    There is quite a few.

    I would have to say the biggest is Sven Ottke.

    Bruce Seldon, but I think that was more than 10 years ago. Well, I guess Mike Tyson during his last 4 fights was a pretty big fraud. He'd say this and that and then wouldn't deliver.

    It's so obviously Audley Harrison. That was a joke. Does anyone remember his pro debut? They played the whole of "Redemption Song" then another ****ing song whilst the opponent just stood in the ring shivering. It was disgraceful. Then he does his first post-Olympics interview and he's speaking in the third person. Didn't take long.

    Yet to turn in a creditable performance.

    Gotta agree with McGrain, Audrey even had me thinking he could make waves in the beginning.

    Audley's win over Danny Williams could be considered a creditable performance, but then again, Danny was nearly 20 stone, and some days just doesn't seem there mentally.

    Therefore any victory for anyone (bar Vitali) over Danny could be considered tainted.

    Sven Ottke for me as I have already said - 20 defences of a strap and was given some of the most ridiculous wide UD's, and contentious SD's/MD's it was almost untrue.

    To be fair he was olympic champion. Just lacks the balls for the pro game

    I was never fooled by Harrison, I always knew it was just a matter of time with him.

    The biggest fraud is about to be exposed. Hatton was always overhyped IMO.
    Gunn is another fighter I've always felt was overhyped.

    However, the King of the Frauds and biggest hype machine in the biz is Joe Calzaghe. He gets the prize for the longest defense without fighting one ATG in his entire career.
    Mind you, I would not be posting this decision had he ever fought a Tarver, Pavlik, Taylor, or a Toney.

    King of the Frauds goes to,

    I have to agree.
    Lacy was one of the biggest Frauds. I have to put Lacy and Kessler side by side with Calzanghe as the King of the frauds. :yep
