    Lennox Lewis warns David Haye: Never write off Audley Harrison

    Lennox Lewis knows only too well how abruptly the world of the heavyweight champion can be turned upside down by one almighty blow and he gives Audley Harrison every chance of doing exactly that to David Haye on Saturday night.
    As one British wearer of the ring's holy grail to another, Lewis warns Haye: 'Audley has the power to stun the world and upset everybody's thinking.'
    The widespread perception of Harrison's challenge for Haye's WBA title being something of a joke is dismissed by the man who, 17 years ago, became the first Englishman to win the world heavyweight championship in more than a century.

    I'm Gunner be No 1: Harrison insists he'll beat David Haye next Saturday

    'This will be a close fight,' said Lewis, shortly after acting as starter for a charity run in Jamaica.
    Also, as a former Olympic champion himself, he refuted all the insulting 'Fraudley' accusations that 39-year-old Harrison has not delivered as a professional in the 10 years since he won gold for Britain at the Sydney Games.
    'David is the better boxer,' said Lewis.
    'He can get of f hi s combinations quicker. But no matter what anyone says Audley is a consummate pro. He is an Olympic champion and that is great pedigree.'
    Nor does Lewis subscribe to the view that Harrison lacks a warrior heart.
    He said: 'OK, there have been a couple of stumbling blocks. But he is still here. That shows he has the desire to succeed.'

    Eyes on the prize: Haye is defending his title

    Two chastening experiences of his own - inflicted on nights when he was expected to win easily - back up Lewis's opinion that a packed MEN Arena and more than half a million Sky pay-TV viewers may witness one of the great surprises in boxing history.
    The year after being awarded the linear WBC title when incumbent champion Riddick Bowe refused to meet his challenge and dumped the belt in a London dustbin, Lewis was stopped by Oliver McCall at Wembley.
    The American closed his eyes at the start of the second round and threw a massive punch, more in hope than direction.
    It caught Lewis flush on the jaw and although he staggered to his feet before the count reached 10 the referee decided he was in no condition to continue. Lewis protested but later admitted to complacency.
    It took him another four years and a re-match with McCall - who suffered a mental breakdown and wept uncontrollably in the Las Vegas ring that night - to regain that title. Still the lesson was not fully absorbed.
    The second of the only two defeats Lewis suffered in a stellar career, which ended six years ago in retirement as the undisputed champion, carries even louder resonance for Haye.
    Lewis became attracted to the bright lights of Hollywood and agreed to appear in the Ocean's Eleven movie.
    Not only was his training disrupted but filming in Las Vegas delayed his departure to South Africa.

    On the ropes: Lennox Lewis was knocked out by Hasim Rahman in 2001

    Hasim Rahman promptly knocked him out in the fifth round. Haye, 30, is already planning early retirement next October and a movie career to follow.
    The parallels are fascinating and another lies behind this remark by Lewis: 'This is another great fight for Britain.'
    The previous world title fight between two of this country's heavyweights took place at the then Cardiff Arms Park on a chill, damp October night in 1993.

    It was the second defence of Lewis's first reign as world champion and the challenger was Frank Bruno.
    Lewis - like Haye this week - was a heavy odds-on favourite. Yet Bruno dominated five of the first six rounds and appeared on the brink of a sensational stoppage in the seventh when Lewis threw a huge, desperate punch.
    Bruno tended to be paralysed upright when caught heavily on the chin and as Lewis went for KO the referee had no option but to intervene.
    For Harrison to go one better than Bruno did that evening, Lewis offers this advice: 'Audley has to prove he has good stamina.
    'He needs to throw a lot of punches, exploit his size advantage with that jab and find a way through with one of those terrific left hands of his.'

    Mind games: but Audley is the overwhelming underdog

    As a fellow Englishman, Lewis is reluctant to get between two of his London 'brothers' by offering a firm prediction.
    But he has been talking with Harrison and said: 'Boxing is an uncertainty. You don't know what may happen if Audley is able to contend with David's speed and neutralise it.
    'Audley realises it's now or never. He sounds very confident.'
    Then again, he always does. The one question not even Lennox Lewis can answer is whether Audley Harrison will bring that belief with him into the ring.

    Audley hates fighting and getting hit end of,as for his trainer saying we`ll see a new Audley come off it you cant change the habits of a lifetime at his age.
    This fight is nothing like the Lewis v Bruno fight,at that time Bruno may of been the underdog but had only lost to top world class fighters.
    Audley has lost and struggled against average domestic fighters.

    For once I am going to defend Audley :lol:

    Danny Williams was a good domestic fighter not an average one, he did have a crack at a world title. But Audley was supposed to be the second coming and he couldn't deal with Williams, got knocked out by sprott, beaten easily on points by Guinn (the best fighter he has faced) and was out hustled by a teak tough cab driver. Damn, I'm slating Audley again :lol:

    If he had half the talent and fighting ability he thinks he has he would be dealing with those guys comfortably...he just doesn't have it and that is why he will lose on saturday.

    I haven't seen anything different from Audley since his form turned around, he won 3 3 rounders against nobodies in prize fighter, wins a European title against a guy who had lost more of his last 6/7 fights than he had won, was outboxed (injury or no injury) but landed a career best shot in the 12th. Sosnowski would have raped Audley had they fought.

    I understand why the fight is happening and all but Audley is who he is.
