    Audley gets intimidated by anyone who brings the fight to him. Well, he's just timid by nature. Carpentier probably hits harder than Sprott.

    Which Harrison-Williams fight are you referring to when you talk about "Danny Williams early assault" ?

    I would back George Costanza to stop Fraudley within 3 rounds.

    George Costanza beats him on sheer attitude.

    The first 1, Audleys jab and clinching kept him off. Audley actually had a few fights Williams 2-Sprott where he showed some bottle, outside of that he's been safety first, poor stamina, but these men are all 220lb plus, he isn't necessarily getting intimidated by a 175lb man the same way and Audley has some HW dig to make Carpentier cautious.

    No way in hell does Carpentier hit harder than Sprott

    P4P Carpentier is far better ofcourse

    Audley's "jab" didn't do **** - he was pawing at thin air a lot on touching Williams' gloves sometimes.
    He just grabbed like huggy bear every time Williams got close to him, and Williams was sleepwalking too.

    You reply to damn fast not allowing me time to edit :lol:

    Yes the jab and the clinching did keep him off and imagine a 250lb Audley clinching and leaning on a 175lb Carpentier, it will exhaust him

    True. Audley's sheer bulk can make it interesting.
    But Carpentier was a battler, he'd find a way to get his punches through.
    I mean, even as a clincher Audley was mediocre at best.
    Carpentier would probably get in the KO punch early.

    People seem to be forgetting Fraudley's abysmal glass chin - Carpentier does not have to hit that hard to get this joke out of there. All he has to do is hit A-FARCE once and this fight is likely over.

    :good

    Spot on.

    Carpentier didn't have a great set of whiskers himself, mind you - though not as bad as Audley's.
    And it usually takes Audley 2 or 3 rounds to even remember how and why to throw a punch, by which time Carpentier would have landed the finishing blow, and sent Audley to sleep.

    I think skill wise carpentier could do anything haye could.
    I think you over value hayes weapons which work fine on slow super heavys because he has a speed edge. I have folowed haye from the begining where he had stamina problems and was a bit too gung ho.


    By comparison Carpentier shone as kid and at age 19 held his own with the likes of joe jeanette and gunboat smith who would tear harrison a new A-hole.

    But many say the same about Carpentier!

    In fact, he is arguably a bit of an Audley Harrison of his own time. Plenty of hype, but a poor chin and no substance to his offence.

    there was substance to carpentier, its just that he wasn’t American. Its total snobbery to diss the orchid man. Carpentier was a great fighter period. All the Americans who faced him recognised this and respected him. Georges was above Euro level.

    No, I think Audley is more comparable to Billy Wells (and that's perhaps even being too generous to A-Force) .... who Carpentier thrashed twice.

    You think Carpentier had no substance to his offence ? I don't see that. I think his punching was his best asset. He fought hard too, even when over-matched.
