    Yes..

    Audley Harrison is 6"6 man..who can throw flexible combinations, when he is in form. Or when he wants to......

    But what i think no one has ever talked about and looked at in detail...is this Rasta's power. Here is a man....who has decked many guys with uppercuts and single shots, here is a man who despatched of the great and much respected.."Danny Williams" although Danny Williams took the fight at short notice. And Danny Williams is a tough strong man, has good punch resistance...no question.

    Also his speed is underrated, when Audley Harrison let's his hands fly, tell me what 6"6 240+ Heavyweight in the world that currently looks like that..? None..

    But yes..i do believe Audley Harrison has a big stamina problem.

    Audley's ability isnt something thats doubted, he lacks the mentality of a fighter, he showed good skill against Williams, showed the killer instict we longed for but against Sprott he over did it, he just isnt the smart tactician we thought he was, and then he went back to his negative self, he is weak mentally, nothing can solve that problem.

    Personally for such a big man I've always thought Audley was lacking in any real HW power.

    In the sense that I get the impression that half this forum thinks they could have taken an Audley punch, yes.


    In reality as mentioned, as such big athlete with solid technique, he did lack snap.

    For all his faults old Audley had a better career accolade wise than serial PPV fodder David Price

    Audley is a nice man, His performance against Haye is what the average man remembers him for, Haye played a blinder getting that on PPV.

    He had decent ability but zero self belief when the head guards came off.

    In 5 years time David Price threads like this will be getting bumped.
