    Thoughts?

    Audley Harrison at the time he fought Haye or Manuel Charr now?

    Audley Harrison is honestly the worst title challenger I can think of. Alright Peter Okhello was bad too. So was Owen Beck. Monte Barret. **** this division sucks outside of the Klits.

    I suspect Charr will throw more than one punch.

    Are you insinuating that Audley is not an ATG?

    Bottom line, if you mention Manuel Charr to the common boxing fan, he doesn't know if he's a swimmer, a tennis player or a soccer player or a baseball or football newcomer or a new guy coming to the NBA or to the Hockey league. Got it?

    Audley was an Olympic Gold Medalist and former WBF HW champ of the world.

    I think if Audely woulda gotten that win over Danny Williams back in 05 and followed it with another over a tough Dominic Guinn, we could very well have seen a tough challenger, and a mainstay contender.
    Audley's amatuer style just never matured. He never had the power to win a slugfest, even against lower level opposition.

    Charr, while far cruder overall, has the potential to become a banger like McCline, and while he's prime, he'll always have a punchers chance in a fight.

    That said. Audley, at 40 yrs old, faaaaarr past his best was the worse defense. Probably the worst in this era. Charr, for all his lack of credibilty, will likely remain a factor in the division for at least another 3-4 yrs. He'll get another title shot too. He could likely win the EBU or sneak a title when the K2 are retired. Audely could never win a world title. He could barely survive on the EU level in his prime.

    Audley wasn't ranked by a sanctioning body; Charr is ranked by the WBC.

    Also, Charr will probably throw a punch. They both suck, however.

    Yeah, I doubt he'll fold up like Audley 'cheap suit' Harrison.

    Charr already has a fight planned with David Haye after calling him out, so obviously Audley is the worse opponent

    They're both terrible, but I'd say Charr is slightly better than Harrison...
