    But the timing of his title shot was at least 6 yrs past when he was regarded as a contender.

    I'd say Rahman NOW, even Toney NOW, would be more credible than Audely was in 2011.:think

    Audley was the European champion coming off a big KO win & gold Olympian... what's Charr done?

    While I agree that Charr is a shitty opponent for Vitaly's farewell bout, I don't see how he can possibly do worse than A-Force in the Haye bout.

    I mean c'mon: doing nothing for 2 entire rounds, and going down after he was hit with the first punch clean? You gotta be kidding me.

    I think Charr is a better fighter. Before the title shot Audley Harrison won a controversial decision against C- brazilian Boxer George Arias and then lost to Martin Rogan...so he was not even close to a decent gatekepper level of fighter . Charr is no world class but he at least beat a few capable guys like Taras Bidenko and Sherman Williams,i would say he is a class above Harrison but he will be easily destroyed by Vitali Klitschko anyway.

    Charr is a strong heavyweight.Undefeated, in his prime and in great shape.Harrison is none of those things.

    both dont deserve it, and the fact haye already put him away makes it worse , but charr is un heard off so audley might of been better.

    Come again?

    Audley is a nobody. Charr is an unbeaten knockout artist with an iron chin and balls of steel. :yep

    Has Charr been sparked by a feather fisted Heavyweight with one punch like Harrison was? :huh

    Not worse, but not much better. Small step better than Sosnowski or Mormeck too. Worse than guys like Austin and Gomez though.

    Charr couldn't get a sniff at a spot on Strictly Come Dancing.

    He wouldn't be allowed to clear the rubbish from the studio.

    So there.
