just how good was A-Force..

Let's ask Michael Sprott.

A-Farce??? He was a joke, a glass jawed joke at that.

Total fraud, basically bilked the BBC for millions. Fraudley, essentially, was a thief and a con-man.

 

He was bloody good

 

Nah max Baer was good

A-farce was beyond a joke

 

Now your growing on me

 

He was very very good. I feel blessed to have watched him fight.

 

He's got good skills.

Just lacks the heart and killer instinct.
He never wanted to be a prize fighter. He wanted to be a celeb.

 

Elite, amazing reign as WBF world champion and should have a win over Wilder by DQ after those illegal punches from Wilder.

 

Was? He still is :deal

 

He's an all-time great, definitely top 5 in the all-time heavyweights, possibly top 3.

The only question is does he make the all-time top 10 pound-for-pound ??

 

Whenever I encounter an obstacle in my life I think, "What would A-Force do?"

When the chips are stacked against me and the odds are long, when I'm casting about blindly in the darkness for a lifeline I think, "how would Audely handle this situation?"

when I feel I can't take another step, that the world is crumbling around me, an icy black cold has gripped my heart and torn my soul to pieces I cry to the heavens, "A-Force! Grant me strength! Tell me what to do!"

And the answer is always the same. He looks at me with a kindly benevolence and says: "Act like a delusional weirdo. It worked for me!"

 

I think it's a fair question that I myself am curious about as well. He won a gold medal, is it wrong to assume he must have had some skills?
One would assume a 6'5", 250lb guy with a 86 inch reach who had enough skills to win a Gold medal would be danger to anyone.
If he took a punch well would his career have been much different? Was it case a of once he got KO'd he became too gunshy to be effective?

 

Also, A-Farce is possibly the funniest nickname I've ever heard.
