"Audley's definitely got the power to stun the world and upset everybody's thinking. It's another great fight for Britain "It will be a good fight. I think David Haye is a better boxer. He can get off his combinations quicker. But Audley is a consummate pro. He is an Olympic champion and that is a great pedigree. "There have been a couple of stumbling blocks but he is still here. That shows me the desire to be accomplished and successful. I think it will be a close fight."

Gurov had the power to KO Haye too:hey Valuev etc.. If Harrison wasnt Fraudley and had the balls to butt in an uppercut to Hayes chin when he gets to him i´d find the fight interesting but Harrison is A farce and way to slow to land anything other on Haye. Harrison will cover up and throw few jabs what will give Haye the opportunity to jump on him and take him out easily.
I agree with Lennox, Audley is a big powerful heavyweight and even if he has a lot of shortcomings he still has the power to knockout Haye with his suspect chin.
Well, Lewis also picked Haye to beat Valuev so perhaps he's not a Valuev fan. The truth is that Harrison does have the power to floor if not KO Haye but unfortunatley for him his fights scared and his own chin isn't exactly stellar. Haye is going to kick the ever loving crap out of Harrison.
If haye leaves his chin out and let me throw my bombs at him, even I can knocked him out lol......this isnt going to happen in reality.
Lewis is merely stating the obvious in a desperate attempt to hype the underdog and put Haye in a vulnerable light. Sure, Harrison has the *power* to KO him, but so does alot of club fighters, as well. But having the power to do so, and the skills to get it delivered are two different things.
Shows how degenerated Lewis' brain has become. Who on earth other than Lewis and Audley himself think this will be a close fight? You've got to be kidding me. This is a mismatch, just like Audley vs. any other random top 10 HW fighter would be a gigantic mismatch. The fight will likely be over in 60-90 seconds when Audley takes an immediate dive, taking an exit to collect his paycheck.
I broadly agree with your assessment of the fight Not sure what the comments re Lewis' brain do for the discussion. Given the nature of our sport - I think that was a bit glib. Just read a Boxing Monthly feature on Terry Norris who has same condition as Ali - I think we have an obligation as fans not to make that sort of trite statement. Just saying....
Hmm You're right. As a fan of the sport I should have been more careful with regards to referring to brain damage. This is not a topic I should have joked about.
:good And i think Lewis is right. All is possible and Lewis said what his opinion is and he has the right to say this.
