    Who the hell is Piers Morgan to criticize a warrior of the ring like A-Force?

    Can he beat Danny Williams? Can he beat Michael Sprott? Can he beat undefeated Tomasz Bonin?(One of Haye's best wins)... no you can't so shut the hell up and leave Audley alone.

    I'm sorry but anybody who turns pro isn't going to be fighting elite level or even European level opponents after only 10 fights max. Fair enough Audley turned out to be **** but his viewing figures were still impressive back then. I don't know about you but if another English heavyweight again was to win gold at the olympics i certainly wouldn't complain if he signed a million pound deal with the BBC for 10 fights again, would certainly much prefer that than watching some **** like Dancing on ice or cricket.

    We all whine about PPV but Audley gets stick for signing with the BBC.

    Seems Audley can't win...

    Nobody wants to see a bunch of free meaningless fights against bums when a fighter is talking like he'll be a future world champ in 5 fights. What about over-reaching don't you understand??:lol:

    Audley's pro debut would have been on PPV these days! Audley's pro debut had more national interest than Groves-DeGale.

    Do you think Audley has failed as a professional ON PURPOSE?

    What do you think Audley's plan was?

    "I know, I'll squander my talent and never become champ which would earn me £10m a fight all so that instead I'll have the chance to trick a few fans into buying my small-time fights, and **** off some ******s on ESB into the mix!"

    Yeah, guess that was his plan all along.

    What's that got to do with anything?

    People are entitled to say what they want, and all of what Morgan said in the piece is true. Harrison gave it the big bollocks when he turned pro, ''A-Force is a brand'', ''I'll be British champion after five fights'', ''I'll be better than Lennox Lewis''

    Now, I'm sure the latter remark was said in self promotion, but you simply cannot come out with such shite and not expect to be criticised if it all goes up in smoke. It's one thing daring to be great and coming up short.... it's entirely another running from any serious challenges in his first four years as a pro.

    The first half decent fighter he faced was Danny Williams, a shot version at that - he gave it the big 'uns before the fight then spent 12 rounds running and deservedly lost the decision.

    Even though he didn't deserve his day in the sun and big payday against Haye, I'm glad that he was not only embarrassed but told ''you're **** and you know you are....'' by several thousand spectators.

    Like Froch said, he should just jump on a plane and go as far away from here as he possibly can and never come back.

    It matters a lot because that smug faced arsehole has far too much to say for himself! he is in absolutely no position to sneer and feel superior to anyone about boxing. If you havent fought then in my opinion you have absolutely no right to slate anyone who has- because they've showed something that you(not you personally) have never shown- BALLS

    As Theodore Rosevelty once said, ""It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
