    Shannon Briggs? Kevin Johnson? ALBERT SOSNOWSKI?

    At least there is a reason to this fight, it's a grudge fight ten years in the making, one between two people who genuinely don't like each other, and who will put everything on the line.

    It's such an interesting fight for so many reasons - if Haye doesn't train properly, if he takes it easy, then there is every chance Harrison could do a number on him.

    I know Harrison has had his losses, but how many of you would still wanna see Ricky Hatton/Junior Witter? Sometimes you've got to ignore records in boxing, and start seeing the romantic side of things.

    Not a great deal of difference. But it is still going to be seen as a bit of a joke. Harrison hasn't got a hope in hell.

    If the Harrison who beat Danny Williams in the second of their encounters turns up he has a chance. If the Harrison of every other fight he's had turns up then forget it.

    difference is Harrison has been a joke for the best part of his pro career.

    Haye is considered a world level fighter.

    Harrison will do what Harrison does best, sit back and **** himself.

    It's more the statements that Haye made, that he was going to be the saviour of the division and fight only the top heavyweights.

    There is so much more choice than Audley out there.

    Firstly, what the Klitschko's have done is no defence for Haye taking this fight. Haye himself has criticized the Klit's for those fights as we fans have, so he should be critical of himself now.

    Secondly, no, no, no. Audley has very little chance.

    Pretty pathetic to try to justify this, it's not going to be interesting, there's next to no risk and who gives a toss about Haye and Harrison not being chummy.

    I'd rather watch two people who don't like each other get it on in the ring, than watch two people who couldn't give a **** tip toe around for twelve rounds.

    The fact is, this is ONE fight in Haye's career, everyone goes on about Ricky Burns, how he should have a homecoming of sorts, an easy defence, well this is Haye's.

    Every boxer in the world takes easy fights, was everyone this up in arms at Pacman when he fought Clottey?

    I think its a reasonable fight. Big money to be made in the UK , grudge match and A-Force is just as good as Briggs.

    Are you stupid? Clottey is a world class fighter. Audley Harrison is not.

    Exactly. Harrison is no worse and probably better than the guys the Klitschkos tend to fight.

    Briggs held a world title once. He gave Lennox Lewis a good fight for a few rounds. His last minute lucky KO came against Liakhovich, a world title holder. Harrison's last minute lucky KO came against Sprott, a tuneup guy for German prospects. I doubt that Kevon Johnson would be outpointed by Rogan. Sosnowski had two losses going into the fight with Vitali, how many does Harrison have?
