    As Audely says, the BBC is racist. They prevented him from using his natural slick blackness and fight in style his white audience could relate to

    Other gold medalists wlad, pov, lewis, all turned pro much younger and spent their best years at the top of the division.
    Lewis turned pro at 23 and was fighting a good level of opposition by the time he was 26.
    Wlad turned pro at about 20 and was fighting the likes of chris byrd at 24 and spent his best years at the top.
    Pov, although only 2 or 3 years younger than audley when he turned pro, he was very quickly progressing up the ranks and meeting good opposition by 2007.
    This is what is different between those gold medalists and audley
     
  3. doctors discovered that his balls were actually external ovaries.

    His style was wrong for the pro's and he never really adapted to the professional game. He's a pure counter puncher and is just too timid to make it as a pro. He won prize fighter because it was basically like amateur boxing, over a longer fight he simply doesn't do enough to be anything but a journeyman.

    Where do I start ?
    1. A force = A farce
    2. promoting himself coz he thought he knew it all and that he was bigger than the game .
    3.not wanting to get into a fight incase he got hit.
    4. He is what I call a celebrity boxer , likes the thought of being in the public eye coz it gives him a chance to chat **** to a large audience but then not having the balls to see it through,even though he has all the attributes to have been in the heavyweight mix.
    5. Wanting to keep his hair style a secret before fights, thinking people give a **** about his hair .We just wanted to see him fight and were badly let down time after time

    I hate it when people say "he had all the tools but.."

    He didn't. It's as simple as that

    I'm a little tired, but they may have been a metaphor for testicles?

    He made a major mistake as a pro by adding Fr to his first name.

    He was missing a black and decker electric sander... something that all previous heavyweight champs had.
