    A-farce is a fraud that talks himself into big fights... Disgrace to boxing, and every time he fights he's basically spitting in the face of every boxing fan out there.

    Audley is not one of worlds greatest minds and neither are you, far from it imo. Most ridiculed boxer in history possibly, but thats as far as hes greatness goes

    wouldnt say i hate the guy, just hate how he goes about his business, know its part of selling a fight, but lack of effort when it counts adds up, also the bbc thing, think many blame him for no boxing on non subscription tv, obv before channel 5 came in

    saying that i watched in amazement when he knocked out sprott in the 12th one and only time i was impressed with him in pro outings and he was dismal before that shot

    I used to not like him but then saw him on strictly come dancing and thought he was a lovely funny man. He seems nice.

    He's an incredibly tedious con man. Boxing's biggest fraud, in fact.

    During the Haye-Harrison build up, Fraudley was admittedly very entertaining, inspirational, and hilarious...albeit it in a you know it's bull**** but it's fun to go along with the joke kind of way, like the WWF.

    Anyone who paid for that PPV or actually believed Fraudley could win is a fecking mug :lol:.

    I don't hate Audley Harrison that is a strong word and he seems a decent bloke outside the sport of boxing. My problem is that he is only motivated by money, not for one second did he ever actually believe himself that he would ever win a world title. The whole spiel he cooked up about having hope and achieving your destiny is just utter bull **** to try and talk himself into fights and pay days he never deserved or earned.

    He did it very well and became rich in the process, but he is everything a boxer shouldn't be, I also found his fights very dull and his timidness and terrified wild eyed face when he took punches was really pitiful to watch.

    He's hated becuse he threw away two things most poeple never have in life, talent and oppurtunity.

    What a waste.......
