    Lewis had a far better record than Audley in world title fights and passed the eye test, his 1-2 was far better than Audley`s, Bruno would have sparked Audley and Ruddock and Morrison would have too.

    Harrison wouldn't really fit into any eras heavyweight scene as a serious contender, would he?.


    One of the biggest hype jobs ever.

    Agreed. AH never beat a single world champion, unless you consider WBF champ, the fearsome ''Dutch Sonny Liston'' a legitimate world champ?

    That being said, AH could punch a bit so if he fought Lewis twice there's at least a 50% chance he would one punch spark him out cold at least once

    Spot on.

    Audley would have gotten sparked out by Wlad 2017 inside a couple rounds. The only genuine comparison that can be made between Audley and AJ is that they both somehow won gold in the Olympics.

    Even Hughie Fury would have probably beaten Audley.

    He’d provide a highlight reel of savage KO’s all by himself

    No question about it

    And unlike AH, Hughie has actually fought world class opponents and arguably beaten some of them or at least given a good account of himself whilst displaying legit manly punch resistance

    AJ would hurt him very badly.

    Richel hersisa was a top top world champ.
    Audley destroyed him. For me, sonny Liston should be referred to as the American Richel hersisia

    Dominic negus was also world level… Audley dominated him.

    Prime Audley is actually a good question. Probably when he fought Bonin or the Sprott rematch.
    The reality is he became an overly cautious counter puncher.... He dones't beat the likes of Clarke or Wardley.
    AJ even the version that lost to DD destroys him. Chisora might be too much.
