What next for Scott Harrison?

I know there's been a lot of SH threads recently, but I was just interested in what everyone thinks Harrisons next move will be. IMO He's shown he's a level above the Abelyans of this world, but is still considered an underdog to all of the Top 3 (Barrera, Marquez+ Paquioa).
Do you think he'll go on fighting 2nd tier fighters and making WBO mandatory defences, or bite the bullet and go for the big matches?

I'd like to see him take on one of the top boys but I doubt that will happen this year.

I think Harrison V Brodie is more likely.

Well he doesn't deserve a shot at the real fighters and he would get annhialated.

He should stick to defending his poxy little WBO title as it's a nice little money earner for him and he can keep defending it against average top 40 opposition and the Glasgow mugs would never notice. (Abelyan was a good opponent but not exactly elite)

And before the all the Scots get on my case about being anti-Scottish, no i'm not as I often say the same about the Manchester mugs who who don't care who Ricky Hatton fights....

Harrison seems like the type to me who will want a big fight should the opportunity present itself.

I think he is like most other WBO champs, all talk but has no balls when it comes to the REAL fighters.

Harrison has equalled the Scottish record of Jim Watt by winning five 'world' title fights and will want to break the record quickly. He'll be back in the ring by September.

How can Scott Harrison do that if he hasn't got a world title?

Hence, the inverted commas.
