Seems that Pacman wants to set up a fight with Scott Harrison since all the others are already booked. LOL, can anyone really see allegedly letting Harrison anywhere near Pacman? This fight will never happen, money will probably be the excuse but everyone knows the real reason.

The fight will NEVER happen but would be good while it lasted

Isn't Harrison wanting to fight Chi ?

Chi isn't booked is he? Maybe Pacman can fight him?

now that would be even better

Edit: oh just read the end of the article saying Chi doesn't have a big enough following.. That's why. But i dont think Harrison would have much more overin the states where i am assuming the fight would take place.

Frank can hardly pull the "he's not a draw line" with Pacman, this is the man who KO'ed Barrera who beat Naz. If Harrison won this fight he'd become pretty well known in boxing circles in the states. Doesn't matter though, they won't take this fight, not in a million years. Pacquaio has everything that Scott Harrison hates in an opponent, footspeed, handspeed and power (everybody hates that I suppose). The slow defenseless Harrison would get blown out in no time. Remember that Columbian repeatedly nailing Scott with straight lefts in his last match before Abelyan, he wouldn't stand a chance. It would be target practice.

It would be really refreshing if he did agree to take a risk and take the fight, but he won't.

I think this would be a great fight, but somehow, I know it won't happen. I don't honestly think Warren has the confidence in Harrison (or honestly in any of his fighters) to throw him in with a world beater (and possibly lose that WBO belt).

I think Harrison would be well up for it, but I wouldnt give him much of a chance. FW will try and scupper this for sure.

My granny always used to say, "I want, never gets".

There is zero chance of this fight ever happening. Whilst Harrison's making money for Frank, he's not going to throw him in with someone who could potentially walk all over Scott. I agree with 007, Harrison would take the fight without a second thought, the stumbling block would be Mr Warren.

How much of a say would Warren have anyway? With Hatton he can scupper what he likes because he's acting as manager too, he doesn't have that arrangement with Harrison to my knowledge (or does he?)

This is just gossip and rumours that make the boxing world go round.

If Harrison was anywhere near as good as Frank Maloney keeps bleating on about, Sportsnetwork would make the match, the "The Real McCoy"'s (

) career has talked big for some time now, but the reality is very synthetic.

if this fight was to happen, and its a very massive if, then its at least a year away. The Franikes keep talking about a couple of more defences for Scott then a big outdoor summer showdown with a top dude and Pacquaio is a top dude, theres usually talk of Barrera or Chi as well. But saying as we're now in September and the time it would take to put a fight like this together is months, then i dont suppose we'll see an outdoor bout with Scott Harrison in February.

So in reality we've got a minimum of 12 months for either one of the Frankies to come up with a whole host of excuses why Harrison isnt fighting the top notch boys.

shame really. i actually beleive Harrison when he says he wants to fight these type of fighters. just a shame he hasnt got the backing to make it a reality

I think Harrison could push Pac and if it went the distance I reckon it would be pretty close on the score cards. I think Harrison will show us something more if he ever get put under the pressure to perform that Pacman will no doubt give him.

I think Harrison Vs Pacman or Chi would ne a wonderfull fight.

My gut feeling is that Scott Harrison wants these fights, but will they happen? I doubt it

He think Harrison has a good chance of beating either of them, he would be a slight underdog IMO, but I believe they are both winable fights for Harrison.

Not in a million years would Scott beat Pacquaio. He has nothing to trouble him. He's big and strong but Manny is not going to be near him for that to take effect, his footspeed would be an absolute nightmare for him to deal with. Remember the trouble Medina's constant movement caused Harrison? Pacquaio's even more lively only he carries a massive threat with his left hand which Medina didn't.
