Exactly. Especially when you consider that Scott struggled horribly with Walter Estrada and a totally Manuel Medina.

He was an overrated joke. A full bodied welterweight who struggled with average featherweights.
harsh, he was a decent fighter!

Warren is quoted that he still has Harrison under a promotional contract, and although he hasn't spoken to Harrison, he'd like to put him on the march 10 bill

No one will know how good Harrison is till we see him in action, but one thing is for certain he was world class. You do not beat 6 world or former world champions by the age of 26 unless your World Class ! One thing for sure Harrison looks in great shape, but we will have to see what happens in a ring, but i certainly would not rule out him becoming a 3 time world Champ at this moment in time.

Id like to this it 2, but he has done alot of damage to his body (drink, drug use) there are alot of fresh younger boys around n he's not got youth on side now. When you start fighting for money, n i think thats what he's back for, then your not in it for the right reasons ( as i no). Its about the love of the game (dont think he is eny more). Enyways! Its just my opinion, n i hope he Scott proves me wrong.

Old Tom Johnson, old Tracy Harris Patterson, old Robinson, old McCullough, old Medina.

Harrison was effective at featherweight with his size and strength. World class? Whilst all the prime names from his division are missing from his record and he was beaten by Medina and (imo) Polo, I don't buy that.

Now, having been out of the ring for so long and probably at a higher weight, I wouldn't back him to win a British title let alone get anywhere close to a World title.

I agree with much of what you've said but Harrison was a brutal and determined fighter. Its hard to imagine that he wouldnt still be able to slaughter a procession of domestic lightweights. Harrison V Murray would be a cracking fight in theory and Harrison at his best was several levels beyond Murray.

He was very dependent on his size advantage on the night I thought. I don't know if this comeback is gonna go his way.

How many lighter weight boxers have made a successful comeback after over 6 years of retirement?
I wish him well, but its not something I see him doing.

It's just such a long lay off, and for whatever reason that doesn't seem to go well for lighter weight boxers, loss of speed is the main problem I see. And Scott was never the fastest to start with.

For sure, but he was brutal and determined against featherweights. A solid fighter whose main strength was his ability to drain for day before weigh ins. Tough bastard definitely but for pure ability, not world class. My main regret was that we didn't see him and Chi.

He was world class, what he was not was Barrera/Morales class. TBH I always thought a large part of his success was down to the fact that he was one of those guys who's brilliant at cutting weight and turning up twice the size of the other guy.
