Harrison's mistakes all come down to one thing, he has been an obnoxious pudendum and that just about sums it all up.

The Tyson debate is an interesting one that could go on for days.. In short, Tyson was no myth, no fake, he was the breath of fresh air a stale '80's HW division needed.. He was explosive, exciting and re-ignited interest in the division post Ali and Holmes.. With Cus and Rooney he was well developed and achieved the goal of becoming the youngest HW world champion in history.. The problems came when Don King got involved post Spinks, I think it was.. Out went Rooney and the previous more positive influences on Tyson, in came a host of yes men, clingers on and problems.. Your talking about a young, uneducated, ghetto kid with all the money, fame and adulation he could handle.. Its no wonder he went off the rails, became less devoted to his training and as a result became a less effective fighter.. Rumours of late nights, parties etc were rife in the days before the Douglas loss (and not that it matters now but this would of been a Tyson win but for a very long count).. The Holyfield losses started people talking about Tyson's lack of appetite for a battle and yes, its possible Holy would've always had his number, but Holy was very liberal with his head in those fights and Tysons hunger for the game was at a very low ebb at that time, fighting for financial reasons, no longer for "the dream" that was realised in '86, some 10 years previous.

LOL!

That just about sums him up.

He has made many errors in his ludicrous career, but I think the biggest was when the BBC dumped him (quite rightly) & there was an interview with him & Danny Williams was in the studio.

Harrison arrogantly announced he was off the USA to conquer the world.

Williams piped up, saying, how could he go to States when he hasn't even proved that he's the best fighter in London.

Harrison arrogantly belitted Williams & said it's about the world baby, implying that the UK HW scene was beneath him. :roll:

He then goes off to the USA to fight in parts of the USA that even Americans haven't heard of, to fight even worse opponents (infrequently as usual) than he was fighting in Britain!

What a fool he is! :evil:
