ha ha, makes me look a plank everytime! What can you do. I'm not offering scotty out. I'm just saying it would be a pleasure to share the ring with another top fighter. In his day Scott was a great little fighter .
I enjoyed watching him.

I wish him all the best.

I am not over confident that he will re-establish himself as a belt holder. He was a huge featherweight and by moving up in weight he may lose the strength advantages he enjoyed at 126 pounds.

Technically he was very average and this was exposed by the ageing Medina in their first bout. To his credit he snatched his title back in a rematch in what was probably his best performance.

34 is old for a lighter weight fighter and two and a half years of inactivity will not be shaken off overnight. Good Luck to him whatever happens.

I think he was very underestimated because he was so aggressive and straight forward. I think if you asked Robinson of Mculloch about his technical ability they would disagree. It's all about opinions.

He was certainly no Pernell Whitaker but he had the ability to beat some good fighters. Brodie and McCullough to name a few. Whether he can make an impact will be interesting to see but it's good he's getting his life sorted.

The McCullough fight was disgusting, yet highlighted just why Harrison was so effective. Two fighters who weren't dwarfed by him (Medina and Polo) made him look thoroughly average

At light-welterweight all his advantages would be taken away and he doesn't have the speed, skills or power to get away with it

He was Dehydrated after the fight and took a beating

he admited later when he stepped into the ring Harrison was massive compared to him and was like a welterweight

Remeber at one point Waynes Missis asking him if he was ok round about 10th i think

he did take some punishment , Waynes hard as nails too though

Which was about as compassionate as Cheryl got. I remember she seemed pretty unmoved at the amount of punishment Wayne was taking but each to their own. For me Wayne was too tough for his own good and somebody should have stopped that fight.

His kids were there live too

think it was due to the fact he had never been stopped and was quite vocal in that so the ref probably gave him benifit off the doubt much like Gatti and Guys with reputations like that.

He should box Mickey Hunter over 10 rounds on the condition that both have to dust 8 pints beforehand. My money's on 'The Easington Road Tornado' all day long.

At cruiser?

Seriously, Harrison is looking very musclebound in the pictures. What weight could he SAFELY get down to?

Nothing less than 10st i reckon. He must have really struggled to make 9st in his last fights.
