He doesn't seem to have any real natural ability, infact judging from his training videos he looks pretty terrible.
No amateur experience either, it's almost seems to have just decided that he wants to be a boxer since His brother Connor made his debut. I wouldn't normally comment on this type of thing, as I don't know the background (other then all that Twitter stuff recently) but he and his mother seem very eager to attack his dad at every opportunity, but at the same time he changed his second name to Benn, and comes out wearing Nigel's signature black shorts. He should be intelligent enough to realise the only reason he was on TV last night, and we are talking about him on here is because of his father, so IMO he shouldn't be so quick to keep bashing him as I find it a little off putting personally.

Putting that aside, he is fighting at to high a weight that's pretty clear. He needs to be down at little middle, maybe even welterweight. I will watch with interest, and wish him all the best.

FFS, do you know the history between him and his father? He's every right to bash him, Nigel did absolutely bugger all to deserve any respect from his son, aside from empty his nut sack.

Do you know the actual full details from being told by somebody actually involved or something? Fair enough if you do mate

Look Nigel smashed a poll dancer, got her pregnant and ran- big deal, it happens all the time. The only point I was trying to make was that, maybe Harley should just keep quiet about his dad on tv/Twitter instead of giving it all the I'm not doing it for him stuff, blah blah blah- yet he's decided to become a boxer, he's changed his 2nd name from Andrews to Benn, He comes out (like Connor) wearing Nigel's black shorts...etc doesn't that come off abit odd?

Personally, I think deep down like most sons they would kill to have their fathers on board - I would hazard a guess it's his mother (who seems to like the attention judging from the other night and selling her story in the papers yrs ago) that's advising him.
