With all Scott Harrisons recent out of ring problems Cook will never have a better chance of beating Harrison or getting himself a world Title.

There is no way Harrison can be 100% mentaly right for this fight, but with hindsight who knows what state he was in for some of his others?

I lean towards a Cook points win at this point in time.

I second that comment.

But for me Cook is simply not world class. Watched some of Cook's mid career fights and thought he made very hard work of them. Felt he tried too hard in trying to tko his opponent and pleasing his following whilst neglecting the more natural easier route to victory.

Before Harrison's troubles I wouldn't have given Cook a chance and even now the fight is 50/50 as I don't know what condition Harrison is going to turn up in. But maybe, just maybe, with everything that Harrison has gone through, a fire may have been lit up the fellas arse and if Cook comes to trade then I think Harrison will win inside the distance.

and the future for harrison if he wins???

He loses his title either before (prison) or in his next fight (which I believe has to be Marquez)

If Harrison does get past Cook he will get an absolute beatdown from Marquez if he can stay out of prison long enough.

If Cook wins then he might get some time to defend the belt before facing Marquez. Remember the crap going on with the WBC Feather title and the interim title? My bet is Cook will be allowed some time to defence the belt and good old WBO will collect fees from him and Marquez for a while.
