He doesnt want to move up because he'd lose his size advantage and without that he's just an average fighter... he'll never do anything at 130 or 135 and I doubt he'll fight again for a long time if ever...

He'd still have a decent size advantage at 130 and somewhat at 135. He weighs 146 on fight night, thats more than Corrales was at 130. Don't forget hes a physical beast with low bodyfat. Harrison is never going to be the material to be king of a division but at 130-135 he should be able to ebat some top10 opponents and grab a trinket. Aslong as he takes on fighters who'll stand in front of him and go toe-toe he is in with a shot.
I also think Harrison is better than Juarez who gave Barrera problems. Barrera may be ripe for the taking at this stage in his career. A Pacman fight may sound like a foregone conclusion but the fact that Pacman would brawl with Harrison gives the Scot a shot at winning.

I think you rate Harrison far too high, all he's had going for him his last few fights is his extra size and strength, his technique has been sliding for years now, since the first Medina fight... even a faded Barrera would dismantle him and I very much doubt he will ever get that fight or any other big fights now... about the only big fight I could see happening is Harrison vs Arthur and after all thats gone on I'd go for Arthur in that...
Scott hasnt fought for over a year and may well be out for much longer if he goes to jail, the chances are if he ever does get back into the ring he'll be seriously deteriorated and will get bashed up by the first decent opponent he faces....

Surley a match with Alex Arthur would be the biggest money spinner, but would Warren be willing to use Harrison again?

Warren took Williams back out of necessity. With his stable still shallow, he'll find room for Harrison against Arthur.
Though what Harrison now offers Arthur, I'm not sure.

I heard they tried to get Cook to agree to fight at 9,6 but he wasn't having it.

Good on Cook, why the hell should he give up half a stone as good as even before rehydrating Harrison would be over a stone heavier than him by fight time no doubt.
Harrison is a disgrace.
Any word from SN/boxingchat on this farce of a bill??
Lets have Cook v Asiku !

If Action Jackson Asiku is ready Nicky Cook could box him for intrem title maybe?

On the BBC, Peter Harrison is saying Scott couldn't even make 9 stone 6. Farce all round.

Amir Khan's fight has been made for the IBF intercontinental light welterweight belt...
Does this get around allegedly advisting a card of world championship boxing???
The whole thing leaves a disgusting taste in the mouth, the Harrison's, Hughes and Warren should have made an apology by now (in Frankies case just something on his website would be a start!)

Obviously a cynical and feeble attempt to keep the headline bill as world championship boxing before people ask for their money back.

A 5hitty intercontinental label wont cover Frank's @rse of this occassion.
Anyone requesting a refund on tickets is fully entitled to one in my opinion.
Anyone applied/applying for one?

Tickets are still being sold, advertising Harrison-Cook, available via a link from Sports Network's site:
http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/promo/299
They (Ticketmaster or SN, I'm not sure) are always incredibly slow to react.

Exactly. Sports Network/Fwank Warren should be investigated and dealt with by Trading Standards, and the BBBoC.

Fat chance, they owe him for bailing them out.

This is disgraceful, people have paid hard earned cash to go to this fight first Skelton pulls out fair enough he was injured but Scott Harrison makes my blood boil he was never going to make weight should of done the honourable thing when he realised. I got a ticket for his fight in Belfast in May and he didn't fight. It's robbing the public.

I laid on a double (parlay) for Cook and (Audley) Harrison to win, they've stopped taking bets on Harrison/Cook but I haven't had my money returned yet. Anyone else had their bets for Saturday cancelled yet?

Just checked with thw website my bet has now become a single on Harrison and I can't get my money back even to bet the same amount on something else - GAY
