Scott harrison will issue a ringside challenge to the winner of barrera morrales!! Apparently harrison and his trainer wiull travel to las vegas to attempt to thrash out a deal with the winner.

Nice to see at least one british fighter looking for big fights although i suspevt it'll be more likely harrison fights the looser of this one!

Well thing is Morales is in a different weight division :TU: so unless either he or Harrison changes division then it wont happen i dont think :oops:

I could see harrison stepping up in weight, he seems a very big featherwieght, must struggle to get down to 9st

its frank maloney that claims the two are off to vegas, I cans ee morrales beating MAB, I cant see Morrales wanting to fight scott after beating MAB so the logical solution is for MAB to make his comeback with a WBO title shot... thats if he wants to fight on.

Harrison must weigh a lot on fight night, 142 pounds is my guess.

142 sounds a bit much, Ricky Hatton weighs in around that come fight night according to an interview I read, and he's a fair bit bigger than Harrison I'd say.

Harrisons huge on fight night. a fighter told me hes 10 stone on the night. if he ever fights on HBO they do weight on the night so it will tell us how much he does weigh. unless your name is oscar delahoya.

Hatton probably weights north of 150 on fight night.

Harrison I can believe weighs 140-143...

Prime example of harrison was against wayne Mc, no way those two belonged in the same ring that night, size difference was huge.

If he does go over there, it's something that might just work. Both Morales and Barrera are proud guys, if Harrison starts throwing the insults (calling Barrera a "fag" seems to get him a bit unhappy) and mocking them in public he may be able to convince one of them to shut him up. I'd quite like to see him following Morales around, questioning his level of opposition, and his heart.

On the subject of fighters coming in heavy on the night of a fight, what about Gatti? He's had a huge size advantage over some of the guys he's fought.

At least Harrison is willing to face the big guns, i don't see him beating either Morales or MAB but it would be fun finding out. They should try and bring Chi over here, home advantage for Harrison and Chi will travel plus a win would bring home the WBC Featherweight title which is worth a lot more than that WBO trouser belt.

Seems a bit silly to me, even if either wanted the fight Harrison would probably insist on fighting in Scotland and both Morales and Barrera would say fucko offo to that.

Scott probably just fancies a holiday in Vegas and if he can claim it is work related he can get a tax break on it.

Lets be honest here, Harrison is arguably in the top 5 at featherweight, Morales is P4P top 3 - they are different levels in class completely.
