Harrison was the subject of a movie "Resurrecting the Champ" played by Samuel L. Jackson. Harrison now homeless in Santa Ana, CA. was born in Kingston Jamaica but grew up in Chicago. He said he had fought under the name of "Battlin" Bob Satterfield. He actually didn't, but was ranked higher than Satterfield by Ring Magazine in 1953. He's content living on the streets and answers to the name "champ" to passersby. He had made some money in the ring, saying he used to spend $1000 in a night back in the day with fancy suits and driving a pink Cadillac. He now has a broom and can be seen sweeping in front of shops occasionally being given money for his efforts.

Record complete through 1982 according to RRB 1983
"Hecker the Wrecker" as he was known had some early success against some weaker opponents like Ali Perez, a slick boxer type with a slight facial and body type resemblance of Muhammad Ali and a hard hitting MW billed as the hardest hitting MW in the world at the time, John Molander. His best win was probably against contender Danny Long. After that he was fodder for some up and coming prospects like Doug DeWitt, Alex Ramos and Robbie Simms.

<boxer>002714</boxer> James was a pressure in-fighter who enjoyed success early in his career with wins over Scypion, Singletary and Teddy Mann. He then suffered setbacks against David Braxton, Mugabi and Frank the Animal Fletcher. He won a couple of fights against some softer competition but followed them with losses against an undefeated Donald Curry, Watts and finally a loss against Michael Olajide which sent him into retirement. After a 9 year hiatus he came back as a super middleweight with little success. He finally hung his gloves up in 1996. He was only 5'5" but was one of the most enjoyable fighters to watch always giving a thrilling effort.
