Scott Harrison

[finzwinz]

I'm sure that that BBC documentary about him stated that he was due to get out of jail today?

Hope he can sort his life out now, get his license back and get a few earners in. Gotta be thinking that Scott will be sitting 20 years from now reminicing of what could have been.

Best of British to you Scotty!:happy

[Axl_Nose]

Most over-rated fighter ever. A man who never competed at world level because he was WBO.

[finzwinz]

Absolute codswollop Axl! A man that could have been an absolute beast! If Scotty never had the chip on the shoulder it would have been interesting to see what he would have done at the very top level!

Bear in mind that when he was 'WBO' a certain welshman that rhymes with shmalsmaggy was doing exactly the same! Who promoted said individuals? Hmmmmm

[Infern0]

Harrison is a has been, hes worse than audley

[greengloves]

good boxer but what a cunt of a person, a disgrace to boxing, the ring is a better place without him in it!

[telboy66]

it's the same old sad story of a tough little fighting man from scotland who like so many of his country men could not control his love of the drink, When at top of his game he was very hard to beat but between fights would go off the rails good talent but no discipline

[scurlaruntings]

Most over-rated fighter ever. A man who never competed at world level because he was WBO.Thats absolute rubbish. Its clear from your post you dont know squat about Harrisons career. Dont trawl Boxrec looking for hints. Watch some of the kids fights. Harrison was limited but that kid was world class no questiona bout that. WBO or not he WAS a legit threat at featherweight and one of the most feared because of his physical size and strength.

[scurlaruntings]

Harrison is a has been, hes worse than audleySome real fucking idiots in this thread. I dont know why half you clowns bother to join up. Its pretty clear most of you have been watching boxing for less than 2 minutes and dont know the first thing about the sweet science.

The man drowned his sorrows in drink. His personal life aside is no ones business. His life inside the ring though was very commendable. Shame we never got to see him in his prime vs Alex Arthur. I know who my money would have been on.

fuck off you cockney cunt.

[jc]

Harrison had in his hands and through it away!

[hitman_hatton1]

can't see him getting his licence back.

especially with that case in spain pending.

only got himself to blame. :patsch

[HairyHighlander]

He has lost a couple of stone and looks to be in great form according to the papers. His friends etc say they are genuinely shocked at how healthy he is looking,though they also say they aint getting no hopes high as he has fallen apart in this instance so many times before.

All the best to him, a WARRIOR in the ring :deal Faced everyone in front of him and made his dad and Scotland proud, shame he is remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Shame about some of the previous posts. If your gonna be a COCK at least be good at it :deal

Imagine the scene ...

He gets his license (is going to be hard i know)
He gets a contract back with ****** (would he take him back ?)
Warm up fight then call's for Arthur (nice bit of cash and can get a nice name on his resume')
Walks through Arthur (is what he does best)

I loved to watch Arthur but then he seemed to go stale and he always seemed too happy with ******.

Anyways,just a thought and one i would love to see happen.I would want Harrison to win as he needs it more than Arthur. I like them both as fighters.

:bbb

What's with all the Scotland's greatest ever boxer nonsense from the guy who made that documentary??

well he was a two time world champion dont know how many socttish boxers were that before him .buchanon and lynch were only one time champs.

Its not that difficult to imagine....any half decent version of Scott Harrison would hammer Alex Arthur

[girv]

Disagree that Harrison would beat Arthur, I think that Arthur would outpoint Harrison fairly easily.

I was at Harrisons last fight and that was over two years ago and in between times he's not always been in shape. I think it would be very hard for him to come back successfully.

His biggest battle will be to persuade the board to give him his ticket back.

[Dunky McCafferty]

What's with all the Scotland's greatest ever boxer nonsense from the guy who made that documentary??

Its quite simple really, listen to the documentary properly.

The guy is no hardcore boxing fan like the types you will bump into here,(although there are very few clued up boxing fans left on brit ESB if you ask me, but thats for another post!)

I cringed listening to the narrator proclaim Harrison to be Scotlands finest, IMO he COULD have been the finest, he was one great win away from eclipsing Buchanan, Lynch & Watt. If Scotty had beaten JMM or Guzman(fights that fell through) then he would truly have been the man up here. He didnt though, end of story. So he doesnt deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Lynch, Buchanan or Watt in the cold light of day, & its all his own fault.

However, as usual the anti-scottish moron brigade are out in force as usual, trying to tell us all that Scotty was worse than Audley etc... Thats why I dont post much anymore. Cos it aint fun arguing with the moron brigade anymore, Im getting too old to waste my time with the influx of football fan style posters that seem to be taking over the place now.

& thats sad. Well for me anyway.

[johnp]

i hope he stays well never mind getting back in the ring. the spain case will be sorted next year, hopefully that is sorted and then maybe he can get back to the boxing.

Unfortunately I don’t think SH will step foot in a ring again. By his own admission on the documentary, he thought he was looking at 5 years. Also with this case hanging over him, I don’t think he will get a license.

[telboy66]

fuck off you cockney cunt.

what a shame you chose to omit the rest of my post but there again you were probablly pissed at the time plus I'm not a Cockney of any sort I am of true Anglo saxon stock

[brown bomber]

Scott was a great fighter- a little one dimensional and over reliant on his strength at world class but in lineal terms he was certainly a contender. Through his gifts away but still achieved a hell of a lot.

[Dibbs]

Scott was a good pressure fighter who could wear his opponents down, he certainly had good physical strength coupled with a granite chin which made him very hard to beat. Despite his personal demons outside the ring, Scott was a good champion, never ducked opponents, gave the fans toe 2 toe wars, in many ways he was a throw back fighter.

He looks pretty gaunt there lets hope he can get back in the gym & keep off the sauce with disipline he could still be a force maybe not on the world scene but defo on the British & european if thats enough for him.
he is worth another shot but it's a long one

He's still got a court case in Spain to be resolved before he can think about getting his boxing licence back. The court case is apparently scheduled for some time in 2009. Fairly serious charges he faces over there with a possible custodial sentence.

The fella needs to get his life sorted before he even thinks about boxing again.

Yes, but the guy being a boxing noob is no excuse. It didn't exactly need much research. It's just the usual laziness.

....mentioning Harrison with Audrey is just silly. If Harrison returns he could surely still be a force at world level.

[brown bomber]

It all seemed to go wrong very suddenly for Scott. I was told by a close friend of the family before all this shit that he was a very quiet, level headed guy.... real shame.

[johnp]

Not excusing his behaviour but a lot of things happened to him all at the same time

[GPater11093]

i heard ****** would take him back if he got a license which he might get if hes lucky

anyguy who puts mculloch in hospital is a beast not even Naz could do that. harrison is the best scottish fighter since watt

[bigG]

he was a monster at the weight...not particuallry skilled, nor possesing one punch dynamite, just a fantastic work ethic and the abiltiy to walk through walls whilst dishing out continuous heavy punishment.....a fit, focussed hurtful harrison would have been a handful for anyone..i wish him all the best and hope he recovers his health and hapiness more importantly than his boxing career...

[themacallan]

It all seemed to go wrong very suddenly for Scott. I was told by a close friend of the family before all this shit that he was a very quiet, level headed guy.... real shame.i heard it was fairly common knowledge around his team he was going off the rails.

[MTG]

i heard it was fairly common knowledge around his team he was going off the rails.

it was common knowledge that he was going off the rails but the hangers on didnt do anything to help-they where happy to be around a world champ so they could feel big-a shame tho cos his father is a really nice guy who tried to help but i think it was just out of his hands.

[BodyBlaster]

Thats the thing, Harrison was on the slide for several fights, BEFORE he went totally off the rails.
Now, who knows what he got left, and at least Arthur lives clean.
In his heyday, he'd have battered Arthur, it was a regular occurence in sparring, in fact Peter Harrison stopped them sparring together, then Arthur left.

[BodyBlaster]

Yes, but the guy being a boxing noob is no excuse. It didn't exactly need much research. It's just the usual laziness.

I think more likely, if he even gets his licence back, he will be a domestic/euro level fighter.
Both his lifestyle, and struggles with the weight have already taken there toll.
Some good fights out there though, Arthur, Gomez, Cook, Khan..........

[Dunky McCafferty]

....mentioning Harrison with Audrey is just silly. If Harrison returns he could surely still be a force at world level.

Damn sitter my good man, Scotty wont be back. Take it from me me. The quicker people get used to him being retired the better.
I know its a wonderful feeling to think of Harrison coming back all the stronger for his troubles, but hes too far gone, & the BBBC will never & I mean NEVER grant him his license back.

Its always nice to dream, but even I stopped dreaming of a Scotty comeback a loooong time ago. Everyone else should now do too.

Its only his haters who will continually make threads about him now, for reasons of their own. Thats the way it goes here there & everywhere else. Scotty seems to bring out the unbritishness in Brits, if you know what I mean;)

[crespo21]

the guy is a cunt full stop. he could have been good if he wasnt sniffing coke getting pissed hanging out with hookers and genneraly being a class a twat.
gets no sympathy from me.
i say fuck off and go back to starting bar brawls.
he is pretty good at that.

He messed up what could have been a career with some bg fights in America, Prime Harrison would have went to war with MAB, EM, PAC & INJIN CHI, JMM would have been all wrong for him though

Anyone know where i can get a copy of his fight with Wayne McCulloch, his best performance for me, his peak fight before the drink/drug problems took over, not that we knew at the time.

[Raashid]

Any thoughts on how he would have fared against a prime Naz? I remember ****** saying he think the two of them in their primes, Harrison wins.

[crespo21]

and ****** also said kahn was a world beater. pinch of salt springs to mind.

[PaddyD1983]

Gutted with what happened to Harrison over the years. A great boxer to watch and I had genuine hopes that he would be world class! I'd love to see him back in the ring but cant see it happening. Just hope he manages to get back on track and stay out of trouble going forward. He'd still have a lot to give to the sport in the capacity of a trainer or something.

Try Superstars of boxing.co.uk they have most fights & good copys at a fiver a go

[Cobbler]

Keeping a violent alcoholic in prison for four months and then letting him out on New Years Eve seems to be somewhat asking for trouble imo....

Haha i thought that doesnt seem to make sense. haha

but can you imagine what he would have been like inside on the ilegal hooch, It was self preservation on behalf of the screws

[zico2010]

Ive heard plenty of stories about Scott Harrison - some about how much trouble he caused when he was drinking and some about the good he did when he wasnt. The time i met him he seemed like a nice guy. My dad had him in his taxi and he said the same. I really hope he can get his problems sorted out and hopefully get back in the ring. You could see on the documentary that the hope to get back to boxing is the only thing that keeps him going. Good luck Scott. :good

[irishhitman]

theres talk scott is going to train in breens gym in belfast

[Thomasl19]

Wont be long before he is back in jail for beating up a cop or doing sumert stupid.

[IrishPetey]

I feel he shoudlnt be given another chance,one of the best british boxers not so long ago and still young enough to get there again maybe with his girlfriend now pregnant he will use that as a good enough reason to stay of the drink and get his career back on track.

I was at the McCulloch fight, and that was a brilliant performance, and brutal hiding!
I think INjinChi would have been all RIGHT for Scott, I dontthink any1 at 126 beats Harrison in a war of strength, and thats exactly what that fight would have become.
I do think Barrera, Morales, Pac, JMM and Guzman would have battered Scott.

[Cobra33]

He serveed his time and paid for his mistakes.He deserves the chance at making a living for himself and his family.Tyson got his back after being charged with rape and biting an opponents ear.What has Harrison done that even apporaches that?

[billy nelson]

i was scotts assistant trainer his full career,let me tell the people with very small minds,scott harrison is a magnificent fighter how anyone can say otherwise amazes me.even now if scott can make the weight he beat nicky cook.

Don't read too much into the many small minded people on here Billy. There are some who know the score its just hard to find them sometimes :good

[widdy]

he is a good fighter,i don't rate cook that much,(although good enough to beat arthur,as we know)and harrison would have beat him,gotta admit,he was fookin good in the 2nd fight against medina that night.
but he did seem to be a very angry young man with a full bag of mcains on his shoulder.

[johnp]

harrison would beat cook if they fought tomorrow!!!

[stevieb]

dunky, whats with all this "anti-scottish moron brigade" pish?, is it really so hard to believe that some people dont rate harrison (or arthur)?, ive read a couple of your posts and i know sometimes the truth hurts mate! but you need to wake up and face the real world! i read your post about the arthur-cook fight, you cant honestly believe that it was an english conspiricy to give the fight to cook? do you know the rules of boxing?
please tell me if you are serious or not? you are either a wind up artist with too much time on your hands or a deluded moron!!!
anyway i hope scot sorts hiself out and gets his lisence back! but some people (including scot) need to lose the conspiricy theory!!

[bigG]

i was scotts assistant trainer his full career,let me tell the people with very small minds,scott harrison is a magnificent fighter how anyone can say otherwise amazes me.even now if scott can make the weight he beat nicky cook.

if you are still in touch with him, give him all the best from all the real boxing fans on here..i hope he sorts his life out and attains some sort of long term happiness, in, or out, of boxing..the guy was a monster at that weight and how some people can continually put his achievemnts / performances down is beyond me...

[theboy_racer]

Harrison at his best would have annihilated Cook

[billy nelson]

reilly thanks very much mate,ricky is looking healthy and strong in the gym and he is so up for micheal gomez.

[billy nelson]

i really dont see were the argument is over scott and audley!scott achieved and audley never in the ring.apart from joe and ricky scott has been BRITAINS most sucsessful boxer in the last 10 years with the amount of defences he made.come on guys credit were credit is due

If it really is you Billy, then welcome to the forum:good

I think we will get on.

Just tell me one thing Billy, you arent jeff Thomas in disguise, are you? Sorry to ask, but I have to be sure.

[smjm1]

Scott Harrison should be at least given one more chance hopefully he will get his license back and if he does something stupid again then there would be a case to completely ban him but at least give him another chance.

[MIK1000]

Scott would've stopped Cook within 6 rounds. Say what you like about him but he was the most exciting fighter in Britain at the time, an absolute joy to watch every time out. I went to see him three times against Kebebe, Polo and Hussein and every time i loved it appart from maybe his 59 seconds stoppage of Kebebe. Hatton wasn't as exciting as Scott , neither was Joe at the time.

[GPater11093]

harrsion was an animal in his prime

Dunky... If you really want me to tell you who my alias is I will do. I mainly use it to discuss religion and stuff like that... you know the type of thing that might get you blown up.

Hey hey hey, why no smilies jeff?:?

I hope you arent taking my big bad scottish ass seriously!

Im just having a laugh, seen you gloating that no-one knew who your alias was, & just thought I would put you on the back foot for a bit;)

I have a devious mind you see... but not a vindictive one. I was just bullshitting about people e-mailing me & shit, Im a friendless bastard on brit ESB, through choice of course:D

keep your aliases to yourself, I dont wanna know. In fact, I would be shocked if at least 50% of posters in here I argue with arent other posters aliases. Its the law of the jungle!
To be brutally honest, I dont care if people use aliases. Why? For no reason in particular, each to their own. As long as they are conversing with me & taking my points on board, I dont mind, not one bit.

So calm down Jeffro, you know your boy Dunk loves ya really:smoke

[p.Townend]

I hope he gets sorted out and regains his licence.He is a hard fighter and good to watch i hope he has a few good nights before he hangs the gloves up.
