[THE KNUCKLE]

LOVED SCOTT HARRISON,1 FIGHT AWAY FROM VEGAS AND COMPANY AND WENT HELLBENT ON DESTROYING HIMSELF INSTEAD OF OTHERS,BUT SCOTLAND MAYBE HAVE A NEW HEIR TO THE THRONE IN THE SLICKSTER RICKY BURNS I RECKON,,AM I RIGHT OR WRONG...:bbb:bbb

[TFFP]

Harrison was better.

[kosaros]

Harrison, and at this stage, by some distance.

[TFFP]

I might also add Harrison is overrated in some quarters. He was a solid fighter, world class but would have been handled by more talented foes.

[punchdrunkgench]

no disrespect to burns but harrison by quiet a way

[Mandanda]

Harrison for me

He was such a big featherweight. Strange career but he was world class no doubting that. Shame he messed it all up.

[THE KNUCKLE]

Willie limond is prob the only man who could answer the question right now

We just answered it ;) Burns has not progressed from the domestic scene yet and Harrison won world titles - you just cannot compare the two of them yet.

[Top Dog]

Let me answer it for you, Harrison, but Burns may get better so need to wait and see. Why dont we ask Billy Nelson, he was about when Scott was trained by his dad, and obviously now with Burns, would be interesting to see what he says

I remember watching the first fight against Medina; he was totally outclassed that night.


Harrison was very solid though, just a bit too one-dimensional. He's the topdog in this particular argument though.

[NO MAS]

Burns can be no doubting that...he can show that he has more skills in othe areas that Harrison did not have.....

Harrison was huge at the weight the same way that Eubank was massive at the weight.....that made so much difference.

It was a pity that it all fell apart....

[TFFP]

I'll go ahead and say Burns will never be as good or accomplished as Harrison. I'm sure Billy Nelson will disagree, but...

Why? Because at a world class level he's basically a fighter thats a jack of all trades master of none. He can box pretty good but not anything outstanding. He's pretty strong and tough, but again not outstanding. Whereas Harrison whilst not well rounded was exceptional in his strong areas, in terms of strength, toughness, size, engine, and decent punching.

[Decy]

Expect some Scotty love from Dunky anytime soon.

DONT WORRY,HE WILL REPLY SOON
:good

[Top Dog]

DONT WORRY,HE WILL REPLY SOON
:good

I think he may want to sit on the fence to be fair, it is a difficult thing for him to answer as he trains Burns at the minute, so bit unreasonable:!:

The first fight against Medina was just an off night for Harrison he did more or less club Medina into submission in the rematch.

Totally right mate, the second fight was more the real Mccoy

[Rangersfan1982]

No surprise the way harrison went, very common with that lot.

[Dunky McCafferty]

Fuxake, we got topdog, topdog88 & you have topdog under your username? WTF:huh

Everyones Topdog on here nowadays!

Will the real Topdog please stand up?

Hahaha you serious Scott Harrison would of destroyed Ricky Burns, Burns is average.

[Dunky McCafferty]

If, & ONLY if Ricky Burns wins the world title then does this become a live debate.
Until then though, everyone just keep their feet on the ground here.

Ricky has to win the title first, lets not get ahead of ourselves. Im sure Billy Nelson will be keeping Burns feet firmly on the ground, so now is not the time to get carried away with Burns v Harrison arguments.

[China_hand_Joe]

Harrison was.

[BodyBlaster]

Harrison, and at this stage, by some distance.

Totally agree. Burns is a good fighter, Harrison was a beast at his weight.

[Top Dog]

Fuxake, we got topdog, topdog88 & you have topdog under your username? WTF:huh

Ho Dunky, you KNOW there is only one Top Dog, and that's me, all others are poor imitations of the real thing, man I must be popular right enough, everyone wants to be me:hey Get a life boys, you cant touch this

[Tony Bellew]

Don't think this is fair just yet as Ricky ain't nowere near finishing and your talking about 1 of Scotlands greatest ever fighters.. I rated Harrison!! He's the biggest feartherweight I've ever seen in my whole life!! I've heard the legendary stories about how he made weight too!!:shock:

[Dan684]

Thats nothing. Greg Haugen made weight for the Nave fight by taking speed and trained for Chavez on vodka and coke(Not the drink coke either)

I would love to have a beer with that fucker :deal

[TheUzi]

Harrison for me. Burns is still improving tho where as Harrison probably couldn't improve anymore.

Harrison,massive heart,brilliant fitness and strong as an ox due to his size at the weight.
A world class boxer would always beat him however.
I've always thought this is one of the reasons he lost his way,he knew his limitations on the World scene.

[skel1983]

Jesus christ I cant actully believe people are comparing the two.

Have people forgot how good Harrison was?? He had 11 world Title fights defended his title 9 times fought and beat some very good fighters, Burns got smashed up by Johanssan and beat soundly by Alex Arthur and has actully beat no one.

I still cant get over the fact these two are being compared, Harrison is the only Scottish boxer two win the world title twice, it's a shame his life got out of hand.

Other way round if anything, he took his career for granted and thought he was better than he was and liked to burn the candles at both ends. His party lifestyle got out of hand a few things happened which effected his life different court cases and the suicide of his uncle. But I think If you asked Scott he would be the first to admit that he took his life and reign for granted.

[girv]

When does Harrison get released?

[billy nelson]

Scott Harrison broke his opponents hearts you could hit him with your bst shot and there would be no reaction facealy or otherwise,Sctt was huge for the weight and imo should have stepped up to SFW after the medina return or even before,Ricky Burns is loaded with skill,very fast hands and is improving all the time,judgement can be made when Ricky wins the world title and defends it several times.

[Top Dog]

Aye fair enough bigman. I'm actually hoping Harrison gets out of jail soon, get himself back into and makes himself some cash, and captures a title, you reckon thats too much to ask??

[billy nelson]

for most people yes,but scott has an exceptional mental strength and if he managed to get his weight down to LW or LWW it could be interesting

[rossd1506]

Cant see Harrison ever returning to the ring when he gets out, best thing for Scott to do would be help his dad in some capacity with the amateurs, if he could show young fighters to train the way he did and fight the way he did and maybe help them avoid the pitfalls he experienced in the latter stages of his career then he may still have a big part to play in the future of Scottish boxing.

As for Burns, i wish him all the best as he seems a genuine top guy but far too early to compare him with Harrison who won and defended the world title, maybe have this debate in a couple of years time and it may be more intresting.

Hopefully.

[skel1983]

Burns will never in a million years get anywehre near what Harrison accomplished.

[Top Dog]

for most people yes,but scott has an exceptional mental strength and if he managed to get his weight down to LW or LWW it could be interesting

Folk laugh but I reckon if any scottish fighter could do it, it would be Harrison:happy Dont you just any underdog story! How about Scott v Arthur, who would win, you must have an idea??

[billy nelson]

i trained both boys at the same time that would have been some fight if scott had moved up in weight when he should have,when alex and scott sparred which wasn't as often a people may have thought they were good competative spars.

[MIK1000]

Am I reading too much into your Username and Avitar or by "that lot" are you referring to who I think you are referring too?

[The taff]

Scott Harrison no doubt. Although i think Ricky Burns is a better technical boxer. If he had more pop in his punches then he could go a lot further than he will.

[RyDogg123]

Disrespectful post tbh... Harrison world class and burns british class... enough said. But Burns might do sumthin

[Dunky McCafferty]

You hit the nail on the head there Mr Nelson.

A fight that springs to mind was when Harrison fought skinny Hussein, Hussein lands one of his trademark bodyshots & you can see he thinks Harrison is gonna drop, Harrison takes it, gives him a steely stare and goes after Hussein, you could almost see in Skinnys body language that he knew the game was up!
& To think that was a Harrison that wasnt even performing to his best, even a Harrison who was going through his troubles was able to eat up anything his opponents hit him with without much trouble.

aah the memories. If only he had got Guzman... Im still sure to this day he would have exposed Guzman, long before Funeka did.
I would love to hear your thoughts on Harrison-Guzman Billy, & what Scotty thought of him:deal

[DON1]

Scott Harrison was a monster. He was a brute in the ring, he could box a bit as well. He would smash Burns to pieces, literally. Actually why are we having this discussion. Harrison and Burns are worlds apart and always will be.

[billy nelson]

your being very disrespectful about the talent rickys got don,scott is the best fighter scotland as ever produced so far including watt and buchanan but do give ricky his chance mate.scott would have slaughtered guzman coz guzman would have stood in front of him and went for it.

[billy nelson]

true mate so give him time
