    Vivian Harris has some serious credentials

    I've just been looking over his ledger, check this. Of course, we all were introduced to him when he won the vacant WBA title when he blew out Hurtado in the second on Showtime, but he's been the real deal for a minute. He holds a win over Soulemayne M'Baye, who is the WBA champ now I believe at 140. Also, he has a W over Gary St. Clair, the exiled 130 pound titlist from Australia. He went over to Germany to KO Oktay Urkal and his only really egregiously bad night was the Maussa fight. I think that people are seriously overlooking this guy and he has to be a serious favorite over Lazcano, who looked everything the shot fighter in his last fight on Boxeo De Oro.

    I think Harris beats Junior Witter, I think he beats Kendall Holt, and I think he beats Juan Urango. Ricky Hatton, Diego Corrales, and Jose Luis Castillo, he'd be there all night with those guys.

      Frank Warren pulled Hatton out of the bout.

        He got knocked out by Carlos Maussa, a guy that got destroyed by Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, and a bum named Manuel Garnica...

          I have always said that Harris is the best guy at 140 and would beat Hatton & Cotto there if they wouldve fought him

            Harris isn't in the same league as Hatton. Its very unlikely he'd be able to beat Hatton, he probably wouldn't even go the distance. He could beat Corrales I guess.. I agree about Urango and Lazcano. Never seen Holt.

            He could beat Witter but it would be close and Witter likes playing games in the boxing ring, could well get to Harris..

              There are a few interviews where Harris turned down 750k to fight Hatton in Manchester saying he felt disrespected by the offer...

                Be real now. Thats like saying that Vince Phillips can beat everyone because he beat Tszyu. No one thinks Mouse is better then Harris and everyone saw that Harris was killing him but just came out to fast looking for a KO and then ran completely out of gas.

                One thing has nothing to do with the other.

                  Nah Harris pulled out. Hatton would have had no reason to not fight Harris as he'd most likely KO Vivian.

                    How is that running? Harris was the champ and Hatton was making millions over there. Harris already agreed to fight him in Manchester and all your going to give him is scraps when he knows the fight would make a ton of money? He's not ****** and you act like its just him. If thats the case then Hatton is running scared of Floyd for asking for a rediculus amount of money
