    Interesting poll at Showtime's website

    The question is "Who could beat Kostya Tszyu if they fought today?"

    The leader of the poll is 'No one could beat Tszyu' at 33% - no surprise there.

    But then it gets interesting - 28% Vivian Harris; 23% Floyd Mayweather; 9% Arturo Gatti; 7% Ricky Hatton

    Either a bunch of people thought Tszyu looked scared of Harris when he entered the ring after the Mitchell fight, or Harris's people hacked into the website, or there is an effort to pump up a potential fight because Showtime's pulling for Tszyu-Harris.

      I say Tszyu could take Harris.
      As for the reasoning behind the vote,I believe it was the camera angle. Although, Harris is taller the angle of the camera made it look like Harris was towering over Tszyu.

      Thats my guess.

        Guys.....Harris got dropped by Ivan Robinson. Tszyu will murder him.

          Am I the only guy that feels Harris could upset KT? Styles make fights....I think Harris has the right combination of speed and power to do it, particularly handspeed. That and he is tall...KT likes to angle his punches down.

          I think Harris is a real live underdog if they were to fight. This is the fight I would like to see. Even more than Mayweather.

            Personally, Tszyu owns that division...with only 1 loss on his record and even after a 2 year layoff, he has proven time and again that he can win...

              For some reason Hatton stands out as the guy I would like to see Kostya take on, it seems like an exellent style matchup. As for the poll, it does seem odd that Harris the least knowen of the four has that kind of lead.

                    I agree. My initial reaction when I saw the two of them together was shock. I was like, "Harris is ****in huge!" And then I remembered the Hurtado fight and realized he couldn't be as big as he looked.
