My boy Vicious Vivian Harris is fighting on the mayweather-gatti undercard, his fighting Arturo Morua of Guadalajara, Mexico

His record is 21-6-1

sort of a bum, but it's the smartest thing for Vivian Harris to do...If anyone critisizes him for fighting this guy, then u wrong...Vivian Harris gettin ducked by EVERYBODY...Mayweather could've fought him instead of fighting Bruseles, Mayweather acts like he only wants big fights then he goes and fights Bruseles. Then ***** ass Cotto ducked him like 3 times, and still is, that's why his fighting that bum Abd.. something...

It ain't Cottos fault though, it's ****** Arums fault..
All Harris has to do is fight then ppl will come to him, and he will get the big fights..

I like Harris too but Floyd wasnt ducking him. If Floyd fought him then he wouldve lost his #1 ranking in the WBC for the big money PPV fight with Gatti. Cotto is ducking him though

floyd would eat harris up but he could give cotto problems

PROBLEM FOR HARRIS IS HE IS TOO MUCH RISK FOR TOO LITTLE REA
WARD.

tho he should have taken the hatton fight when he had the chance (though it it wasnt harris, but steward who pulled him.)

that was a ****** move take the 750 k and fight the draw in his own back yard, if you are as good as you say it shouldnt matter where you fight.

instead he fought away form home against urkal for a fraction of the purse he would have got and is now frozen out.

dumb move.

Mayweather was on the Canadian boxing show In This Corner this week and was just brutal to Harris. He was saying "Who is this guy? He was in a rap video but I don't know who he is". Vicious...

I'd really like to see Harris get his shot. It was smart of Steward to parade him on camera after Tszyu - Mitchell 2, though it doesn't seem to have helped any. The problem is, like people say, that Cotto is ducking him. Cotto is the right level of fighter for him right now because if he beat him he would be a big enough name that he would generate enough interest for the titleholders to take a shot at him. As long as Cotto keeps ducking him he's stuck in no man's land.

Abdullaev is no bum. He didn't really lose to Clottey, just stayed down for a ten count due to a language miscommunication between Abdullaev and the ref. He wasn't that hurt at all. Sat there looking up at the ref because he started to get up, but his corner told him to take a knee.

I'm telling you, that'll be a fight worth watching. There's no shame in Cotto fighting Abdullaev instead of Harris.

Floyd isn't scared of Harris. He just has bigger fish to fry.

Harris has done what? He beat Urkal and Hurtado. Both are definitely good opponents. Harris is a champion. What he should've done is got his promoters to getting him ranked in another sanctioning body so he could force a mandatory and give others incentive to fight him by offering his WBA belt. He must not be paying sanctioning fees to anybody but the WBA b/c he isn't ranked anywhere else, which I disagree with, but yeah.

Harris and Witter should get it on in England. Witter is a big enough draw for a decent card there. That should be on the undercard of Hatton vs. Tszyu. Good promotion for a future possible (and likely) matchup.

As, I recall Harris refused to fight Hatton although, the was slated make the most money he has ever made in a fight. How do you explain that?

manny steward was brought on board and in his own words albeit retrospectively "didnt fancy harris chances", so advised harris to pull the fight.

I remember that! Steward wanted no business with Hatton!

I wouldn't doubt it. Harris pulled a similar stunt with Judah. He called Judah out on Hot 97 in New York. Judah showed up at the studio saying Harris hadn't fought anybody...and Harris was saying bs about how he beat Hurtado.

Judah laughed and replied "I beat that ***** in the gym!" Judah signed a contract to fight Harris but Harris never signed. Never even really tried to work out a deal.
