Harris had this to say about fighting Mayweather in the future: "If he doesn't step in the ring with me, I'll rip his balls off and shove 'em up his ass, so the next time he ****s, he'll **** all over his balls."

Floyd is God...Vivian Harris doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath

hmm

No way. God TKO's Mayweather in 8. Easy.

As was mentioned on the other Vivian Harris thread by someone...

I agree... Harris will probably just stink out the joint W - UD.

And after the fight we'll get the whole, "I'm the BEST LIGHT-WELTERWEIGHT IN THE WORLD!!!!".

He pulled out of the Ricky Hatton fight when he had Ł750,000 ($1.2 million US) on the table because he learnt that Hatton would be earning Ł1.5 million ($2.8 million US)... And he felt diss-respected as the WBA champion.

Only 6 months later i saw him on east-side-boxing saying he'd fight Miguel Cotto for $50,000 US

Either that tells you something about how dangerous he thinks Hatton is, or he's a terrible businessman.

I know what you're saying fella, but they held open negotiations on http://www.frankwarren.tv And Vivian Harris was quite open about why he pulled out of the fight on http://www.**********.net.

hmm

Why should Vivian be the one to bend over and let Frankie ef him in the ass? Does that make it clear for you? Why should the champ Vivian take less money to fight Hatton, fight Hatton on his own soil, and agree to terms put forth by the British Don King...Frank Warren.

Frank Warren should be less concerned about running the show and more concerned about making fights happen.

Harris isn`t an exciting fighter. He is good and people don`t want to fight him so in this position you have no business turning down any fight if you trully believe you can win it.
If Harris took a ridiculously low purse and fought and defeated Miguel Cotto then he could have commanded like at least 50% of any purse for future opponents ( namely Mayweather, Hatton, Tsyzu etc..)
However his unwarrented ego refuses to fight cheap and prove it. This leads us to believe the cold hard truth. Harris is blowing smoke in order to save face and would only fight a top guy if the danger money was enough for him to retire on should he lose.
This is not a 100% conifident fighter and being that he`s never beat anyone of much credit at world level i doubt he`d be able to beat them with this attitude.

I used to think Vivian Harris was a cool fighter after he ripped the title from the Cuban fighter Hurtado. Now I sent him an e-mail from England saying that I rate him as a fighter do you know he never ever sent a reply back. That is the first thing

Harris claims everybody is ducking but when offered fights turns them down because of the money. I hate to say this but he has a real ****** mentality and is only think "gonna get a million for fighting mayweather, Hatton, Cotto.

If he is so good why fight a beaten up cotto Victim as your first fight HBO PPV when u he could have fought Junior Witter or a known fighter he is a joke he might surprised me one day, but I have seen too many bad mistakes for this fighter to beat any of the so called champs namely having manny steward as Manager what has he done for him, got him sponsorship,big paydays nothing hell he evens commentates on HBO. Vivian Harris is a fool and I will laugh if he gets knocked out by Maussa which is possible. Anybody ever see Harris fight with a guy called Joe Luis juraez if not check it out and you will see what I am talking about.

Don't be fooled he is no Winky Wright

hmm

I'm not sure what to make of Vivian at time. He's good but somewhat defensive I guess. In any case, my only point is Frank Warren is equally moronic.
