Harris chooses Cotto over Hatton!

[Silverfox]

WBA super lightweight king "Vicious" Vivian Harris will be in Las Vegas this weekend to personally see Miguel Cotto defend his WBO belt against Randall Bailey. Cotto, at one time, was Vivian's mandatory challenger but reliniquised his position to fight for the WBO belt instead. "I will be ringside to see Cotto and let him know I will give him a shot at the title, even if he's no longer the #1 contender" stated Harris, "I was planning on going to England to watch Hatton, but I decided to come to Vegas for Cotto instead. It was a tough choice, because I am willing to give either one of them a shot at my belt in 2005 and thats why I am going to the fights, to let them personally know, to look them in the eyes and say lets get it on, just as I did to Kostya Tszyu last month". Harris confronted Tszyu on Showtime TV in hopes of getting the Australian dynamo into the ring. "2005 will be a huge year for boxing, if either Hatton, Cotto, Tszyu or Mayweather step it up and sign to fight me. I want them all, in any order but lets get it started."

I think that Ricky Hatton is a great fighter. But, he is really tailor made for Cotto. With his come on slugging style, he'll be cut down by Cotto within 6 rounds. Watch Cotto in the Bailey fight. He has a fantastic defense.
At this stage, at 140lbs, I don't know of anyone who will beat him. That includes Kostya!

this is good news, my opinion of harris went up when he fought urkal twice in germany. not many would go there once, but he went twice. now he's saying he'll give cotto a shot without cotto calling him out or being his no1. good luck to him, you could hardly see hatton or warren doing this, could you?

Yeah it's not like Hatton has called out Harris, Pinto and Tszyu in the last 12 months and two of that three blatantly ducked him.

Urkal cant punch so its a no risk fight, beating him once was enough but twice was silly!!

I rate Harris, i'd like to see him in with a world class opponent but i doubt anyone will meet that silly price tag he puts on himself!!

If you dont have any fans and your promoters dont like you its time to take the short money and prove your worth!!
