Scott Harrison Opponent named today

[SuckaPunch]

Thanks for that.
And for your previous post, fair enuff I hear what your saying and I ain't a big Harrison defender but it's the notion of if people haven't heard/saw a certain fighter in action then he's labelled as **** that I don't care for. I'd like to see him fighting the elite in the division as they would be action packed while they lasted(not all of them winnable, Chi I would favour Scott to beat but the rest would paste him imo) Joan Guzman is his mandatory and the match is being mooted for early next year (If he gets past Hussein of course!)so would Guzman be a satisfactory opponent for you even though he's not elite?

Joan Guzman is more than just a satisfactory opponent for Scott IMO. But you have to remember that not all fans are hardcore boxing fans. If an average fan has never heard of his opponent before, then they'll probably think the opponent is ****.

Think of it as if you're watching a sport that you're not very familiar with and how would you go into judging the matchups.

so hussien's only losses came against pac and larios, which means he's a 122lb fighter moving up to fight the strongest guy in the division. don't see this going long. naz used to do the same thing, trying to look good against smaller men.

I tell you what mate it's good to have a discussion with a Pac fan without all the ******ness, u make some good points
Morales & Pacquiao are fighting so they're off limits until the middle of next year probably and the Marquez fight is the worst possible style match for Scott imo so I doubt his management will go for that, Guzman's a good fight if you ask me but if your talking champions personally i'd go for Chi (As I said I'm not a Harrison defender, I don't care about him being seen as no.1 cos I don't believe it's possible! just as long as he takes the fights if they're offered)

He's been fighting at 130 for a while I think
Pacman moved up from a much lower weight as well and no one would complain about that would they

very true mate, pac made the jump from 122 to 126 very well, i think he's too heavy at 130 though. hussien fought larios last year i think, but even if he's "bedded in" at 126 i still don't see it lasting long. whatever harrison's limitations as a boxer, he's as strong as a bull at the weight.
