    Harris last opponent is better than any of Hatton's opponents. I think his name is Oktay Urkal. He went the distance with KT. Harris KO'ed him late in their 2nd fight. Also Harris only lost to Oliveria. Hatton beats up on him when the guy is clearly not the same fighter he was from 3 or 4 years ago.
    Urkal is durable at best, i mean no disrespect to the guy but he's not exactly brilliant.

    I know Magee is better than him because they fought, if the Germans werent such bad losers the would have scored the fight correctly.

    IMO Tackie and Phillips are better than Urkal too, thats personal opinion but their definitly no worst than Urkal.

    My point is that Harris's record is no better than Hattons, so the draw fighter(Hatton) should get more money for the fight. I admit that Tszyu should earn a lot more than Hatton if they fight but he's a genuine world champ who's proved his worth many times.

      You saying that Tackie & Philips are better than Urkal? Two guys who taken some bad beatings & are way out of there prime better than him. No. Urkal is fresher & would beat the both of them now because both of those fighters are not that good anymore.

        Urkal is a durable fighter with average skills and no punch, i dont like putting people in to category but i cant think of a single German who can punch and doesnt need the judges to win fights for them.

        There all still fighting and its possible i can prove you wrong in the future

          I know i've seen a clip of Hurtardo and he didnt look good, maybe it was a bad clip but his record doesnt suggest he was ever a great fighter.

          Anyone got a hurtardo fight i can see??

            Tiger wasn't bad. He was a wicked fighter once upon a time.

            The krauts do tend to suck thine c*ck a bit. Tiger was A-OK with me though

            To prove your point, who exactly has Urkal 'beaten' of any note to be considered on par with the likes of Phillips, Tackie and Oliveira (albeit, past their primes)?

              Hurtado was a legend as an amateur. I've got a few of his fights on tape, the most memorable being the Tszyu and Sweetpea tear-ups. He lost both but went out on his shield.

              It's kind of debatable whether or not Harris beat him in his prime though, Hurtado's loss to Harris is comparable to Hatton's win over Phillips, although Phillips wasn't half the fighter Hurtado was.

                  Are you serious Jose??

                  Harris is a ******* who doesnt deserve a world title yet, just admit it and we get off this topic.

                    Harris has a great reputation in the boxing world, the same cannot be said for Frank Warren and Ricky Hatton. Warren is shamelessy protecting Hatton trying to **** with Harris and even demaning Tszyu come come Manchester to fight Hatton.

                    Hatton needs to grow a pair of balls, stop being a ***** and fight outside of Europe. Just the thought that an un proven protected fighter with nearly 40 pro fights could think they could dictate terms to fighters like Tszyu and Harris just shows how dilusional they are.

                      I hear what you're saying, but you cant name Urkal as a fighter on par with Tackie, Oliveira or Phillips without telling me who he beat? who'd he actually beat?
