Comments Thread For: Scott Harrison Could Possibly Land Burns-Mitchell Winner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Frank Warren has given Scott Harrison genuine hope that he could return to world title action by fighting the winner of Saturday's contest between Ricky Burns and Kevin Mitchell.

Former world champion Harrison will box on the undercard of the WBO lightweight title fight in Glasgow in only his second bout in almost seven years.

The 34-year-old spent time in a Spanish jail for assault after his career was thrown off course amid personal and alcohol problems.

The Scot gave up his WBO featherweight title in 2006 after failing to make the weight for a defence and fought a long battle to regain his licence, before returning to the ring in June with a fourth-round stoppage against Hungarian teenager Gyorgy Mizsei Jr. [Click Here To Read More]

Harrison doesn't deserve a shot at the winner. He's done nothing at lightweight and has been inside for years until recently.

I agree, why should Harrison leapfrog everyone else at LW to get a shot he doesn't deserve.

He needs to prove himself at domestic level, then European, then work his way up to a shot at the belt like anyone else. And all of that is presuming he will stay out of trouble and not hit self destruct, which is highly unlikely considering his previous form.

Whoever wins, Harrison loses.



I can't see him fighting the winner more likely the loser and even then, he'll be despatched of comfortably.

P!ss off.

He's done nothing to deserve a fight for the British title let alone a world title.

Sounds like a typical Warren match up!
