Scott Harrison faces 6 years in jail!

[JonnyBGoode]

Lets be honest he's coming back for financial reasons, he's not exactly got much on his CV other than boxing and jail so there's not going to be too many opportunities out there for him so he's obviously going for a last few pay days. If he was truly motivated by wanting to achieve he would be off the booze and working hard. Alcoholism is a disease but at the same time it's a disease that many have beaten and it's entirely in his hands so I don't have much sympathy for him.

The harrison stories have been going on to long now for me to think he can get back into boxing...he's another Gazza but nasty with it.

I predicted Pavlik had been through too much to come back and was right, how could Harrison come back having been out longer with more serious issues?
You're right mate, it's hard to sympathise when the guy is troubled AND nasty.

The difference between Pavlik and Harrison is probably that in America you can have 3 pints every day after work and be considered an alcoholic but in Scotland you can probably do a bottle of scotch a day and just be someone that "likes a drink" I would say!

yep and If they did do a Burns v Harrison fight, not only would it be a farce of a fight it wold just feed Harrison with some more cash to go booze and beat people up!

Wrong on both counts!
