    Just to state, my prediction would be Harrison. Even now Scott has a chance in what would be an excellent fight. Scotts a warrior and would fight till he's out cold. My favourite fighter back then and even now. I like both fighters, and have tremendous admiration and respect for ricky and billy. But harrison aswas something else.

    Scott if your reading, get yourself on and have your say, it would be appreciated by the fans. a lot of shite talking going on at the minute but I think billys been taken the wrong way to be fair. Still, shite talking aside ould be a great fight with lots of interest. Get it made.

    I know your a big Harrison fan which is fair enough but no he doesn't have a chance just now, Burns lost to Beltran and Crawford, 2 world level operators, Harrison lost to Liam Walsh last time out, it's a poor fight which would designed to make a bit of money for Burns and Harrison that is it.

    If Hearn is talking about Ricky dropping down to domestic level next and if Scott gets his licence back then that fight would be massive Billy.
    Lets be honest the Harrison fight would be bigger than the Crolla fight.
    Anthony Crolla is not even the best in Britain let alone a name in Scotland and nobody is interested in that fight.
    Harrison is the best fight for Ricky at domestic level.

    In terms of what ? A payday for both fighters ? then yes but in terms of current boxing ability he really isn't. You make a point that Crolla isn't the best in Britaon while pushing a Harrison fight, a guy who has done nothing in more than 8 years, it's a total money making fight that's it.

    boxings a business, theres demand for this fight, it should happen. I believe it will happen and I look forward to reading billys excuse after it.

    It would be a competitive fight I think which are always good fights. I think scotts got more left than what people think.,

    If Ricky cant get a world title shot then this is the next biggest fight for him. Burns-Crolla will struggle to sell out the Secc, but Burns-Harrison would fill the Hydro on top of the Secc.
    Boxings a business :deal

    I actually think if Burns fought Crolla there's a chance it would be down south.

    I agree, it'd do better in manchester at the moment after burns recent performances. The mancs would feel there is chance of an upset and would come out in droves for this. Crolla would be beaten though.

    I don't think the fight will happen, because it's a lose lose fight for burns, even if he wins people will say its because harrison is past it. I hope it happens more than I've hoped for any fight , that includes mayweather, pacman but I don't think burns will fancy it. For the record I think harrison would just sneak it, if it did happen. Billy's excuses would funny. Ricky's over trained is a good one, well you ****in train him, dae it right for **** sake.

    I agree it would have been a good fight a few years ago,but in reality Ryan, Scott isnt in the UK'S TOP 10 lw at present got comprehensively beat by Walsh so in no way will the fight happen.Yes i agree it would sell out the Hydro or SECC but without sounding glum the fight wont happen, i hope Scott gets his licence back and if he fights on i do wish him well, a friend sent me his post on twitter saying hed fight Ricky any day of the week to see whos the best in Scotland in real terms hed be beat everyday of the week by the better fighter/Athlete
    Listen Scott was a great fighter but his best days have gone it happens to the very best including Scott

    I can just see it now.

    Billys scared of taking the fight, if burns lost it would spell the end for him,
    mind you his careers pretty much already at an end based on his last few performances.
