    I might also add Harrison is overrated in some quarters. He was a solid fighter, world class but would have been handled by more talented foes.

    Harrison for me

    He was such a big featherweight. Strange career but he was world class no doubting that. Shame he messed it all up.

    We just answered it ;) Burns has not progressed from the domestic scene yet and Harrison won world titles - you just cannot compare the two of them yet.

    Let me answer it for you, Harrison, but Burns may get better so need to wait and see. Why dont we ask Billy Nelson, he was about when Scott was trained by his dad, and obviously now with Burns, would be interesting to see what he says

    I remember watching the first fight against Medina; he was totally outclassed that night.


    Harrison was very solid though, just a bit too one-dimensional. He's the topdog in this particular argument though.

    Burns can be no doubting that...he can show that he has more skills in othe areas that Harrison did not have.....

    Harrison was huge at the weight the same way that Eubank was massive at the weight.....that made so much difference.

    It was a pity that it all fell apart....

    I'll go ahead and say Burns will never be as good or accomplished as Harrison. I'm sure Billy Nelson will disagree, but...

    Why? Because at a world class level he's basically a fighter thats a jack of all trades master of none. He can box pretty good but not anything outstanding. He's pretty strong and tough, but again not outstanding. Whereas Harrison whilst not well rounded was exceptional in his strong areas, in terms of strength, toughness, size, engine, and decent punching.

    I think he may want to sit on the fence to be fair, it is a difficult thing for him to answer as he trains Burns at the minute, so bit unreasonable:!:
