    Harrison is one of the few fighters we had that was a genuine world class fighter. Sure, he might have lost to MAB and co but he he'd always be a contender on that level. He is like the rich man's version of Cook, Arthur and maybe even Mitchell.

    I loved Ingle he was so good... His head movement was superb. They don't make them like that anymore.

    Yeah. I felt bad for McMillan in that fight he took a vicious hiding, but fair do's, the man went out on his shield.

    Has anyone seen the "On the ropes" domumentary that's banging around on youtube?

    It's worth a watch if not. Such a waste of talent. Sometimes people are just born to let controversy follow them around.

    Was a massive fan of Scotts, gutted at how his career ended up. He was a monster at the weight, very strong. Shame how it all turned out like I say.

    The Yorrin robbery is one of the worst decisions in boxing history... it robbed Mikey of some bumper paydays to secure him and his family..

    Harrison was massive at the weight.. just like Eubank was massive at 12st...

    A great shame...:-(

    Yorrin fight was a ****ing joke !!!!!

    That was a blodoy good fight. Wehbee was Australian wasnt he? Harrison did a number on him. I remember when he won the WBO aswell against that Argentinian. I wanted to be Scottish that night and sing flower of Scotland as loud as i could. The atomosphere was electric.
