    I think Burns would win if the fight was made for June. Simply because he is at his peak, has become a well-rounded and mature operator.

    Mitchell is a lot more talented, but also has many more flaws and is an immature fighter to me.

    Mitchell with the correct guidance should become a better fighter.

    Man, I missed this post at the time.

    As for the quotes thing, I forgot how to do that ****. Not sure if I even knew how to do it in the first place:lol:
    Right Gaz... Sorry for the long break.

    Harrisons best win IMO? Probably his win over McCullough. That was a prime beast of a man, laying out serious stick to a guy many thought would have beaten him.

    I answered your question, take it from there if you care to. If you dont, I understand, cos I was guilty of missing the original post of yours... my apologies for the answer coming in the late post.

    If Prime Harrison tried to hunt down Prime Naz he'd be stepping right into Hamed's trap, and would be sparked in less than five rounds, and I rate Harrison.

    Past-Naz

    Present-Mitchell

    What trap would that be? the corkscrew uppercut?:lol: Naz was a good wee fighter, but a media hypejob blown out of all proportion.

    Naz picked up more belts than Scotty, but who did he beat to suggest he would KO prime Scott Harrison in inside 6?

    IMO, cos Naz was like a Sheffield Ali in the way he could talk down his opponents & charm the media & fans, people think hes better than he was because the lad had bags of charisma.
    prime 4 prime, Harrison would have been too big, too strong, too relentless, & naz would have lost. How could a man of hize size keep a hairy beast like Harrison off him? No wonder Naz knocked back the chance to fight a young brooding menacing Scotty.

    Naz was known (and there is footage) of sparring with Heavyweights (and Ingle famously stopped head sparring at Wincobank after Naz sparked Johnny Nelson) so I think Naz would have no trouble.

    That corkscrew uppercut you talk about is one of the best examples of it in boxing, so I wouldn't mouth off about it. Naz could bang with either fist from any angle, and whilst I rate Harrison's strength and durability, this would mean nothing against one of the hardest hitters P4P of all time (in many people's opinion).

    Who did Naz beat to suggest he would beat Harrison? Well, he made better work of a mutual opponent (who no doubt was in better nick when he fought Naz) Manuel Medine.

    Kevin Kelley was durable and experienced, and fighting in his hometown.

    Vuyani Bungu was a former SBW champion.

    Tom 'Boom Boom' Johnson was solid but unspectacular, but the long-reigning IBF champ when Naz demolished him.

    Paul Ingle was a top-level domestic fighter.

    Now, personally I think Harrison would've given Naz a much tougher fight than any of these, whilst it lasts. Which, given the fire of both men and the massive firepower of one of the would not be lon.

    If it's any consolation, Harrison would outpoint the Naz that sleepwalked past Calvo.

    no probs Fleaman.
    You make a good case for naz, & I respect that.

    Of course, we will never know who would have won, but even I admit that prime 4 prime the bookies would back Naz. Cos at the end of the day, naz scored the more spectacular wins on his record, like you say.

    I got no problem with that. Harrison was my all time favourite fighter, & I feel a thread coming on about him, & what he meant to Scotland & I. This Harrison thing runs deep with me.
    Thanks for keeping the argument civil & not replying to my post with lots of stupid smilies, like some of the more ignorant posters here. It wont be forgotten.
    As you can guess, Im a wee bit over emotional again about Scotty, as any hopes of a comeback have been crushed along with hith his prison sentence.
    I got so much to say on the subject... & I am a very sad & deflated man at this moment in time.
