    Anybody else like watching his bouts?Nice defense and pretty good combination puncher.Almost beat Roger Mayweather for the title in a great bout.Brazier was a real pro and fought alot on ESPN.

    Yeah he was a favorite of mine. A good, honest fighter. You knew you were getting a great effort when he stepped in the ring. I particularly remember his fights with Mickey Ward, Robin Blake, Keving Pompey and John Meekins.

    yes he really boxed Meekins ears off and at the time Meekins was a touted prospect.

    Harold was a genuinely tough man. He's had a tremendous career for a guy that trained himself.

    Very good fighter and one of my favorites growing up. Never won a world title, but certainly could have been a champion with a different career path. Fought loads of times on ESPN, and I even saw him once around 1992 live in Chicago..
