Listen Scott Harrison is an alcoholic washed up scumbag waster now. Really good fighter back in the day but as a person a total piece of ****, why he has fans defending him is beyond me, the fact that idiots like Ryan still think he'd be relevant were he to make a comeback is comical, Look how Hatton got on when he came back with Scott multiply those effects by about 5. Harrison is going to jail soon anyway and hopefully we never hear of him in boxing again, he's a terrible example for the sport i don't know why anyone gives a **** about seeing him fight again.

Garbage you talk, Scott kept himself in much better shape than Ricky, and Scott had his 10th world title fight the night before Ricky had his first (talking one of 4 main belts).Scott never had career Ricky had arguably because of his behaviour away from ring, but at his best p4p was a much better fighter, hence why he was beat Joe and Ricky to British boxer of year back then. Scott showed when he came back after 6.5 years out he was still in excellent shape

Question for Moog and Ryan, aren't you disgusted that you sit and defend a woman beating scumbag or do you actually believe everyone is out to get Scott and he's never done anything wrong ?

I am a massive fan of Scott Harrison the boxer, don't know the man. I was just a casual boxing fan until I starting following him, and it was his ability in the ring that has made me a mad boxing fanatic. So I have and always will be a fan for that alone

Billy I really think you are being unkind to Scott's opponents!! I like you and your loyalty for Ricky and what you done together but you have to give Scott a bit more credit imo.

Michael Brodie: Nobody knew that Michael Brodie was actually done after the 2 In-jin Chi fights because Scott was the first bout after these wars. Just like nobody could have known Ricky would be on the slide after his bouts with Gonzalez and Ray Beltran

Tracy Patterson: This fight was only his 12th bout mate and Patterson was a very good test at that point of his career wouldn't you agree? Tracy Patterson had boxed at Super Feather and boxed for world titles at that weight and only 2 fights before he boxed Scott he drew with Junior Jones who was a world class fighter at that time. Around the same time of their careers Ricky got a great win over Graham Earl but Earl was domestic level and nowhere near world level.

Tom Johnson: Not a bad fight for your 13th pro fight wouldn't you agree? He might have been on the slide but he wasn't totally done. Anyone with the skills that Tom Johnson had could have gave a relative novice in Scott Harrison their first defeat if Scott wasn't totally prepared. Just look at Ricky with Alex who he fought in his 14th fight, he gave a good account of himself but overall got beat on experience and for all Alex's good points imo he was never world class but around world level.

Wayne McCulloch: Wayne was his first bout after winning the world title from Chacon, he was a very good name and after his defeat to Erik Morrales, Wayne had stopped his first 3 opponents at Featherweight! No one expected Scott to beta Wayne as easy as he did and imo Scott was the one who truly finished Wayne off. Ricky's first defence after beating the very good Rocky Martinez was Andreas Evenson, Evenson is a nice kid but should never have fought for a world title!! You have worked with Evenson and i'm sure you would agree.

William Abelyan: He had a decent record and there has been worse fighters to get a world title shot imo, Joseph Lareya was just as bad a defence considering that he was taken over as an opponent to set up an all Scotland clash against Paul Appleby. Nobody expected Paul to turn up looking like he was getting the win regardless and he paid the price. Even if Paul had won against Joseph he was not worthy of a world title shot and imo Abelyan was more worthy than either of these 2.

Manuel Medina: Medina was an excellent fighter and despite his advancing years was able to win the IBF Super Featherweight title after Scott beat him in the rematch. Imo Ricky has never faced a fighter with the decoration of Manuel Medina, medina was an IBF, WBC and WBO World Featherweight champion and held some of these titles on more than 1 occasion. Now i think Terence Crawford might well end up more decorated than any of ricky's other opponents but at the minute he hasn't proved that so we can see what happens as Crawfords career progresses.

Imo Medina and Chacon are as good as anyone Ricky has faced in Terrance Crawford and Rocky Martinez who imo are the only credible world class opponents that Ricky has faced.

Mitchell isn't any better than Brodie, everytime Kevin has stepped up he has been beat and it was the same for Brodie but imo In-Jin Chi was slightly better than Katsidis who destroyed Kevin Mitchell.

Beltran and Gonzalez were around the same level as Abelyan, Tom Johnson and Tracy Patterson imo, Gonzalez might have had better skills but gassed badly and has never fought again and beltran imo will never win a world title and his bout with Ricky was his one chance where he injured Ricky and that stopped Ricky from out boxing him comfortably.

I know you have had your biggest individual successes with Ricky because you were his head coach but I really don't think that putting down Scott's achievements (ones you were proud to be part of) is really doing you any favours. I know you are happy to have worked with Scott during these times and you had input during these training camps to help Scott achieve what he has and you never get the praise you probably deserve, don't make it look like you are bitter about the 2 boxers careers and how others view either boxers overall achievements!!

Scott will have his fans who will say he's better, Ricky will have his supporters that think he is better!! But as a fan of both i'm just happy that we have had 2 fighters during my time that put Scottish boxing on the map and kept the buzz up here!!

Just remember your good times with both of these Scottish World Champions and look to the future where you might well have more champions that can add to these memories!!

Good post mate.

Not much sporting success in Jock land these days and even your tennis player proudly lives in Surrey.

Hopefully you do not have to wait 10 years or more for another World Champion

To be honest mate as long as there are still people boxing in Scotland that is all I care about!! Boxing is my passion and whether I'm coaching a pro fighter or one of my novice amateurs I get the same buzz when they win and feel as gutted when they lose!! If Scotland don't have another world champion for 10 years then so be it but I enjoy and support all of the UK and Irish fighters the same so I'm sure there will be world champions for me to support!!

Well said David. I know when Barker won world title I was running round living room screaming at 5am waking everyone up, I was in Nottingham watching Froch win his first world title and jamp around like a nutter. I have also jumped up and down when Ricky or Scott win, as I always support all British fighters. Yes some I like more than others, only natural, as I am sure it was for English people when Andy Murray won wimbledon
