    Early career: Turned pro at 16 in 1992 with minimal amateur experience (claiming a 3-6 record), 171-197 lbs, lost on his debut to a debutant who finished his career 1-3, 5-6-2 pro record (3 wins by TKO, 5 losses by KO/TKO) prior to age 20

    Prime: From 1996-2003, 20-27 years old, 200-229 lbs, often fighting on very short notice, Tyson/Jones/Lewis sparring partner Harris had a record of 14-7 (8 wins by KO/TKO/DQ, 2 losses by SD/MD, 4 by KO/TKO), beating 18-0 Izon (UD8, coming off three consecutive KO/TKO defeats), Thunder (KO7), J. Williams (UD10) and 16-0 Liakhovich (KO9, returning to the ring 12 months after coming off two consecutive defeats within 35 days, including a KO1 in his previous fight) and won the unofficial eight-man “Thunderbox Heavyweight Tournament” in 2002, beating T.
