    I Ioved watching Harrison, he was a monster at his weight. I suspect Naz is all kinda of wrong for him though. Apropos nothing, I always remember one of the Sky commentators describing Harrison as having a 'face like a well kept grave'. Brilliant. Kid meant business every time!

    Kelly was a bigger puncher than Scott Harrison. Harrison was just physically strong, boxed no one and lost to a shot to pieces Manual Medina. Agree that Hamed would be a heavy favourite. I think Paul Ingle would have also beaten Harrison.

    lol Naz doesn't even have a good resume himself, who did he beat, he went life and death with Kevin Kelley for gods sake!!

    Naz ducked all the best fighters of his era, and when he finally fought the best - Barrera moved up in weight and beat him like a ragdoll, exposed all his flaws and made him look like a clown.

    It is a myth that Barrera beat him like a ragdoll.Yes he won but it was a relatively competetive fight the score cards read 115 - 112 twice and 116-111. People so dislike Naz they make things up

    There's a full fight video there for all to see. It was a humiliating beatdown. Hamed was exposed for all his flaws. Two of those scorecards were wrong and too close. It was 9-3 (and Barrera had a point taken away, so 5 points up like one of the scorecards) it was CLEAR win, a 5/6 points up schooling, and not competitive. Hamed just seemed happy to last the distance. Hamed could fight Barrera 100 times and he'd lose 100 times, there's LEVELS.

    I doubt you have even seen the fight. On the scoring system you can win 120 - 108 and still have a competetive fight.If you dont understand that well so be it. No way did Barrera make Naz look like a clown and yes i scored the fight or Marco

    I just watched it recently again funnily enough. And I've watched it plenty of times, it's one of the best examples on how fundamentals work. He was outsmarted by a brilliant tactician and all round well schooled boxer who stuck to a plan and beat him convincingly.

    You're obviously a huge Naz fanboy so there's not point going over this with you.:lol:

    Good posts, Noel. There's no getting through to some people. I think they're called trolls.

    Agree. Thinking back to a fight like Naz vs Robinson - Robinson was beaten before we went in because he had no aggression and no chin, and the fundamentals went out the window. Meeting Naz without any fear (like Kelley did) would have kept the fight long at least.

    I could see Harrison have his moments lets be honest Naz would sling himself all over at times looking for the big shot BUT i think Naz would land eventually Harrison.

    Harrison had a few disappointing results dotted in a fairly short career. Naz has almost more KO's than Harrison has fights for example so on that basis I think Naz would win it but Harrison would be a live dog. Anyone that can grind down the likes of Brodie needs some respect.

    Naz is always derided for the Barrea loss but it was his only loss and after that Harrison and Naz have similar levels of competition and Harrison lost a few of them Naz didn't.

    This. And Harrison was pretty big for his weight class and at his very best was very relentless.

    I really believe at that time period Naz was a part time boxer just looking to land the big shot.
    He was nothing like he was when he was coming up - with Barrera he didn't really do too much.
