I was a big fan of Harrison , glad to see he is out , wish he could find a role as a trainer , maybe working with his father.

I think his best days are behind him ,would prefer him to retire from boxing ,(as a boxer), 41 years old......he is nearly as old as me.

I hope he can find some sort of piece of mind and put his past issues with the law behind him .

I wish him well.

He has no chance. At his best he was world level, but not in the top bracket. Good jab, relentless and hit hard enough to break people down if they were too static, but he always struggled with movement, and won many fights by being big at the weight.

The biggest names he beat were shot to fuck. People say that Johnson was past his best when Hamed beat him (which he was, although not shot) and that was 3 years before Harrison fought him. Johnson was 3-3 in his previous 6 fights before Harrison. Robinson had lost 4 in a row when he faced Harrison, lost the fight after Harrison too and retired.

McCullogh, fair enough...good win. He then went 1-1 with a way past best Medina. Medina was another one that people say was past his best against Hamed, and that was 7 years before the Harrison fights. He got gifted a draw against Polo, and had some good wins over fringe world level guys, but not one elite win. His pressure and all action style is not one that will translate well to being 41 and an ex alcoholic.

What do you think of his interpretation of Billy Connolly?



I'm not entirely sure why 'The Big Yin' would have 'Harrison' gloves around his neck ...
