I've said it before and I'll say it again, Harrison had most of the attributes to be a top pro. Size, power, skills, decent enough chin, punch variety. He just won't let his punches go, he doesn't seem to actually like fighting.
I remember when he lost to Williams, even though he had taken a lot of criticism up to that point the loss at that stage of his career to Williams signalled to me that he would never fulfill his potential. The following loss to Guinn sort of showed he didn't have it inside him to rebound from that loss and make amends.
When he turned pro he wanted to do everything himself, he wanted to be a pioneer for British boxers and handle all aspects of his career. He paid the price, fought poor opposition, didn't take criticism at all and refused to do things the conventional way.
Against Sprott in 2010 he showed he can carry his power to the latter stages, this proves he has a ko punch from start to finish. I believe landing a similar sort of shot is his only chance of beating Price. He doesn't throw enough punches to win a boxing match. If Price comes out and pressures Harrison from the first bell I can see Harrison going in to his shell and being beaten easily.
