Fat Dan hates and insults boxers because he is ........

[ruthless rocco]

“What is about to go down Saturday night in Monterrey, Mexico, is everything that is wrong with boxing. Vivian Harris is going to fight. He is taking on Jorge Paez Jr. in a fight that should not be taking place…. Harris is a shot fighter. A badly shot fighter, who has not been a remote factor for about seven years.” –Dan Rafael March 17, 2014


Harris, of course, went on to beat Paez, Jr. on March 22 deep in the heart of Mexico.

just cause he works for ESPN doesn't mean he always has to be right. Harris, if were talking about the same one is shot. He got stopped by Ortiz not so long ago?

Yeh I'd give Fat Dan a well intentioned pass on that one. Harris was on a terrible run of shaky legs and being dropped and hurt by glancing punches. Watching him leaving on a stretcher and slurring was enough to hope he won the lottery and immediately retire. That was ugly stuff.

Just because Harris won the fight doesn't mean he should still be fighting. Carried out on a stretcher. Slurring words. Having won only 1 fight in 6 years, with 6 of those 7 losses by KO. These are valid reasons that Harris should be done as a fighter.

From what I gather he was a third choice late replacement for Erik Morales?! Just the thought of a worn down and punch prone guy being shipped down to Meheeco as a late sub should give anyone pause. He beat Paez, he should retire on a high. But he won't.
