Well With Manny Pacquiao disposing of world rated number one Marco Antonio Barrera, via an eleventh round TKO, does Harrison target the new featherweight boss from the Philippines? The answer it would seem is no. Rumour is that Pacquiao is looking to step back down to the super-bantamweight division to defend his IBF strap one more time before gaining those extra four pounds and mixing it with the featherweights again. Barrera himself may be an option as he has a great relationship with the WBO but his plans have yet to be announced. So who is left?
Does Harrison go for the newly crowned WBA/IBF featherweight kingpin in the form of big punching Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico? That again seems as though it will have to wait as the fight would be hard to make with Marquez more than likely passing on the option to travel to Scotland, and Harrison still needing to improve his profile stateside for the TV bosses to stump up the money required to make the fight happen. Not that Harrison would refuse the fight, as he seems like one of the few fighters today who want to fight the best. The same would apply to a fight with the man that Marquez beat for the WBA crown, Derrick ?Smoke? Gainer, who is himself still looking for a route back into title contention.
