Harris Leads Showtime Polls!

After ten days of hosting an online interactive poll in which Showtime Networks website has been conducting a live poll in which it asks viewers 'who, if anyone, can beat Kostya Tszyu?' Although most fans feel Tszyu is unbeatable at this stage, fight fans feel that WBA Champion "Vicious" Vivian Harris would have the best chance of beating the Australian dynamo. Harris, leads the pack with 28% of all votes, followed by Floyd Mayweather (23%), Arturo Gatti (9%) and Ricky "Hitman" Hatton (7%). "It's great to see the fans recognizing Harris' talent despite his lack of US televised fights, I'm surprised he's leading the poll because he hasn't had the exposure the others have on HBO or Showtime, but it shows what the real fans want. At 26 years old Harris' future is extremely bright, he's gonna rule for a longtime. He'd fight Kostya or Floyd tomorrow" stated Richard Slone, of Harris' management team "The networks should take serious notice of these latest polls, because fight fans need to be heard."
