    Has there ever been an interview with Frank Warren where people have questions his fighters opponents, especially recently. Could someone please post it on here.

    I would love to know his reason for having Sellers fight Maccaeranelli!

    Loads question him and he always makes AWFUL excuses. Its usually based around 'you don't know what the hell you are on about, im moving the fighter at the right pace'.

    I had a huge argument with fw.tv about haye v enzo not coming off. I was told to get a promoters licence and see how easy it is to do. I was then told not to worry because enzo will face a top 10 fighter...

    ...BOBBY GUNN!

    FW also did the same after Ricky fought Vince Phillips. He said he would deliver Ricky a top 10 opponent. He then delivered Aldo Rios who was ranked within the top 10 by te WBA at the time..

    Oh he is a master at finding guys who fit the script in everyway but actually interesting the fans i.e. I believe Sellers is ranked number 15 with the WBO or WBA. Some BS like that.

    how can sellars be ranked anywhere? he gets starched in his only 2 fights in 2004.after 3 years out comes back this year beats the mighty troy beets,then amazingly gets ranked.if he's ranked 15 by whoever have you not got to be in the top ten to get a title shot?how can warren present this guy as a credible opponent and keep a straight face?

    Remember Frank more or less owns WBO.:yep There is you explanation to the ranking. Why do you think nearly all Warrens boxers go for the mighty WBO belt?

    Warren actually tried to get Johny Jensen as opponent to Enzo and trust me, Jensen is a worthless boxer with a "pretty" record who would get KO'ed within the first 3-4 rounds. It looks like Warren just wants Enzo to look good with a KO victory.

    Has anyone read Franks page in the papers on a weekend?

    What an **** head. He makes my skin crawl. He constantly bitches about other promoters and boxers but defends his own guys or really his actions in putting them in with bums to the death.

    For those of us who hate the guy you should read it, it will make your blood boil.

    unfortunately you only have to be top 15 to get a title shot.

    the article on FWs site about the Sellars fight made be cringe. i can just imagine the casual fan buying into Sellars being this world class cruiserweight monster and then thinking macca is the best cw in the world when he beats him. :(
