"What Frank knows about tactics could be written on a postage stamp." "Now Frank sounds like a jilted lover. He just slags people off in his column and can't take any criticism in return. It's a bully-boy tactic but in reality he's a wimp." Hilarious. And true. Warren is the British version of King.
I bet Billy Graham and Ricky liked what they were watching with Malignaggi last night. Malignaggi & Pacquaio in 2008 for Hatton ?
Although some of Warrens criticisims of Hatton have merit, his columns in the Sun are propagandist shite most of the time.
it's a double edged sword. Had Warren not protected Hatton for so long matching him against chumps, helping to avoid Witter and got him Tszyu at the right time....where would Hatton have been? He'd have been exposed long before he actually was, and would not have made as much cash.
I love this "being exposed" stuff - The guy lost to the #1 p4p fighter atm - he still have wins over Tszyko and Castillo. As I see it Warren held Hatton back for a long time - look at how he has kept Calzaghe at home protected most of the way. Result even though Calzaghe has been champion for 10 years and unified SMW he is still getting little to no respect - and his earnings are something like 1/5 of Hattons...
but he wasn't just exposed against Mayweather....though how many elite fighters have recently been knocked out like Hatton was? None...because Hatton ain't elite. He was exposed against Collazo...a guy who went on to get leathered by Mosley. the fact that neither Tszyu or Castillo have done anything since fighting Hatton lends credence to the theory they were well past their best. Basically everyone said that about Castillo well before the fight.
What a pile of crap. I guess Duran was not elite for getting Knocked out cold with one shot. I guess Lewis was not elite and DLH was not elite. Also why do people keep talking as if Hatton was sparked cold? Everyone seems to think that when he was hit with the left and went into the ring post that he was then counted out. He got up and fought on and was then dropped again and the ref rightly waved it off, but he got up before 10 on the second KD too and as such it was a TKO and he was on his feet.
I hope so. I think he would walk through Paulie, and the fight with manny would be a barn burner if manny doesnt lose much moving up that far
of course it would be a pile of crap, if it was my only argument for him being exposed.But it's not. It's just another factor that I feel adds credence to my argument. Mayweather hadn't put a dent in anyone for quite a while, elite opponent or not. You can harldy compare that with Tommy Hearns over haeavy handed heavies. Christ, even Hatton was mocking Mayweather's power before the fight.
Hatton was exposed as not having the chin and staying power at WW against collazo let alone floyd the idea he was exposed as not being an elite fighter is just stupidity. He is still the best LWW in the world.
well said. hatton will walk through paulies punches all day. he hits like a girl. hatton will pressurise him and win inside 6
Of course he is.Thats why he hasnt fought Witter yet his number 2 and is now thinking about fighting Pac-Man.He needs to fight at 140 a bit more often and against the best guys in his division to be called the best at 140.And old Castillo and some guy called Urango dont really cut the cake do they.:roll:
