    "Hatton targets vunerable youngster"

    Maybe but we'll have to see how Hatton goes as its still early days for him. He doesn't have the TV rights that Warren will ultimately get so we'll have to wait and see. I hope the lad does well. He's a nice lad who always took the time out to come and speak to me at the gym and ask how I was etc etc. Shame but I wonder what caused this as if anyone could get him big shots it would have been Warren surely ?

    maybe Crolla could do with a change if only to shake things up a little.

    If you read the whole article it says Hatton has 8 Sky dates. They've got two 'booked' already (Macklin-Asikainen and Matt Hatton-Ndou).

    Gallagher does seem to be a good trainer, he's got a good (growing) stable so maybe he can help Crolla reach that next level.

    Hatton promotions are proving me wrong. They are becoming a promotional force IMO.

    Good steal for Hatton, Crolla is a good undercard fighter for any show especially after the Sykes fight im interested in seeing them both again

    Crolla is very similer to Macklin. And Joe is a very good trainer. That said i'd imagine the move would have been more to do with Arnies connection with Warren then any problems with the coaching.

    Ishy so what. Calzaghe fought for a title - AND WON :lol:

    Seriously though I fail to see how Matthew Hatton could have any fans outside of his own family !!! It broke my heart watching him lording it up next to Ali like that.
