    Paul Ingle - Medina, Jones.
    Naz - Johnson, Kelley.
    Hatton - Tszyu, Thaxton.
    Williams - Tyson, Vitali.
    Rogan - Audley, Skelton.
    Bruno - McCall, Tyson.
    Benn - McClellan, Eubank.
    Pyatt - Kalambay, Collins.
    Honeyghan - Curry, Starling.

    etc, etc. Of course his fighters took risks, just in most cases he likes to hold them back.

    So Warren agreed to set Calzaghe up with a tough fight when he wanted it?

    Benn was with Mendy for his first fight with Eubank, but I think he was with Warren for Eubank II
    Bruno had no choice if he wanted to be the HW champ, plus he signed a contract with King which said that he had to fight Tyson if he beat McCall
    Williams Tyson not sure what to make of that Tyson was washed up at that point, but I do agree with the Vitali fight
    Not very famailar with the other fights.

    Benn - I meant the 2nd Eubank fight.
    Williams - Tyson was seen as the strong favourite in the fight, Williams wasn't given a chance = a risk.

    good point, especially for a B level fighter like Danny

    Do you know why Jones Benn never happened? Warren was involved in that fight as well.

    Not all fighters, i think thats unfair. But some haven't taken risks until late on. Though looking at Kevin Mitchell, Prescott and Katsidis....big fights.

    He always wanted the big fights. It's a lot of shite to say he ducked folk and hid behind his WBO strap.
