    YouTuber who makes content on upcoming fights, negotiations etc, I’m sure some of you have watched him.

    He makes good videos. Knowledgeable on the ins and outs of the sport. Although, it is rather silly to see him get flustered occasionally from someone who doesn't agree with him (mainly happened during the peak of the pandemic) and accuse them of spouting "Orwellian nonsense". :lol:

    But yeah, he is a cool dude.

    I like him. I am subscribed to Hatman and i think he offers interesting opinions. I respectfully disagree with his Itauma Mike Tyson video where he undersold Tyson's competition a bit but he is a good content creator.

    Guys like Rummy, Hatman, Gman etc. are the kind of guys i hope i can emulate as i too am looking into creating youtube content.

    I enjoy his videos

    I don't always agree with him but his points are out across well and he has good understanding of boxing

    He's a big AJ fanboy, and cringe with it.

    Definitely a Joshua fanboy but never wants to admit it. He had a facebook group years ago full of ASBO's and he looked like a genius in amongst them, and then he got the bright idea to monetise his followers to put an end to his days as a doorman. His ego is enormous and always makes "told you so" videos after sitting on the fence and carefully choosing his words. Also reads off a script for his videos with lots of jump cuts - he could never film himself for this reason, as he likes people to think he's doing it off the cuff. He has a lot of ludicrous opinions that are not substantiated scientifically. Sometimes boasts that he studied psychology in college, which is a ridiculously low level (practically highschool level of 13-14 year olds).

    I like Hatman, my only issue is that he talks about every possible outcome for how he sees a fight going, then he always takes credit for the "prediction before he changed his prediction last minute"

    I quite like him on the whole. He's pretty knowledgeable and able to put certain boxing concepts across well. He seems fairly unbiased and generally gives a take on things that I am broadly in sympathy with. Seems to have a bit of an I told you so attitude at times, but he doesn't always go with the obvious pick and gets stick for it so I can sympathise with that.

    I have listened to him for years and I like him. I find him much better than most YouTube boxing channels out there.
    He has boxed and seems to know the technicalities of the game. And its history. Plus he also has knowledge (to what degree, I don't know) of psychology so often applies this thinking to analyse a fighters' state of mind.
    I do think he's fairly unbiased though, admittedly, does like to highlight it after when he gets a prediction right. I know he dips into other areas of society and culture in his paid stuff - but I've only ever gone to him for boxing.
    I think he's better than most other YouTubers out there - although I do like another guy called Chris Andre, but he seems to have gone quiet of late.

    I completely agree, he knows his boxing, but in his predictions, he always words it in a way where he can do an ‘I told you so’ whatever happens in the fight for some reason, it must be for an ego boost or something. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that.

    He’s good but I enjoy his old videos much more. His videos are much shorter these days
