I really hope Hatton leaves SN.
Its very hard to prove if its a failure to deliver or if its the fighters fault.
Do you blame allegedly allegedly allegedly for the Johnson vs Calaghe pull out.
Alot of fighters are quite content to earn the £££££ fighting lesser opponents and then saying they are angered about their career.
Fair point, but how many truly big fights has he delivered in the last 5 years? Just the one.
He doesn't have the same clout as say King, Bob Arum, Golden Boy - if Hatton goes with either of those outfits expect to see him fighting the likes of Mayweather, Cotto, Judah.... can Allegedly truly deliver big fights like that on a consistent basis? It has to be a big wholehearted NO.
Agreed, but he has delievered a bit more than 1 big fight for his fighter.
Danny Williams had Tyson and Klitchsko - okay so Tyson might have been more to do with the US promoters, but then he was involved in getting Klitchsko.
I would argue that had Michael Brodie and Scott Harrison been well known by the masses then this could have been as big as Benn vs Eubank - as big a fight for Harrison as he is likely to get financially. Maruqez and Chi are not big box office (thats why Marquez rarely headlines).
Of course there was Witter vs Judah and Tyson vs Francis aswell, although these are beyond your five year period.
But on your point generally, I do agree.
