Nonsense Max. Hatton's goal was a fight againd the best fighter in the world Floyd Mayweather. Warren would never have made that fight, especially in Vegas. Warren says he'd never put a fighter of his in with a guy who would be favoured, ergo he'd never have negotiated the Floyd fight leaving Hatton, who wanted the fight, frustrated.
Hatton left Warren to get THE best fight in the world possible at this time, slate him for all you like, talk of pimp hands and what not, but you are failing to understand what makes a competitor tick.
It's one thing fighting the best In the world, but It's another fighting him reckless with no game plan at all or any form of defence.
Thought they studied In the training camp? All 24/7 shown us was them calling Floyd a runner and that he doesn't do padwork properly.
Whats nonsense about what you quoted? Warren would of picked Callazo for Hatton If he wanted It since Warren thought Callazo was crap.
Yeah he left him complaining about money like how the offer was rubbish but couldn't tell us anything, not about fighting the best In the world. He didn't even fight the best till over 2 years later.
I'm talking about the general nonsense of you not giving credit to anyone outside your sphere of favouritism then accusing others of lacking perspective if they pull you up on it.
Fighting the best in the world you do take game plans into the ring but the best, and Floyd is the very best, tend to reduce the plans to error within minutes. Mistakes were made but Floyd adpated and played a few new moves.
'24/7' showed us avatars of both men. You really think Floyd thought he was fighting Rocky? Floyd clearly knew his stuff.
I'm not even sure what you mean by the final paragraph but Hatton left Warren and it culminated in a very big fight, against Floyd, in Vegas. To that end, defeat or not, he can feel vindicated, cash wise and in terms of going for the biggest possible fight in the world. Only a fool, or, even worse, a biased fool, would excessively criticise him for it. The sport is better off with fighters who are prepared to do this type of thing. He raised the sports profile no end this week.
In Liverpool, as in Manchester, I'm sure you get local hard men who boast about how tough they are then go into student areas beating people up knowing the risk-reward ratio is stacked for them. Hatton opted out of this route and went for it. He fought a tight fight at welter once then went back there to fight the best fighter, Vernon Forrest aside, in the world. How exactly does make him open for such harsh criticism and carping about how his prior promoter would not have made the fight?
I do give credit when It's due(I do say Tszyu was a good win for example) and I wouldn't mention favouritism the way you talk about Manchester fighters. Lacking perspective and accuse who?
Well If he took any game plans Into the fight then why did he fight one way the whole fight? He's been fighting this way since he beat Tszyu and has been mediocre.
Nothing wrong with him wanting to fight the best, but at least go In with proper game plans and don't listen to your cornermen when they tell you to forget defence.
Didn't seem like there was any proper plan and that they never took Floyd seriously.
Why bother leaving Warren when he chose Urango, a shot Castillo and Callazo? At least he would of been realistic with his chances against Floyd which only few were.
I criticise when theres something to criticise. He didn't take Floyd seriously and was taunting him even when outclassed. Hatton loses or has nightmares when he's figured out or when he fights someone his own size.
