Kind of making me laugh thinking all 3 fled him when Hide has fought guys like Riddick Bowe and Vitali.[/quote]

Is this the one where he's "fighting" that bum from Argie?
Sweet Mary of Nazareth.....
No wonder they left his name off the poster.
For the "vacant WBU world heavyweight title" - pure farce.

Rejoice - IT IS WBU TIME AGAIN !
What a load of bullshit.
Fwankly speaking - he is making Skelton look like a fool.

It saddens me when a fight such as this is billed a 'world' title fight. We only have to look at Steve Foster's WBU title fight with Livinson Ruiz a week or so ago to see the kind of fare we're going to be served up. Foster-Ruiz was one of the most unpleasant fights I have ever seen. Ruiz took everything in the face and would have been spared a horrible knockout had he been fighting Foster as he should have been - in an eight-rounder.
The Board should oust the WBU and the IBO.

Yeah, coz Greenburg being an Israeli and having 2/3 of his fights in the UK, the last of which was two months ago has 'fleeing Britain' written all over it.

F*cking disgrace.
Wish the board would put an end to this nonsense.
Also is Skelton really that tall? I always thought he was nearer 6 foot 1.
To me it seems Warren is content he's signed the Hatton - Tsyzu fight to keep fans happy so will squeeze as much shit as possible in before hand.

That poster actually reminds me a little of a poster I saw years ago for an unlicenced fight between Lenny McLean and 'Man Mountain' York.
The tag-line went something like "I'm 6ft7in 24st and 24 years old Lenny McLean has had his day"
The late McLean won by KO2 for those who care.

Gotta laugh at the permanently vacant WBU title. It is permanently vacant: means absolutely nothing.

I'm sure that there's a joke about Beavis and Butthead to be had somewhere here.
Also, I'm surprised that there haven't been more mentions about how crappy the poster looks. It looks like something a 12 year old would put together in an IT lesson.

Do you have to be the one directly affected to sue? If not boys, we're in the money :P

Come on chaps. Mr Warren is a promoter, it's his job to dress mutton up as lamb if it will help him sell it.
People constantly give him grief about the quality of his shows and how he is overly protective of his fighters; but nobody is game enough to knock him of his perch (like he did to Duff).
Plus, you folks who slag him off still tune in and watch his shows, or buy tickets and go to them. Surely that makes you hypocrites?
I respect him for what he is, the best boxing promoter in the land.

No coincidence, Frank first started out promoting the likes of mclean, i believe he actually started as a runner and flyer boy for mcleans fights but was later given responsibility for organising the fights.
