FRANK WARREN...."Is Hatton on the slide?"

[Bomp]

Some good points
I honestly don't see that he did alot wrong with Hattons career to be honest

I think your forgetting how many people fell off (jumped would be more accurate) the Hatton bandwagon due to his snail like progress. If Frank is right and Ricky is on the slide that means that up to his prime Frank Warren delivered him ONE top class fight.

And how many has he had since..?

Not ONE

Really is a two way street this one mate

I agree with you smash. I don't think Warren did much wrong with Hatton's career at all. He took him along nicely and gave him possibly the p4p no.1 in his own backyard when he was still quite young (26 I think).

The way to look at it is to ask where would Hatton be now if his whole career had been developed by one of the other british promoters (Hobson/hennessey)? You only need to look at Junior Witter's career (a guy of similar potential as Hatton) to see how things could have turned out. I doubt Frank would have thrown Ricky in with the champion in his division when he wasn't ready and on a few days notice, setting his career back 5 years.
