Nope aint buying that line of reasoning
Most of Hameds fights were against obviously inferior competition,allowing him to do the very showboating in the ring that made him so obnoxious to watch.
Barrerra's people bent over backwords to get that fight
Either
A)The Prince was starting to believe his own press(most likely)
Or
B)Barrera's people gave away so many concessions to get the fight,that Warren viewed it as a win win

And as soon as Hatton really wanted to step it up,Mr Warren was shown the door
Warren likes to get his guys a share of a title,and will generaly do just about anything to hold it
But come on,look at Warrens recent "offers" 6 Mill to Taylor,but he has to come to Wales,when he can make 10 and stay in the states
Offering Kessslers people the European TV Rights,because of what they "may be" worth
They arent just crappy offers,theyre downright insulting when you consider both of those fighters have double the amount of belts Joe has
