I know a few people think that MH is a cunt, but he's impressed me recently, sending his best fighter to America to take on the best in the division, rather than have him sit at home and fight random nobodies.

I also liked that he put Tyson Fury in with a 21-3 opponent in only hi second fight.

When Witter was WBC champ, he tried to get him on HBO, offering to fight anyone, anywhere. D Hop pulled out/never agreed in the first place, and no one else was acceptable to HBO. After Witter lost, MK offered Ajose Olusegun a fight with him. That's impressive IMO because Olusegun has been calling Witter out for ages, and is a high risk/low reward fight.

I don't think Warren would have handled things in the same way. Froch would be against lesser opposition and Fury would be against bums for the next 2 years.

I also like that his shows are on ITV, so that bums like me get to see them.

Either way, I think that Warren having a rival is a good thing for British boxing.

I don't think you can be anymore of a cunt than Wank Warren.

He like Maloney believe in the traditional route for their fighters and also get them ranked with the proper organisations (ie not the Warren Boxing Organistion).

I think both of them realise that boxing fans dont want to see a paper champ fighting bums or a prospect not making progress. His name maybe not as big in the states as Warrens but I also prefer his handling of fighters and long may it continue.

Of all of the bigger name british promoters I would prefer to watch a maloney or even a hayemaker card to be honest to sitting through a Warren one.

my favourite british boxing promoter by far. i enjoy watching them when there on itv. homegrown british boxers at there best.

I just hope that Tyson Fury is as good as he makes out he is.

Hennessy is just like Warren he wants to make as much money as possible before matching his fighters with anyone the real deal.

Warren will always be a prick to me as he wasted Calzaghes best years.

Fury has a chin that Makes Khan seem like LaMotta.

I see Fury get stopped twice as an amateur and once knocked out cold.

to be fair i think calzaghe is much to blame for this as well. he never had the confidence of stepping up until recently

I dont blame Joe. The only viable opponents post Eubank were hopkins at 160 and Jones at 175.

Joe was happy making millions fighting less than stella opponents.

It took Hatton 39 fights to get Tszyu.

You got to be kidding me.

No he lost twice in the Olympic trials once brutally ko`d.

I read that dave price knocked it out in two rounds. a shame that, he`ll fight someone tall who has a punch and get kayod.

I have no idea if Fury has been KO'd, but with regard to Price:

"I fought David Price three years ago, when I was 17. It was my ninth amateur bout, I knocked him down in the fight, but lost it on points," explained Fury.

He has a dreadful chin.

There are lots of promoters that are rivals to Warren and keep him on his toes like Barry Hearns and his Matchroom Sport, who introduced Prizefighter to Sky and the various boxers who have begun gathering stables of boxers and tieing up TV deals from Haymaker to Hatton and Clazaghe soon to come, not to mention Frank Maloney.

Back in the day it was much worse with guys like Jack Solomon, who had an iron grip on British Boxing, and when Warren was stepping up in the Promotions world, he didn't exactly get a nice reception from the likes of Mickey Duff & Harry Levine.

In my opinion most negative comments come from a fans perspective, which doesn't reflect the realities 'on the ground' as they say, therefore the work of a modern promoter/matchmaker is hugely distorted. I'm no fan of any particular promoter but it has to be said that the likes of Warren get an unfair amount of online heat and for the most part it is based on nothing short of absolute ignorance about the sport.

Promoting can be a selfless struggle and whatever Frank Warren or any succesfull promoter can get, is the least they deserve. Alot of fighters like to talk nonesense about how they were ripped off, especially after they have become established and have been made into a celebrity but in their stupidity they don't understand the basics of negotiating, examples are Calzaghe and Hennessey.

Alot of fans talk of the glory days of boxing and how boxers should aspire to the golden age of boxing, when fighters were literally fodder for our inner thurst for blood. This is entertainment after all and not some sick Lenny Mclean brawl.

Modern Boxing has cleaned it's act up and I agree that many fights weren't overly exciting for the boxing fans in recent years but boxing reacted, firstly in the US when Golden Boy stepped out and began matchmaking some great fights and in the UK, promoters such as Warren did react to the change and challenges laid down by new promoters and the emergence of MMA. Slowly even Germany is now beginning to come out of it's isolated shell.

Every good promoter has a number of strategies or gamplans, which he/she employes according to the strength's and weakness' of their fighters. I can assure you all, that although it may sound exciting what the likes of Hennessey & Haye are doing in being gung ho but it's a short term strategy which cannot and will not last.
