Frank Warren Says Pacquiao is Too Smart For Hatton

[Dave Rado]

i dont know where u got this list from but that is pretty hard to believe if this is accurate.

He got it from The Ring.

Ok, lets start a forum up. Ill make it. EVERYONE PLEASE GO TO THE HATTON IS HE ELITE FORUM AND DISCUSS IT? Lets settle this.

All that would settle is who the haters are.

He's less elite than Pacquiao, obviously; but if the vast majority of boxing experts didn't consider him to be elite, he wouldn't have been P4P top 10 for all of the past 4 years.

Elite doesn't mean ATG, it just means one of the best, and most experts clearly consider him to be one of the 10 best.

Just ask yourself this folks, is what frank warren saying somewhat true? Just because frank is picking against ricky doesnt mean he's just going against ricky b/c its sour g****s.

Even the once revered ring magazine which is owned by hatton's current promoter is ripping him;

U can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig.

He is what he is......

The Ring publishes a wide range of opinions, many of their articles have been a lot more favourable to Hatton than that one. But in any case, that article is considering whether he's a true great or not, and no one in this thread has made any claims about that. It points out that he's less elite than Calzaghe was, which almost everyone would agree with - Calzaghe was #3 P4P when he retired, Hatton is currently rated #8. But if you don't think being considered one of the 10 best fighters in the sport, consistently, for four years means you're considered to be eilite then you don't know what the word "elite" means. It doesn't mean great, it just means one of the best among the current crop.

Well just see right?

We'll just see what? No one in this thread has said that Hatton will win, just that Warren always predicts he'll lose in every fight he has, regardless of who his opponent is. So what exactly will we see?

[Dave Rado]

i think we all know whats going to happen. ricky hatton is going to win .. lmfaooo sike............. pac man will gobble him up. it will be very fun to watch and i hope it goes the distance as pac ruins hattons face each round.

what i do wonder is when pac wins, what will all the pac mans hater say? that he fought a washed up ricky??

You won't find any Pac haters among Ricky's fans, they're mostly Pac fans too. If you want to find a Pac hater, look among JMM's fans.

[Dave Rado]

Then what are you trying to prove..

You obviously haven't read any of his posts or you'd know the answer to your question.

[Dave Rado]

Warren knows his ex fighter to the extent where he can make that judgement.

So why do you think he picked Urango, Lazcano and Malignaggi to beat Hatton? Do you think he showed great judgement when he picked the winner of those fights?

[Sparked_1985]

Yip you are a ****!! Typical Londoner agreeing with a Londoner who's jealous because he lost out on a huge fortune when Hatton told em to beat it. And you've got a Chelski picture on?? Coont

LOL........

Yes. That's what London is, several million people walking around agreeing with eachother.

[Dave Rado]

Thats even highly debatable due to the fact his promoter now owns the once revered ring magazine.

The Ring's rankings are not compiled by The Ring. They are compiled by a large panel of highly respected boxing experts who do not work for the Ring. The panel is listed here. I thought all boxing fans knew that.

He got it from The Ring.

I really would like to know how he came up with top 10 p4p list over the last decade. I object to the list.

Throw me a link or something. If its true then i stand corrected. Very hard to believe though.


Im looking at the ring magazine top 10 p4p, its says ricky has only been on the list for 22 weeks. I dont equate that to being top 10 p4p over the last half decade.
