Comments Thread For: Michael Hunter: I Was Never Really Embraced By Matchroom

[Rodtang]

I used to rate Hunter till he refused to fight Hrgovic for mandatory

I still rate him but starting to see some of his BS. I think he's outgrown himself by not fighting Hrgovic and fighting whoever the hell this next opponent is lol. It's a shame as he seems a nice guy.

If ducking Hrgovic, and choosing to fight a guy who nobody has heard of is outgrowing something then Michael Hunter is suffering from delusions of grandeur. He had a draw with ancient Povetkin and beat a top 40 guy in Bakole. Decent, but nothing to shout from the rooftops. The Hrgovic duck was so blatant and he loses any credibility he had earned. Nash out.

I think he's talented but I've no idea what he's doing with his career right now. Did you see his last opponent also. He thinks he's a bogeyman and believing his own BS.

If you're a HW and you sign for Matchroom, that means you become a water carrier for Joshua and Whyte.

I don't blame Hunter for looking elsewhere.

Better not carry Wilders water that ****s tainted

James Hunt just proved why no American should sign with Hearn. Basically you’re saying because he pulled for the American, like himself, and didn’t embrace the British fighter is the reason he was shunned by matchroom. As I have said before folks, the “empire” mentality in action right there. “You must do everything we tell you to do and say and always do what you’re told.”

You just quoted the PBC mantra from the Gospel according to Haymon

I like Hunter as a boxer, his style of fighting and his personality, but I think with his latest career decisions, it's like he doesn't truly believe he can beat the top, top guys, and is just stalling, and running his mouth. He ducked Hrgovic, there is no ifs or buts, and that's a bad look. Just like Rid**** Bowe ducked Lewis, and nobody can look past or excuse that. Bowe ducked Lewis for the same reason Hunter ducked Hrgovic, it's a fight he knew he'd lose, and his ego couldn't allow it.

Hunter will try and cash out in a future title shot, that's what's in his mind, but I don't see him ever getting one. He'll likely get a shot a Bridgerweight. Nash out.

When Hearn went looking for a replacement for Miller, and chose a PBC guy (Ruiz) instead of giving you a shot at Joshua in the U.S., you should've known it was time to bounce! Andrade should've left with you!!!

Lost so much respect and time for hunter. Dudes actually is bit of a fraudulent personality. Very yellow bellied.

his last 3 predictions of HW Fights he ain’t involved in have been the polar opposite to what actually ended up happening. Comes out with weird conspiracies like he knows info he just isn’t around to know.

lastly, we all know if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck , then it’s a DUCK. It’s one thing to dip and dive outta tough fights, but to then try to spin it to his fans was wrong. He got no respect for his fans. He fighting some lesser level guy he should be embarrassed this is where his career at. He talking like he has a load of leverage over promoters and networks, when he’s nobody and done nothing.

Exquisitely put. That’s exactly what you become, that’s why Parker’s happy to be there. That guy was so happy to be the first to last 12 with joshua, still makes me laugh til this day his post fight interview!!

Ok, you took an easy WBA route for more money instead of losing to Hrgovic in IBF eliminator.

Good for you, but just stop talking **** now.
