    What pisses me off the most with Frank is how he offers one of his fighters a step up in class.

    They shine and the next fight he puts them against some bum.

    For example,

    Gavin schooling McDonagh. Why not put Gavin in with Daws? No, has to put him in with some bum called Tait.

    Watch DeGale fight some bum next.

    The thing is, Brits will happily fill in 2-6k stadiums to watch them fight.

    None of them show anything world class yet.

    They are all good prospects, but every country has them.

    Frank doesn't want them to be exposed.

      Look at it like this - Kostya Tszyu fought for and won his first world title in his 14th fight. But Tszyu fought Juan La Porte, who went 12 rounds in a title fight with Azumah Nelson, in his 4th pro fight. There were arguably no soft fights for Tszyu in next the 29 fights following La Porte.

      Hatton had fought 37 times, Mitchell 31 times (and we all know the Calzaghe story) before they got their first elite level fights.

      Warren only makes his fighters fight the best when the public is unwilling to pay to watch them fight anyone else. Hopefully by that time they'll have the experience, confidence and skills to win. And hopefully the ref and judges will be on side. Didn't work out for Mitchell I'm afraid.
