Not promote.....for example, Winky was a hard sell for years, but he was not hard to manage Ibeabuchi Cokes actually said he celebrated after the Byrd win, not because Ibeabuchi won per se, but because getting the sonofabitch into the ring was such a major accomplishment in the first place Tua Kevin Barry said getting the fat ass into shape was a job in itself, never mind training him, skillwise. Spadafora His weight was always all over the joint, as was, well, he himself. Hamed Towards the end, the guy just became unmanageable. The Soto fight set him back ages, the sham before McCullough was even worse, where he called idiot Journalist Colin Hart an idiot. Its not that Hart isnt a tard, as he is, but rather that Hamed was just going off the rails. Weight issues and obscure training hours capped it all off. Ricky Hatton Not unmanageable in the traditional sense, but his then-trainer Billy Graham used to say he would be sweating waiting to see how Fat Ricky had gotten over his January holidays.
Alex Arthur, changed his trainer almost every fight, as he believes he knows better than them. This basically ruined his career.
that reminds me, Scott Harrisson- impossible to manage. A complete screw up. I think he might still be in Jail.
Harrison was a very tough guy, just a shame his alcohol, drug and fighting on the streets issues could not be solved. He is in a Spanish jail as far as I know, but apparently wants to make a comeback when he gets out.
The only thing he is coming back to is England. They should put his pasty Scottish arse out in the midday sun in Spain as punishment.
Nice.....I would rather he gave it another go though, a fit Scott Harrison would destroy at least most of the domestic level fighters.
In fairness to him, unlike Amir Khan, at least he is willing to fight them. I know Brodie {another hard to manage lad} had very little left when they fought but Harrisson took him out in style.
That's the way ya boil haggis, a former paper belt holder, with paper skin, a typical short scottish fuse, and a galon of metho in the guts at all times. That's why halloween, vampires and creatures of the night all have origins from those areas,..
Yeah they had a little war going, but Brodie couldn't take it to the body which ultimately was his undoing. Brodie made a comeback the other week and was stopped, sad to see guys like that making a totally pointless comeback.
