I believe you guys are not giving Hank proper credit.
For instance, lets take his fighting losses as an example: When a promissing fighter starts competing, his agent will match him to guys to whom he will have an easy win, in order to give him good stats and get better matches. There's when Hank gets into play. The Mike Tysons of this world need the Hanksters of the world to become who they are.
It's a symbiotic relationship, one doesn't exist without the other, and not everybody puts himself into the position of getting his face blown appart, over and over, for the solely fortune of other fighter. It takes heart, and Hanks has it.
