The only thing I can think of him improving so far would be the use of his jab. He didn't look any better than he should at this stage. He was just throwing simple, half-power shots and probably still getting use to Big Mayweather. I really didn't think he looked anything special, you know. Not better than he has looked before.
It will take more than one month to get something out of Mayweather. I think it is good for him at this stage because if he is only fighting a few more times than anything that will keep his motivation and inspiration up at this point is good. It will keep him fresh and training hard with some new things, though nothing much will change that we can see. He might learn to use his jab more effectively and also his technical flaws may change a bit. One thing he has to change is the dropping of his right hand when he throws his left hook and that is something Big Mayweather will change for him.
I had a look at an older training vid of him doing some rounds on the heavy bag and he always drops his right. How someone didn't pick up on that earlier is disturbing. It's so obvious and anyone that watched any videos as an opponent would zone in on that exact punch and flaw. Both Mayweather Jr and Lazcano did and I can also imagine Malignaggi will try to use it.
I wonder if Mayweather Sr. is going to get him away from his mauling/hugging style.
I seriously doubt it. Dont get me wrong im sure Mayweather Sr will make him better in the technical area but lets face it the guy has been using his style for a very long time and what does a fighter do when they are in trouble in the ring? well they revert to what they know best because they think thats their only chance to make it out so i expect him to use his mauling/grindin style when he thinks he is losing or when he is gettin hurt a bit and he wants to try and turn the momentum. which actually i mean its not a bad thing to do he's gonna do what he's most comfortable with. how mayweather sr will react lol well idk...
Mayweather training Hatton is probably why this fight is of more interest to me.
it won't be PPV, it won't have a 24/7
but im still looking forward to Hatton/Malignaggi
Lose to Malignaggi? Don't be f**king ridiculous.
hahaha deff didnt say that Malignaggi WOULD be him i said it could be possible... i have a bet with one of my friends that Hatton beats malignaggi, the dudes like paper
Even though Hatton's finest hour was beating Tszyu he always looked best in the fights where he boxed, threw neat combinations and made his opponents look silly. They did happen you know.
Ohh i kno i hear ya dude im just sayin that if he stays outside to much Paulie would get him cuz hes the better boxer of the two... but i know what ya mean
Mannnn Ricky needs to be himself, he aint a boxer he more a brawler he just needs to work some D and he'll be straight. he dosent need to try and get all fancy. IMO if he changes his style up to much i think he could lose this fight... even with Mali's glass hands

Who has the most KOs
Hatton should win, easy.
Especially know that he has Mayweather Sr.
Compare the Ricky and Paul.
Paul is a paper tiger. Hatton is the real deal compared to PM.
People also forget that this bad night saw him winning 120-110, 118-110, 120-110 on the cards. I had him the 118-112 victor. It was a one sided fight with two shaky rounds. The reaction on here was absurd. It was like winning a football match 7-1 but being criticized on your performance because you let in a goal.
Nicely put.

He also had a bad night against Lazcano but fighters have those every now again.

YO Hatton looks good, REALLY good. I always thought he was over-rated but if Hatton keeps this up, Mayweather Sr. will creat a WAYYYYYYYYY better Hatton
A lot of people forget he was undefeated before he fought the best fighter on the planet, i don't know why he gets hate for losing to Floyd.

I think we will see a new refreshed Ricky in the Paulie fight, Mayweather Snr will teach him a few things, maybe not change him inside out but he will make a difference and Hatton will be the victor come November.
I agree entirely. It's too late in the game for Hatton to change dramatically, but taking his good points and adding a little smartness by way of Mayweather will do him a world of good. I like Ricky. He's lacks a little finesse but always brings the excitement. And at the end of the day, since when did a pitbull have finesse? The guy's a little beast. Paulie doesn't stand a chance.

He lost 1 fight in 45, and that was to one of the best p4p fighters ever.
He doesn't gas out bad enough to lose.

Not sure if this has been posted.
Thanks Azza hadn't seen that.
Looks very different from the graham training sessions. No where near the intensity, it seems a lot more calm and relaxed and he seems to be making Hatton think more about what he is doing.
Will this benefit Hatton, I think so because at his age and this stage of his career he couldn't keep on maintaining that intensity. He is less likely to make silly mistakes and get caught rushing in. But it could also detract from him as that was his best asset, no stop action and wearing fighters down. He seems less likely to be able to do this if he is gonna try and box more. Hope he has the skill and picks new things up from Floyd Senior.
Only time will tell if this is a good move or not.
wWatch some of hattons earlier fights, hatton has actually got a good boxing brain.
Definitely.

wWatch some of hattons earlier fights, hatton has actually got a good boxing brain. I think mayweather is just going to revive the old hatton. Its true though, while he was training with billy graham, he was more or less training himself, using billy graham as a punch bag.
