LOL, tasteless but still pretty funny
lol didnt cotto break his eye socket? innaccurate but still pretty funny
I dont think this is going to do ricky any favours at all, paulies a clever boxer, and has been for his whole career, hattons will have been a boxer only for a few months when they fight. after a few rounds i think hatton will revert back to his old style, but who knows if it will be too late by then.
Big Floyd's helping Ricky a lot, and it seems like Ricky's really into the new methods of training, it's something new to him, and something that'll benefit him in the long run.
Also, Big Floyd said hed be focusing on Ricky catching punches right in front of Paulie and throwing good punches to the body, which is good considering that if Floyd can polish Ricky's already very good body punching, it's curtains for Paulie

LOL, tasteless but still pretty funny
It looks like he's learning a lot, but the problem is, is it too much too quickly?
it could be a problem, but at the same time if Hatton is taught to fight smarter by using head movement + not expending all his energy .. he'll greatly benefit
**don't look at it just like Floyd Sr. is a more defensive coach, so he'll make Ricky into a boxer. read the above, those are just 2 things that Floyd Sr. will add to Hatton's game ... of course if all works out and Ricky can apply it
I think Hatton made this move because he realized Floyd, Jr. was A LOT better than he previously thought once he got in the ring with FMJ.
well yeah but Dios in all fairness who has Hatton gone up against that even closely resembled the talent/ability's of Mayweather?
granted Hatton's probably faced taller, bigger and or harder punchers, but who on Hatton's resume puts it all together like Floyd does?
you explained it best, and it's in the bold
{Quote}Hatton was looking at PBF and saying "yeah, he's pretty fast, but he can't go backwards as fast as I come forward. And if he tries to fight me inside, i'll eat him up. I'm much stronger and hit much harder and have a better chin than him. etc". Then, he realized that there is a whole other skill level that he wasn't exposed to.

agreed Team Hatton and even Ricky to an extend IMO under estimated Floyd's skill and abilities
that's why Hatton's training with Floyd Sr. he wants to tap into that "hidden talent"
and even if Floyd Sr doesn't turn Hatton into a slick boxer puncher, at the very least he'll make him more efficient and boxing smart
i think he looked confused in training as those tactics seem strange and foreign to him. come fight night when is he gonna try to box and when is he gonna brawl? and will may sr. try force him into something he is not
U know what i think there good for each other big Floyd and Hatton..
they seem like they got chemistry together which is down to Hatton respecting Floyd snr big time...
I think we will see a polished version of Hatton come fight night
u cant teach an old dog new tricks ...its a saying 4 a reason ...this might have worked againsts other fighters but not paulie ..u cant out box a boxer ..imo the real ricky would ko paulie bad ..this new boxer ricky is gonna lose a ud
