Ricky Hatton To Decide Billy Graham's Fate

[Tuggers1986]

I don't mean to belittle Graham. But what exactly makes him a great trainer?

Did he diversify his fighter?
Did he teach new skills?
Did he devise any brilliant tactical plans?
Has he succeeded with a variety of fighters?

He kid with a singular ability and rode that singular ability to 42 wins..and 1 controversial win, and one stunning loss against good boxers,
I am not a trainer. And even I saw that the accuracy of Louise Collazo's punches meant that Floyd was going to land pinpoint shots and knock Ricky out.

Graham was **** in Hattons corner last week. He wasn't giving Hatton the right advice.

To be fair he wasn't giving Hatton much advice.

No sir. You don't find many top boxers using a heavy bag as their primary training tool.

Hatton used that goofy bag as his main work. Yes, i know that he also sparred. But the difference b/w a heavy bag and this bag is that this bag is wiiiiiiide and doesn't help to tune his accuracy AT ALL.

Hatton used that bag as his main work? How do you know? Because that's what it showed on 24/7? So Floyd uses that pitty-pat routine as his main work?

I guess it hasn't sunk in that the body-belt is a unique piece of equipment that Hatton uses so that's why HBO decided to focus on it. Plus Ricky uses hand pads as part of that routine, he moves about, hits the pads and hits full power to the body belt. He then puts it into action in sparring. That's how training works.

Who hits the hand pads? Only idiots. Your opponents aren't going to hold out their hands for you to hit, so it makes no sense to do hand pads.

Dur.

u chat some **** u do how may world titles have u won

So, only people with world titles can criticize a trainer?



Before 12/8:

Billy Graham: "Ricky is bigger and much stronger than Floyd. Definitely. I have no doubt about that."

Dios Dominicano: "Floyd Mayweather is a very strong fighter. He is as strong, if not stronger, than Ricky. They are underestimating FMJ's strength and power."

After 12/8:

Ricky Hatton: "He felt big and strong to me. "

Calm down Doris, you picked the favourite to win, you must be related to Jesus.

That's like saying, "Just because we've never saw Paulie Malignaggi KO a world class opponent with one punch doesn't mean he's incapable of doing it."

no its not cause changing your style is nothing to do with Physical attributes its technique

Paulie Malignaggi has far better technique than Ricardo Mayorga however we know who has more power in thier respective weight divisions ,thats because power is a gift that incorparates physical attributes

True. There's no way these fighters show their whole hand on a reality show made for everyone to see. That would be foolish of them.
That bag was just to give fans and idea of what's going on...couldn't have been the main thing.

With that said, Ricky Hatton came on the inside against Floyd as if Floyd was that bag.

Do focus mitts sharpen your accuracy?
Does a 3 foot wide bag sharpen your accuracy??

Please tell me, sir, what boxing skill gets sharpened by fourteen rounds on a huge body bag. Do you think Hatton sparred after those 14 rounds on the BB? Seriously? And if you read my post, I said that he sparred.

You still seem very wounded by last saturday's debacle. You are going to have to get over that.

Squeal....

we all agreed to start anew after the fight. And here you go with the name-calling. We can do it however you want.

And no. I didn't just pick the favourite. I called the ebb and flow of the fight and picked that Hatton's corner would quit within a minute and a half of when they did.

Do you know what 'Dios" means?
