      It is very hard to say whether or not hatton would go to a different trainer this far in his career. Graham brought him up to be the fighter he is today, training him from such a young age and bringing him to the point where he is making 40 million in one fight, he could not have done it without him. But at the same time, Graham at this point may be unable to bring anything to the table that ricky doesnt already have, he is gettin old and his body is wearing on him. Maybe it would be a good move to ask graham to step down. But at the same time, he will not have the bond that he had with graham with any other trainer out there.

        I think they should bring someone in as a co-trainer to teach Hatton a few new things. His fighting style has barely changed in the last few years and he doesn't adjust well in fights.

          Its one thing if Billy Graham is retiring due to his deteriorating physical condition, but suggesting that Hatton should replace him is absurd.

          At this point in his career, Hatton's style is set in stone. It really doesn't matter is sombody shows him something new, because when he is in that ring, he is going to do what works for him, and I believe he has already found out what that is.

          All a trainer is really good for now is providing motivation, working the pads, and cheering in the corner.

            I agree that they have done very well to date. however they were both exposed in the mayweather fight. neither boxer or trainer knew enough they had no plan B, so maybe he needs a knew trainer i like freddie roach he would work well with hatton.

              I don't believe this at all. Billy and Ricky are like father and son. I don't believe for one minute he would get rid of Billy.

                  They wern't exposed at all. They were expected to lose and did. How can the underdog in a fight ever be exposed?
