Ricky Hatton To Decide Billy Graham's Fate

[Tuggers1986]

I wonder why Hatton came back without Billy.

I never knew that. Maybe a change of trainer would be good for him. I just think Hatton & Graham seem too close for that to happen.

Maybe a good trainer who could teach him better boxing skills would be good for him. Like what Cotto shown in the Mosley bout. Most people seen him has a brawler and 1 dimensional body puncher until that fight.

Cotto is a much more gifted boxer than Hatton.

Hatton could try coach of the year, Enzo, but that would possibly mean working again with Wank Warren something Ricky would not like.

nonsense. mark my words. look at the source (the sun), its complete rubbish

so you obviously do not believe it.

enzo has been good for joe unfortunately for enzo and joe fighters like roy jones and bernard hopkins were either scared or never saw enough money in a fight with joe so joe has never been truly tested. what i am getting at is enzo also does not have enough experience of overseas opponents and world class fighters.

ok that makes sense. hatton and graham would benifit from going to a gym like freddie's or something similar and experience training and sparring with more fighters like floyd hatton is great but to finish off his legacy he needs to return better than ever.

I'd agree to that.

Technically Cotto is far superiior to Hatton however he does'nt posses any more physical gifts than Hatton ,Cotto's hand speed is probably on a par with Hatton's ,Cotto punches harder but i dont think Cotto is any more athletically gifted than Hatton its just that Cotto has made a consious decision to Box & fight throughout his career ,where as Ricky was 43-0 using the style he adopted so maybe there lies the reason he has neglected to adapt his style wrightly or wrongly


any fighter can improve technically if they get the right coaching & are prepared to take on board what there being shown ,Dennis Andries ,Lennox Lewis ,etc

It worked for him...as if a heavybag is any different

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.

Cotto proved to me that he has athletic superiority to Hatton by throwing shots with authority while moving backwards.

Ever seen Hatton do that?

im thinking it might be time for a change for hatton. i mean dont get me wrong grahams a great trainer, but hattons at that point in his career where it all might just start to get a little stale. you same routine for all these years n all that ****. i think a change of coach would be good for hatton, he should definately consider it.
