All kidding aside... Hatton needs a new trainer

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Wow, that's the first time in a long time I heard Gatti had a good chin.
Don't make me go through his ko and tko losses and how many times he got dropped in his career.

Warrior yes, good chin, not really.

No one is implying that Arturo Gatti is jake LaMotta or david Tua. But for the amount of leather that Gatti ate, i would say that he has a better chin than Ricky Hatton.

I would hate to drive with ricky because he would only look to the right when we cross intersections.

Somehow, Hatton has bought into the concept that he can walk through people. In retrospect, it is amazing that he was able to close the distance on Kostya Tszyu.

Who comes rushing in on fighters like this...??

I think he needs someone who can teach him some defence. Keep his hands up. Stop JUMPING IN WITH THE SAME LEFT HOOK. Stick with Billy Graham but get another coach to work exclusively on head movement and keeping his hands up. Hatton is great, great footwork, great body shots, but that whole feint-pause-leapinglefthook **** just isn't going to cut it especially if your right isn't held high.

I say keep the ridiculous body belt, it helps Hatton work on his stamina (which was spot on tonight) and on his footwork and body punching. But work more on the head movement and hands being up.

By the way, good topic.

.

Yeah. When Mayweather mocks your style at the weigh-in, and you come into the ring and do EXACTLY what he was mocking you about, that probably isn't a good thing.

Ricky Hatton doesn't have the mental or physical capacities to change his ways now.

After Malignaggi he should just quit, win or lose, because Floyd would seriously violate that a$$ if they rematch.

The guy just isn't getting better in the areas that he needs to. Billy Graham has done a good job of steering Ricky to this point. You can't argue with 43-1, with the loss being to Mayweather.

But if Ricky wants to fight another 5 or 6 fights, he needs to switch it up.

Frankly, the Hatton that fought today would ALSO get beat by Bradley. Probably knocked out.

new trainer without a doubt..

but pointles at this late stage.
