    Ricky Hatton-Floyd Mayweather Sr. Deal Almost Done

    The strong rumor reported many weeks ago on BoxingScene.com is on the verge of becoming a reality. The Manchester Evening News reports that unless a serious issue comes up, Ricky Hatton is going to announce that Floyd Mayweather Sr. will train him for the upcoming title bout with IBF junior welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi on November 22. Floyd Sr's son, Floyd Mayweather Jr, gave the Manchester fighter his only loss last December. [details]

      I wonder if this would affect DLH in any way.

      And I still think their styles are too different to work out well.

                well i am not shocked as the rumours have been circulating for a while. My one question would be what if anything will mayweather snr change? I personally see him trying to tweak little things like his head movement, trying to control him from rushing in and getting caught wayyyy to often. any thoughts?

                Is it not way too late to change anything about ricky?

                If ricky starts trying to roll punches like mayweather jnr I think I might burst out laughing!!!!!

                whatever happens I would love to see this work, but will it?

                  Generally I agree with you. I don't think floyd is to ****** to change rickys whole style, but tweak things like head movement and not getting caught as often.

                    I agree with you, Ricky Hatton has been an offensive fighter ever since, I think what he needs is an offensive minded trainer who can help him more with his own style of fighting and improve it more.
