    Hatton has treated Billy Graham like ****!

    Put aside whatever opinion you have of Graham's training abilities. Put aside whether you think it was the right or wrong decision for Ricky to leave him.

    My main problem is that Ricky has sat back and let Floyd make comments like 'Rickys been training himself'. Last night on that Hatton chat show, Ricky watched Floyd make the same comment.

    If he was a man, he would have sat up and said 'Well I just want to let it be known that I'm grateful for all Billy did for me, and there are no hard feelings between us.' But instead he just sat back. I think that's disgusting imo and I've lost a lot of respect for him for it.

    If it's time to leave your trainer, fair enough, but atleast show loyalty to the man who watched over you as though you were his son.

    He's actually said countless times that theres no hard feelings with him and Billy Graham. And that he doesnt want to get involved in any spat between Floyd Sr and Billy.

    I think Hatton probably should've moved on a long time ago. Billy seemed to think that using the Tyszu template would work against every world class fighter that Ricky fought. And he was falling to bits in the gym with injuries. Ricky let his heart rule his head on that front for too long.

      Ricky has also made Billy an extremely wealthy man for a relatively "poor" trainer.

        I'm with you, man.

        I think it's because it makes him look better- the notion that he was handicapped with having a poor trainer throughout his career. So by saying nothing, specifically to this suggestion, it makes it seem that all his success was down purely to him.

        I font get why Floyd Sr is being such a ****, either. I mean, I don't think Graham was an amazing trainer, but damn, these insults are cutting.

          It seemed that way at the start mate, but now Ricky seems to be letting it slide. I would have told Mayweather that Billy, whatever you think of his lack of training abilities, is like family, so don't slag him off.

          As I was saying he just sat there last night as Floyd slagged him off, and there's nothing worse than that for me. Just saying you won't get involved is a cop out.

            I'm sure Billy was paid well and realistically it affects no one here.

                  yeah couldn't agree more with that. You're onto something there. I want to stress that I have always liked Hatton, but this has really pissed me off. If your training is so new and exciting, just get on with it Ricky, and stop dragging down your old camp.

                    5 Round fight of Floyd Sr. Vs Billy! Make it happen. Damn! Floyd Sr. is still a pretty strong dude. I've seen him hit the bag.
