    This loss is not Floyd Sr.'s fault

    Everything he suggested Hatton do was the truth. As we saw after the fight when Merchant spoke to Roach, Freddie spent the last 2 months studying Hatton's lunging weakness (what Floyd Jr. originally exploited), and broke it down to a trigger of Hatton ****ing back on his shots.

    Manny stopped Ricky so effortlessly it was like he was mind reading, and that might be all he had to with Hatton using no strategy as usual. The little bit of listening Ricky did do, was good. Using his jab and the slight head movement on the way in into a clinch and infighting instead of his wild disaster.

    Ricky became reckless way too soon, and it doesn't help that he has 0 punch resistance when it comes to that lunging in he does. Even feather fisted Paulie stunned him in their fight. It's such a bad habit to get anyone to break when you see how quickly he goes to it, but I guess Sr. deserves backlash because of his overly harsh treatment of Roach, however I don't lay this on him.

      Roach told it right after the fight. His entire strategy was predicated on Hatton fighting recklessly as usual.

        It's Mayweather Sr.'s job to eliminate those flaws, Hatton started doing them from the opening bell. And the gameplan was all wrong.

            The gameplan was not wrong. Hatton took all of his wallops because he didn't move his head and get into position smart. He only looked good when he set up attacks with this imo. Sr. told the truth, but he is a prick.

              Its party Floyd Sr.'s fault man.. and that fact that he didnt even showed respect when his fighter went out cold is disgusting. Talks too much and disrespects a LOT.. what has he done in his career as a trainer that you could call accomplishment anyway? Freddie is a lot more accomplished than this joke coach trainer.

                I repeat like i said in another thread Floyd Sr is the most overrated trainer in recent boxing history. seriously like Roach has said if Floyd is so good why is he not in the HOF? Floyd Sr's biggest contribution to boxing was knockin up Floyd's mom. He was an ok fighter, and a overrated average trainer!

                  Hatton and Snr were badly suited as boxer and trainer. You just have to let Ricky fight, trying to make him think in the ring is only confusing him. I doubt Roach could've done any better.

                    In all honesty this loss was because of Hatton. Even after the first round Mayweather was telling Hattoon not to jump on Pacquiao or look to trade with him, and rather put his hands up. At the end of the day none of that matters, and Hatton got ****D.
