You really CANNOT BLAME Mayweather sr. for THE LOSS!!!!

[nystate0fm1nd]

Hatton started out with the gameplan- jab your way in and try to go to the body. But as soon as his chin got tapped, the game plan was out the window and he was getting knocked down. He simply didn't listen to Mayweather Sr. I doubt he would have won regardless, seeing how good Pac was, but Hatton did not do what he was supposed to. When fighters don't listen to their trainers, 90% of the time nothing good comes out of it.

I was upset to see Hatton lose like that as early as he did, but like I said a while back- he's very overrated. He wouldn't beat any of the top 140-147 pounders because it's exactly like Freddie Roach said: he doesn't have the ability to adapt. And if you can't do that in boxing (I know a lot of guys on these forums never stepped foot into the ring so they have no idea what its like) you WILL not win against a decent opponent.

Im just saying... If Hatton woulda won Floyd sr gets credit, no? But now Hatton loses, he has nothing to do with it?
He was the head trainer, he called the shots in the Hatton camp. How could he not take any blame? Im not saying its all his fault, I said its both their fault. My 2 cents.

if hatton won following Sr's advice yes, he would get credit. but if hatton won without following floyd's advice then no. basic logic.

hatton didn't listen to anything floyd sr told him so senior shouldn't get any of the blame. Hatton was just a nervous reck and couldn't get his head straight in that fight. pac was relaxed and focused as always.

but you can blame him for talking ****!..sorryass coach

[nujabes77]

the guy trained him and came up with the game plan. and here you say it's not his responsibility?

Hatton was just a nervous reck and couldn't get his head straight in that fight.

That could come back to lack of preparations by the head trainer.
So it still would still come down to... theyre both to blame IMO.

Only reason I can think of why ugly Floyd Sr should be blamed is: Pacman and Roach was so infuriated with all the crap and syit talks of ugly Floyd Sr that they devised a plan to completely annihilate Hitman to embarass ugly Floyd Sr.

Mayweather Sr thought Hatton could overpower Pac. Sad to say Pac hits harder than Hatton.

No. You are wrong.

If Phil Jackson draws up a great play, and Kobe goes out and decides to go five-on-one, are you going to say Phil can't coach? You can teach and teach and teach. in the final analysis, the player has to execute.

Ricky owns this one.


Knock...You're off to an iffy start.

[JACK D. RIPPER]

Hatton sucks and has always ******. Not even Jesus could teach him proper technique.
