ricky should have stuck with graham

Ricky Should have listened to what he was told. People havent realised, mayweather sr actually had the plan to give hatton a real chance.

Apparently ricky said the plan for him was to move to his left a jab then smother. This is pretty much EXACTLY what I was saying he needed to do before the fight.

The way to beat to Pacquaio is to step around to your left and try and jab to make him lunge in, then counter. Hatton obviously isnt a counter puncher so he had to smother and close down after moving to the left, but the idea was there.

Mayweather Jr will know this, so will roger, wait till the end of the year for confirmation.

he made graham his scapegoat in his first loss against floyd jr, but he should have stuck with him. he sacked graham with the intention of changing his tactics and becoming a 'new' ricky hatton, little did he know he was going to revert back to his old tactics in his second biggest fight of his life a year later. he should have stuck with graham, at least with graham he would have brawled with pacman and been GOOD at it instead of brawling and being crap at it. he's stopped brawling for a year and a half so he wasn't even good at his old style because it was so long since he fought like a brawler that he now can't even fight properly like a brawler.

sticking with graham would have meant keeping his old style up until now, but at least he would have lasted a little bit longer with pacman because graham would have said 'brawl and keep pressuring him', ricky didn't really pressure at all.

graham cared about ricky, he loved ricky, he would have died for ricky. they had a bond that was unconditional. mayweather sr is a son of a b*tch who is only in it for the money, he turned up 45 minutes before the fight, 3 hours later then scheduled, acted like he didn't care and as soon as ricky got k.o'd left the building. ricky's father himself said 'ricky wants to be loved' when referring to his personality, and graham loved him.

I disagree, Hatton had the right trainer, he just didn't listen to Floyd Sr. Graham would have been of 0 help to Hatton

what im saying is if your going to revert back to your old tactics, at least be good at it. he went into the fight knowing he was going to ignore floyds tactics, so why go to floyd in the first place.

Good for you, doggie biscuit on the way.

Mayweather SR had the plan hatton didnt follow it, the end.

Graham would have had 0 plan imo.

Ps. I ve just seen your thread, it talks about the fienting and moving, which was the advice given in the corner no?

Does the thread talk about the pre fight intructions hatton supposedly had to move to his left?

ricky should have stuck with graham
