    Hatton owes Floyd Sr nothing except for the fee that they agreed on. Mayweather constantly being late and not walking back to the locker room with his fighter was highly unprofessional.

      well hatton needs to learn the basics. He did nothing that he was told to do! He basically was fighting and banking on the fact he was bigger. He didn't setup nopunches...he was throwing bombs from the hip....it was ******est execution ever!

              Ricky showed a lack of professionalism and messed up big time in the ring. Floyd however has his share of responsibility in what went wrong. They should've apologized to each other but I don't see that happening.

              Having said that, I actually think Ricky should stick with Floyd if he is to fight again provided they come to an understanding and reconcile their differences. They are an odd pairing but when they're on good terms they have a great chemistry as we saw on the 24/7 series. People forget that Hatton spent his whole career with one trainer who was also his best mate and he only just had his 2nd fight with Floyd. One turned out good and the other bad. In my opinion, they should've done a couple of fights with lesser opponents before taking on someone like Pacman. This would've given them a chance to develop more trust of each other in fights. Of course hindsight is always 20/20.

                maybe hatton lost confidence in floyd when floyd started showing up late for work outs.

                  Neither Hatton nor Floyd knew what the **** they were talking about. One minute it was "be smart, move your head, jab your way in, keep your hands up" and before this it was "keep the pressure on, rough him up, get inside and destroy him with body shots".

                  Unprofessional isn't even the word. These guys just don't know what they are doing.

                    When you get demolished in a round or two, it's not a coaching error.....

                      After 12 weeks of prep where I'm sure Mayweather ingrained head movement, a good jab and smart pressure, Ricky throws everything out the window to fight Manny senselessly.

                      Ricky went back to his old ways, so far back, it looked like he was looking for a familiar voice in the corner, perharps Billy Graham's. Watch the end of the 1st round.

                      I think Mayweather Sr. did his job and Ricky owes him an apology.
                      Big Floyd gave him good advice in the corner, and I'm SURE that there was a game-plan that Hatton did not follow. There's no way Floyd said to him "Aight man... Stumble yo ass out deh' wit' that half step bo-**** you do an keep yo hand by yo ******* with this man. He lil azz hell man. man aint got no powah"

                      I really don't believe that. Ricky is a "fookin" idiot for not learning anything in his entire time with Floyd senior. I'm glad he nearly got his head taken off. Serves him well for thinking he knew what he was doing.

                      This quote must haunt him now.. Between rounds Floyd said to him "... you shoulda been listening from day one"
