Does Ricky Hatton owe Floyd Sr. an apology

[Scott9945]

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.

There is probably a better chance of Mayweather returning to Top Rank than Floyd Sr and Hatton working together again. It was a bad idea to begin with and that bridge is now burned behind both of them.

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"

I think I'm in love.

Hatton would have been better off with Billy Graham.

Floyd Sr. was trying to turn Hatton into a smart boxer. He can never be one. Floyd Sr. should have known this. Even "joke coach" Roach knew. Now the joke is on Floyd Sr. OWNED!

I disagree with that. Hatton needed a new trainer! The problem was, is that Hatton left it too late in his career to ditch Graham.

I hate to say this, but it is actually Floyd Snr. who owes Hatton an apology.

When you are being paid MILLIONS of dollars just to train somebody you should at least arrive on time for some of the training sessions.

Also, I was incredulous when I learnt that Floyd Snr. did not arrive at the arena on Saturday night until 25 minutes before the fight!

On the stool, after the 1st Round, the first person Ricky looks at is Lee Beard and looks annoyed at the sound of Mayweather's voice.

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.

Mayweather Sr. wouldn't care if he apologizes or not, he still got paid for working with him.

**** Floyd Sr. He was late to the fight and didnt even walk with Ricky to the ring.
Ricky doesnt owe him ****.
Floyd needs to apologize for being such an unprofessional prick.

I used to like Floyd Snr. but it seems that the man is merely a pompous moron who cares not one bit about his fighters.

That doesn't excuse Ricky's performance though.

Nooooo, The joke is on Ricky.

Did Floyd Senior do his job? Yes. He was teaching Ricky defense. And how not to be a robotic, overly aggressive idiot. Ricky ignored all of that.

If you teach your kids the right thing, and they go out and do some dumb ****, if the joke on YOU> Of course not,

Ricky is a fully functioning adult. He owns his performance.

Sigh.


That's an unfortunate statement.

Floyd Sr. needs to stay away from training fighters without the basics already ingrained in them.

Hatton needs a chin implant after his chin was ruined by Mayweather Jr.
