Hatton Camp Begin To Question Floyd Mayweather Sr.

[DarchinyFAN]

An egotistical Mayweather thats only in it for himself?

Say it ain't so....

Seriously it shows you how prodiced those 24/7 shows are, that they make it look like its all good.

Gareth Williams, lawyer and close friend of Ricky Hatton, is questioning the motives of trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. He says Hatton and Mayweather Sr. have had no contact since Ricky's two-round knockout loss to Manny Pacquiao last Saturday in Las Vegas. [details]

Wow... I didn't think Hatton's team would be that shameless. Ricky "The Excuse-ioner" Hatton.

[damned]

I honestly hope, for the sake of Ricky's integrity, that people in Hatton's camp don't start pointing fingers towards Mayweather Sr. Or anybody else. Motives mean sod all. Ricky went into that fight with all of his heart and lost fair and square. The implication that Floyd Sr. wanted Ricky to lose that fight is nothing short of absurd. You only have to listen to the advice Floyd was giving to ricky in the corner (which he ignored) to be sure of that. There is no excuse for what happened on May 2, whatsoever, and this is coming from a pretty big Hatton fan. I just hope that his camp does right by him and doesn't come out with any blame game nonesense.

I agree-There are only 2 things that beat Ricky Hatton that night,his lack of defense and Manny.It doesn't sound like Ricky is pointing the finger.Seems like it would be out of character for him,but his team need to realise that he just wasn't listening to Floyd sr.In all fairness,Floyd sr at least taught him a little bit of head movement and a jab. When its fight night,its just between the 2 fighters,and if they cannot listen to outside observations,then these things can happen.He just simply fought his old style which never worked with the elite fighters.His style is meant to be beaten by people who are crafty-no shame in losing to Floyd or Manny.He can live to fight another day...

Exactly. After Hatton seemingly ignoring the game plan and getting put to sleep in 2 i'm not suprised Mayweather snr. doesn't want to talk to him. Hatton made him look bad.

I agree.The last thing Floyd sr would want was for Ricky to lose-if they won,it would set them up for more big payday fights.I did hear that there were disagreements before the fight.In speculation,maybe that is why Ricky fought the wrong fight and ignored his trainer-out of frustration with him,sort of like rebelling against him....who knows.

No matter who he had in his corner, he still would have lost.

True statement.Ricky's style is meant for fast fighters to benifit from.Even if Hatton's defense was up,he still would of gotten broken down.
I even believe Junior Witter would be a handful for Ricky,due to his style.Ricky beats fighter who fight toe to toe.Junior is too awkward for him.The biggest fight out there for him is Oscar De La Hoya (if he got out of retirement)-and I think Oscar is finished boxing for sure.TBH
I see him beating Oscar as well,even before Oscar was "weight drained" with Manny,he looked poor against Steve Forbes.

I'm a big fan of Hatton's, but I totally agree with this.

wooow here come the excuses im not suprised.. well no wonder thier not in contact. hatton made floyd sr look horrible

Yeah, he did make Floyd Sr look like a moron and perhaps the worst
trainer on the planet. Hatton made Floyd go down to Buddy Mcgirt's
status......Ha Ha!!! Nah, I think Floyd is still a good trainer but Hatton
doesn't have the skill or technique to execute his teachings effectively
against elite fighters. I think once Hatton got in the ring with Manny
he just felt like he wanted to silence the critics by totally dominating
Manny & Manny paced himself, remembered his training & ROCKED Hatton
like the Casbah. Floyd Sr is a guy you have to take with a grain of salt
like Freddie Roach did. I don't know the specifics of their issues but
the fight would have meant more to me and regardless of what, would
have listened to Floyd Sr.

I think they should even owe it to FMS to have hyped the fight and probably have booked a few more PPV buys because of it.

My guess is that FMS just knew all along this will happen but he doesnt care as long as he got the $$$$. Screwed em real good.

[Mr. Philadel]

Hatton should question himself, for making such a dumb tactical mistake against the best fighter in the world. I didn't see a jab, no head movement and no thinking from Hatton at all. He should retire, because there's no champions i see him beating at 140 and especially 147.

CO-SIGN!!!!.........I dont like neither one of those clowns(Hatton or Sr.)......they BOTH overrated and it showed!

[kaiziken]

Floyd SR.and Floyd Jr. are jokes. All they do is trash talk and make excuses..
