Hatton Camp Begin To Question Floyd Mayweather Sr.

[Main Event]

Can't blame Mayweather Sr for Hatton not moving his head...... But Manny was gonna kick his ass regardless

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

This was Rickys Fault, he didnt listen to SR. and Got KTFO as a result!!!!!!!!!!

It said on Bunce's boxing hour he didn't go in till Hatton was getting his hands taped . I was wondering if that could have anything to do with him getting blasted out so early because Froch said something similar last week , that he didn't get enough time on the pads before the fight and that's how he was poor at the start , plus it was odd to see Hatton coming in first before Pac when he was the ibo champion .

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

I knew from the start that Hatton's decision to dump Graham in favor of Mayweather was good, but after the Malignaggi fight, there wasn't a whole lot of improvement. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. There are some parts of the fight (with Pacquiao) that Hatton tried to apply some of the stuff he was boasting about, but ultimately the result of a fight is something like 25%-30% trainer...the rest is up to the fighter. We probably would've seen a more interesting fight had it gone into deeper rounds, but unfortunately Hatton got clipped with a monster punch. It's not to say Hatton was dominating, but he was always closing the distance and forcing Pacquiao to move around a lot. Regardless, Pacquiao was quick, accurate, strong and just overall a better fighter.

I think it's dumb to call into question a trainer's integrity solely on a fighter's performance on a SINGLE night. They probably didn't mesh or probably they did. Who knows? The point is we didn't get to see MUCH of Hatton because he was knocked into oblivion early in the fight, and it would be dumb to criticize Sr. for trying to break a loooooooooooooooooong habit that Hatton's had of being overzealous in his pressure style.

Ricky went into that fight with all of his heart and lost fair and square.

And... that's the reason why he lost, Mayweather got paid to do what he does. by the looks of it was doing a good job even had a good gameplan when he announced it to the press.

I felt bad for Floyd snr at the end of round 1 when he told Ricky that he hasn't listened to him from day 1 with that performance.

[Silkstone]

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.

Don't get me wrong, I've never been much of a fan of Floyd Sr. and as poster "samauri" said, one of the differences between floyd and roach is that Roach's guys know he believes in them 100% (not looking at thread, may have misquoted slightly) and is there for them through thick and thin. Roach would not have been late to training because of hankering for a fourthmeal. Neither would Graham.

However, that doesn't take away from the fact that Hatton was the only one in that ring once the bell rang. He was demolished in epic fashion, and he took it like a man. Hatton's camp, and a few of my fellow hatton supporters should start doing the same.

fawk this ugly gayweather. he aint **** and will never be ****. as for hatton he an alright guy , he just got knocked teh **** out by a better skilled boxer, no matter what kool aid gaywehater taught him wouldnt have worked.

[FLY TY]

Floyd Sr. never gave a **** about Hatton. He didn't believe in his fighter. Been saying this for ages.

Floyd Sr. was there for nothing but the money. That's the difference between him and Roach. Floyd Sr. can shoot his huge mouth off about "joke coach" and crap like that, but at least Freddie believes in his fighter 100% and is there for him through thick and thin.

how do you know sr.'s motives???

This was Rickys Fault, he didnt listen to SR. and Got KTFO as a result!!!!!!!!!!
