Billy Graham - 'I wouldn't have let Hatton fight Pacquiao'

[alza1988]

Of all the people watching Ricky Hatton lose to Manny Pacquiao in two brutally one-sided rounds last Saturday no one will have felt more sadness than Hatton's former coach Billy Graham. For so long the training Ying to Hatton's boxing Yang, Graham watched with a mixture of sadness and frustration as the man he still rates as one of the world's finest boxers repeatedly walked onto Manny's hammer blows.

STFU Graham.

well its good that he got sacked then - ha ha ha
because there's nothing wrong with losing
but there's something wrong with not trying (m.jordan)
which is what mayweather does. he lost,
so what. at least we dont have to speculate
and we know pacquiao is the better fighter.
and he got paid well too.

Great article.

In hindsight, Hatton was finished after the loss to Mayweather. I agree that he should hang them up, and enjoy life.

bull**** from graham. night before fight he said hatton will beat him

[gopi11]

I almost took him seriously until I came upon this:

“For me the Manny fight was a hard lesson, but you cannot blame Ricky for not turning that fight down. A peak Ricky Hatton beats Manny, too big, too skilled and too strong"
