Floyd Jr: "Hatton is a much better fighter than before with my father in his corner"

[shadeyfizzle]

I see all these articles of Floyd saying Htton was finished when he beat him in 07. But i know I've read an article here around the time of Hatton-Malignaggi that quoted floyd as saying hatton was a much better fighter with his father in his corner and may even beat him. I will give 10k to the poster that finds that source. Thank you.

He said it after the Malinaggi fight.

He said it after the Malinaggi fight.

Yes I know he did...but I cant find the article in which he said it. I'm pretty certain he said a bunch of other things in that interview that contradicts what he is saying today.....including i believe predicting that Hatton would beat Pacquiao.

I never heard him say that... but he isn't gonna say he is a worst fighter with his dad in his corner is he? Whether they get on or not he wont, he is just gonna praise his dad as a trainer. Let's be fair... anyway, I don't think Hatton was exactly the same fighter he was after the Mayweather loss but I still don't think it had much affect on him for the Pacquiao fight if any.

Roach said he wasn't the same as he used to be before the Mayweather loss too, as did Mayweather Sr. but I still don't think it played too much affect on his fight with Pacquiao, Pacquiao beat him fair and square.

It was on an article here at boxingscene from a few months ago that i remember reading that I cant find anymore. I wanted to bring it up because in that article floyd was saying that if his dad had been in hatton's corner when he fought him....hatton would have probably beat him. But nowadays he's saying that Hatton was fnished way back in 07 after he beat him....when just a few months ago he was singing a very different tune.

Yes and Mayweather was right. Too bad Hatton was an idiot and wen't in there with his hands low, he paid the price.

i call him hands down hatton the bully of boxing lollollol

[Pullcounter]

all you got to know is that floyd said hatton didn't follow floyd sr's gameplan.

logically you can infer that floyd is saying that if hatton did follower the gameplan, then the result would be different. which means pac would not have been KOed hatton in 2 and therefore out perform floyd.

Wait a minute! He was right in saying Ricky is a better fighter under Floyd Sr, but then he went in there and forgot the absolute most basic thing -- defense?

So what is it: He's a better fighter, or he is so bad that he even forgot to defend himself?

This is the thing: they always magically become **** after Manny beats them.

"Oscar was just a corpse, he couldn't defend himself, he couldn't even throw punches."

"Diaz was a bum, a walking punching bag."

"Hatton was always a glorified club fighter, he didn't even defend himself."


All these guys tried to defend themselves, all of them threw punches. Only problem is they stepped in to the ring with a much faster guy. Take a look at what Manny did in the Hatton and Oscar fights: while Oscar was defending himself, he smacked his guard down with the left hand and forced an opening for the right hand.

Against Hatton, the second knockdown came while Hatton was defending himself with his guard up. The knockdown punch was partially blocked.

I don't accept the argument that Hatton didn't defend himself. The guy tried his best but was much too slow for Manny. Oscar's main problem was he has no clue how to fight southpaw's.

That's how it is.

My thoughts exactly.
