Floyd Mayweather Sr.:As for Ricky Hatton, he might have been just scared

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Ricky was confused. Might've helped if Sr had bothered to turn up on time to training or figured out that they were fighting a southpaw.

Hatton wasnt scared but overconfident, He thinks he could just bully Pac around and pac's punches wouldnt do anything to him.

I'd agree with this.

More hit and hold Hatton would have done the job better, saying that I don't think Hatton looked even particularly strong, from what I remember Pacman could escape the few times Hatton did try and wrap him up.

Hatton was smashed and rightly so, but he's probably feeling the consequences of being unprofessional.

Not Sr's fault. Pac>Hatton. Period.

I agree with that statement, people have double standards.
They say Pacquiao is a much better fighter than Hatton and that Hatton could never beat him. I agree with that.
On the other hand, they say Floyd.Sr sucks because Hatton lost. That's ******, even with the help of Eddie Futch and Cus d'Amato, Hatton would have still got knocked out.

Which one is it?

[Weebler I]

Wtf he talking about scared? does a scared man hunt his opponent down and take the fight to him? no a scared man does what Dirrell did and runs for 12 rounds. Ricky got up off the canvas twice to go at Pac, scared my ****in ass.

One of the main problems in the fight was Hatton stood there and tried to box Pac like Sr wanted him to, was never going to work. He should've used his Billy Graham tactics, prolly still have lost but would've gave himself a chance.

lmfao...what???

Both delajoto and hattons' problem in there fights with PACMAN was hiring floyd sr. as a trainer!

what??floyd sr didnt train oscar for the pacman fight..nacho did

Hatton just didn't have the skill set. He spent his entire career just mindlessly walking down and bull rushing opponents, when there's an actual art behind being a pressure fighter.

Plus Sr was only what? 2 or 3 fights deep with Hatton? You can't turn dog **** into diamonds that fast.

Even with Oscar, Sr. tried giving Oscar that shoulder roll defense and Oscar ended up paying for it. Vargas and even Gatti were able to hit Oscar everytime Oscar tried to put his chin in his shoulder.

That only works with his son because his son has no ****in kneck and a pea head lol. When Floyd Jr tucks in his chin behind his shoulder and leans back, Floyd's kneck and head are soo small that his shoulder is actually able to guard him pretty well. When everyone else tries that, their head's are still vulnerable and sticking too far out off their shoulder. You can just hit em on the top of the head and still score points.

lol Anyways point is, Sr just had a bad fighter.

After reading your post, your real point is that Dela-Hoya and Hatton have large heads.

where the fck are u getting all these statements from???

He aint making it up...i saw that interview a while ago (about a month or 2 back now?)

[Chuckguy]

I dont know why Sr gets so much ****. He trained Ricky and Rcky didnt do anything he was suppose to. INstead he went head hunting with no D. Its not Sr fault he ditched the gameplan. The knock out alone was totally worth the $59.99 price tag!
