[NEW] Ricky Hatton Blames Pacquiao Loss on Mayweather Sr.

[Pretty Boy32]

I wonder will Ricky go back to Graham?

[daggum]

he was winning the second round by a country mile. most delusional statement i've ever heard in boxing history.

He always says that, hes an idiot....
Mayweather Sr. is better then any other trainer out there......

[Blue Heffner]

Ricky should blame Graham for all the things he didn't learn that he should've. I think Mayweather Sr is a good trainer. Hatton didn't listen.

Hattons a ***in fool...

It's a hard thing just accepting defeat and having no reasons for why you lost !!

Hatton's just thinking of any little thing that wasn't quite right ? But when are things perfect in life.....

If he'd have won the fight, the training camp would have been excellent like he says after all his victorys !!

[jpunieves]

blame them all because hatton didn't follow the fight plan... blame them all because they didn't gave hatton the proper attitude to follow a fight plan.

blame those kool-aid and fries!

It's Hatton's fault. His handlers made it clear they considered Floyd a consultant before the fight, not the head trainer. They messed everything up downgrading his standing in camp. They also sabotaged everything Floyd Sr. was trying to do by doing second training sessions behind his back. How are you going to have two chefs in there for a big fight like that?

Mayweather, even though he's a favorite to bash on here, only tried to teach Ricky common sense. He didn't try to drastically change Hatton. He made his intentions with him known to everybody the moment he was chosen to train Ricky. Don't just bull rush in there with no defense (ahem check hook remember), use a jab and head movement to get inside.

Everyone who saw the reports and interviews of Floyd Sr. before the fight would know that Sr. had a bad feeling about Ricky's chances.

After the first knock down, you can tell Ricky wasn't in his right mind when Floyd chastised him for not following the set plan. He went back out there
with his own plan of attack to bum rush Manny.

In the end, Ricky could at least blame himself for also not adhering to the golden rule: Protect Yourself At All Times.

[El Jesus]

seeing hatton lay down twice, hes just not the same. im not interested in watching Hatton get hurt. ive never been his biggest fan, but just like taylor, i dont want guys getting hurt.

[MindBat]

The way he went down in those fights, especially the condition he was in immediately after Manny knocked him out, raises questions about the full recovery of his abilities.

He'll have to be very impressive in his next outings to ease some concerns.

Hatton-Marquez for me is the best possible match-up. The question is will Marquez bite again at JWW? An alternative would be a decent tune-up match for the meantime, it won't hurt his chances, but at least he would regain his confidence since beating Paulie Mags.
