    Cotto and Margarito are fighters who tried to ''rough'' Pacquiao up, Hatton tried roughing Pacquiao up ( which went against Mayweather's teachings) I really don't see how you can attribute blame to Mayweather sr. Even if Hatton perfected his crude style he'd still get battered ( see Margarito and Cotto).

      I just think that Hatton was set in his ways and was never gonna change up that much. He was doing fine until he got dropped the first time, then he didnt know if he should box, or hold and hit. he gameplans confused em i think. Only thing Sr. shoulda told him was to move his head more when coming in. he cant outbox nobody.

        Hatton still woulda lost, but he shoulda tried to make pacquiao fight inside a bit more. Sr. tried to turn him into a completely different fighter, and against a top level fighter like pacquiao, thats not smart.

            There was a moment early on when Ricky managed to shove Manny to the ropes but Manny ducked and got out of there within a fraction of a second. At that moment the fight was lost. It instantly made it clear that Ricky would need to use a totally different style and he just didn't have it.

              Hatton went back to his old style in rnd2 and was winning it before Pacman decided to start his concert early and end it right there and then.

                Really Mayweather Sr. needed more time than just one fight to get him ready for Pacquiao. It may have never worked out but given the time that they spent together it was impossible for them to build up the relationship needed.

                I think Floyd Sr. didn't do a great a job but the question remain even if he did a great job was it possible to really make a big difference given how much they worked together (or lack of).

                  Ricky got what he deserved. Just like Naz. He kicked the guy who brought him up from nothing out of his corner for some big-name trainer who didn't give a **** about him. Mayweather Sr almost didn't make to the ****ing stadium in time for the fight.

                  People said Calzaghes dad in his corner would be his downfall, yet Joe was loyal to his father and retired undefeated after a decade as world champion. Imagine what Manny Stewart would have done to Joe; he'd have ruined him.

                  As George Foreman said years ago; when it comes to guys that have an unusual style youre tempted to make them correct all the unorthodoxed things they do, but if you do that, you will lose the complete fighter.
