Was Ricky Hatton's quick destruction by PAC due mainly to Floyd Sr's incompetence?

[-Boxzilla-]

Def snr is Obviously partially to blame. But hatton was made to order for PAC as well. And don't forget people were praising snr in hattons performance right before the PAC fight.

On 24/7 when Hatton was in the gym waiting to start training and Floyd Sr is at a drive-thru ordering Kool-aid i thought that was funny as ****.

Unprofessional but still funny as ****

And Hatton would of gotten waxed even if Jesus Christ was running his corner.

I mean watching those 24/7's says it all, Mayweather Sr. didnt train Ricky ****. They were doing mitts in the orthodox stance. Floyd is the one who's always late for practice. He burned Ricky in training not holding him back on roadwork. That fool spend the whole ****ing camp making poems rather than a gameplan. Sr. and Roger got featherweight sparring partners for Hatton too. If I was Ricky I would have not paid those frauds. I just feel real sad for Hatton and his fans. Thoughts...

nahhh.

IMO, Roach simply read Hatton so thoroughly, and made the perfect plan based on that knowledge and with Manny executing that plan flawlessly, it MADE floyd sr LOOK incompetent. In other words:

Perfect Plan + Flawless execution = 2nd round Hatton EPIC KO.

[SirTomJones]

Hatton fought in the wrong way.

That said Manny would have still won anyway. Just would have been a harder night for him

[bboy80]

They were both as bad as each other Mayweather for being crap and not even turning up for training, and Ricky for lunging like an idiot as usual.

Ricky should never of sacked Graham he was to old and set in his ways to switch trainers and think it would work.

[physiker]

I always thought that PAc could have done it in 30 seconds, if he wanted to.

Told a friend to bet all he had for a KO in rounds 1 or 2. Didn't listen to me.

[TheKza]

For a quick destruction, yes. If he had someone more competent he might have lasted a little longer.

Nah, Hatton's defense was real bad against Pac.. The opposite of what Mayweather would have tried to teach him. i think its hattons own fault for putting on a sloppy display.. also hattons girlfriend went to stay with him a few weeks before the fight.. im sure their sexual activities had something to do with his poor display.. remember Mayweather Sr trained Hatton for the Malignaggi fight, and that was one of his best performances where he outboxed paulie..

LMAO!!!

Did you just compare Malignaggi to Pacquiao???

[TouchyAndalou]

Nah, It didn't matter who was in his corner.

Ricky Hatton just isn't in Manny Pacquiao's class.

I agree that Pacquiao was always going to win that fight, but I actually see Hatton giving a better account of himself with Billy Graham in his corner. Before hooking up with Mayweather Sr, Hatton at least bobbed and moved his head on the way in, in a way like a poor man's Tyson. Not properly preparing for a southpaw was also a major oversight, especially considering that said southpaw is as quick as Pacquiao and Hatton has had documented issues with southpaws in the past.

[Agent57]

I don't think it was mainly due to Floyd but he certainly did some damage.

I remember watching the hours leading up to the fight and Floyd was nowhere to be seen and it looked to be touch and go as to whether he would turn up or not. Hardly a situation to put a fighter at ease and put him in the mindset for the biggest fight of his life.

Having said that Hatton brought it on himself for mistreating Graham and casting him aside then hiring a totally unsuitable trainer!
