[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Last week, Bob Shannon made his weekly to visit the grave of his son, Robert Shannon Junior, who died aged 21 in a car crash back in 2003. During the course of laying flowers and lighting candles, the veteran local trainer spoke to the spirit of his only son about the rumours of a Ricky Hatton comeback and his intense desire to train “The Hitman” should the former lineal light-welterweight world champion and WBA welterweight titlist return to the ring.

Shannon seems an extremely superstitious nice guy, and deserves to have a big name fighter. He seems to think it huge for his own legacy. I hope he's tougher with Hatton. Dooley runed it for me by all the repetition, taking four times as much space as was needed, thus spoiling a nice article.

Hatton is really not "returning to his roots" as he's not going back to Billy Graham who trained him for 11 years? Maybe because he'd fired Graham, it's a pity that they split. Graham even retired himself, because he'd been so closely associated with this one boxer, just like some of the old-time trainers sometimes did. I recall Hatton's reason was that Graham's health was too uncertain for him to continue with him., and all his boxers were leaving one by one.

Graham later sued him for about $2.5 million, and I believe they settled out of court.
