i would of told him to box him fug that shite standing right in front of him. thats pacs strength

 

lol u mad brah

 

It makes no difference if you know what's coming when it's coming too fast for you to do anything about it.

 

Terrible. As a trainer you have to establish a connection and a homogeneous rapport with your student so that you can communicate your ideas and incarnate it to perfect action. Which Sr failed miserably on all counts.

A trainer is as good as the overall result he gets.

 

I thought so to, I didn't think Pac would carry the power up. Considering how long he took to dispose of Diaz.


I picked Pac by TKO 10..



Floyd Sr gave him good advice but Hatton didn't listen and was adjusted to a style that worked for him many times in the past.

 

Honestly leading up the fight I thought Hatton might be too big for Pacquiao, considering he had fought at welterweight (although not succesfully). My mind completely changed when I saw the 24/7 and they asked Roger on his opinion, to which he replied, "Ricky Hatton should win, he should win.

To someone who can read in between the lines it meant, "Well you know, my brother is training this guy so what am I suppose to say, he's bigger so he "should" win."

I knew Roger didn't respect Ricky as a boxer, he said that Hatton was just tough but nothing special.

Another moment was when Hatton fought Malignaggi, he got hit one time damn good, where he had to reset his body. I thought, damn if Paulie can hit him like that, Pac is going to mess him up.


That aside, don't let Mayweather Sr's personality fool you, that man is a great trainer one of the best. But you have to be a fighter that tailors to his style, not the other way around.

 

One last thing, full credit to Pacquiao for this fight. That was a crazy night, in my mind Pac's finest moment.

 

The advice was good, doesn't mean anything when your fighter doesn't have the IQ or capability to see it through though.

 

Good post. It wasnt sr's fault hatton didnt follow the gameplan.

 

Hatton went in there with his own agenda you can tell right from the opening bell.

 

sr didnt work on anything in the camp

he was doing orthodox padwork to prepare for a southpaw and had sparring partners bigger and stronger than hatton

i could have trained hatton better than that peasant.

 

A blind man could see that Hatton should've moved his head more and kept his hands up. That's standard advice anyone would give for someone who's coming forward wide open and getting tagged. The problem with Floyd Sr was not his in-ring advice, it was his titanic ego, lack of dedication, and unprofessionalism throughout the whole training camp. He's a joke of a trainer.

 

At the time, watching the fight live, I thought he was giving the correct advice. I even remember Senior telling him he should have listened to him from the beginning. And in the corner, it did look as though Rick had too many voices - with Beard trying to give instructions too.

 

so people are just going by the corner advice?

when has a single minute of corner advice change everything?

peasant sr had 8 weeks to devise a gameplan and have hatton rehearse it over and over again till it became second nature, he didn't do that.
