Actually it was. Didn't see Roger on 24/7 (and yes roger copies everything floyd sr says)? "As big as you are as little as he is? If you don't win you better give me your boxing gear so I can burn it as you won't need it anymore" Basically that was the Mayweather thinking. Hatton was always losing the fight, but the reason it wasn't competative was because with the exception of Jeff, the Mayweather trainers just aren't that good, they've got a name and that's it, and Freddie Roach has them ***** slapped.
You're basing your entire argument around one flippant remark? Why were we continually told we would see a 'new' Ricky Hatton then?
A different article, with quotes from Warren's spokesman: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5gjPLi-V4rpG53rz8GX8TzMV0I10A
:nut Clearly Floyd had a plan to box smart,move his head,hands up,jab etc.Between rounds Floyd said,'you should have been listening to me from day one'-suggesting it was Hattons and/or Lee Beards idea to fight that way.If it were Floyds wish for Hatton to fight that way,he wouldn't have said that in the corner
Of course Floyd didn't just **** him himself after the first and think what I going to do to make it look like this isn't my fault did he? The comments weren't part of an attempt at kidology were they?
Because we've been told that several times over the years. "Ricky will fight more like he did against Ben Tackie" I've heard that in the build up to every hatton fight since the tackie fight. Floyd sr and Roger just aren't that good.
Look at the precedent though. Isn't it far more likely that Hatton isn't that good? Or is that far too logical?
As I said earlier Hatton was always going to lose that fight. As regards precedent how about the way Floyd Sr destroyed DLH. Under Floyd Sr Oscar went downhill dramatically.
atschYour whole argument is based on a bull**** theory that Roger copies what Floyd Snr says.Enough said really
But for that to hold any relevance you would have to suggest that Hatton fought differently against Pac, which he didn't. He used the same tactics he always used, and got away with, against lesser fighters.
He used the real Floyd Sr game plan. IE he's smaller than you, his power won't carry to 140, Ricky before you mention Oscar don't he was finished, just go out there and bully him.
