How would've Hatton fared against Malignaggi and Pac with Billy Graham?

Am I the only one who thinks with Graham in his corner he'd have done better against Pac (still lost) but struggled more against Paulie (still won) ?

 

Paulie was just a good match up for Hatton, I'm not sure the trainer was that important at all.

 

What makes you think that?As far as I could see,Hatton fought the fight Graham would have enouraged him to

 

The reason I thnk that DJOC/Gaz is because Hatton did box better against Paulie not doubt about it, but with Graham I see him having a tendency to try and rush in instead of proving that he has made changes with Joy. I defo don't think with Graham he'd have gotten Paulie outta there by K/O. PM is a tough SOB and in all probablity was unlucky to have been pulled out when he was hardly taking punishment.

With Pac though I know he fought his fight 'Graham Style' but he hadn't been trained that way. He basically ignored everything he'd been doing with Joy at least if he'd have trained for 3 months solid to go out that way he would have faired a little better. Ultimately though if he'd have been with Graham he'd have been with Kayes who would have made sure he was as strong as humanly possible. No doubting in my opinion had he been with Graham/Kayes he'd have lasted a few rounds longer at least.

 

No he would have got KTFO the same. His style involves walking into punches and he couldn't walk through Pac's. He couldn't exactly train himself to take those shots and nor could Graham take them for him.

 

is this thread still going

 

He's not even that good.

 

The prank ******, Betty.

 

i think he would have gone more on the attack with mallagnagi, boxing his way in yes but more aggressive, dont reckon he would have stopped him coz paulie is tough i still say he gets well beat by pacquiao but he didn't look physically right in my eyes, think he missed kerry kayes more than graham. watching back when he was on the domestic scene coming up, he was a great watch, exciting fighter

 

watch the kostya tyzue fight and how hatton fights, i think that game plan would have giv pacman a little more to think about. and as for paulie hatton is just better and stronger. he is custom made for hatton, yet a top class fighter

 

Strategically, FM changed Hatton but technically he did zilch. FM didn't implement any strategy Hatton hadn't done before i.e. v Magee. I wanted to see Hatton's technique change i.e. chin down, hands up, more grounded as a fighter etc None of that changed so I see FM as useless.

 

Hatton was caught between styles Vs Pac he didn't know whether he wanted to box and move or fight on the inside. In hindsight he should have gambled with the style that beat Tszyu. He'd never have outboxed pac in a month of sundays.
