    What happened to Billy Graham? Is he still training fighters? And what was the fallout with his old man all about?

    Billy lives half the year in Atlanta rest over here , he took the split with Ricky very badly , he doesn't train any fighters but keeps a close eye on the game

    Noticed how Hatton falls out with a lot of people , but its always their fault?

    The one common denominator???

    Some people say Hatton was never as good after he left Graham , think its a shame they fell out and a like Hatton falling out with his parents , life is way to short !

    Yeah Hatton plays on being down to earth but his ego seems huge to me

    I could tell you a thing or two about that period in the Hatton camp when things were going full guns and showing signs of trouble. Ricky was just doing his thing as a Fighter and a person outside the ring... there was **** going on inside he wasn't totally aware of and his father had a lot to do with it as did a few others too.

    lots of people that were there suffered during this period and none more than his stable left behind during it all.

    I have more respect for Ricky than that and it's not my style anyway, but the lads in the gym were left to rot during that time.

    I always thought he was down to earth but during the comeback he kept contradicting himself regarding what he wanted from the comeback , his ego seemed to be controling how he came back

    I really wanted to see Prizefighter and the winnings going to a charity, then Junior Witter , then a step up , but would that have been ok for his ego ? he loses to Witter or in Prizefighter ????

    The thing is if you try at the highest level and fail then you still come out with some credit for competing at the top

    A lot of people? In his life in general-in which case how would you know?

    Or you talking career wise in which it is Billy Graham (in a manner and his dad) Hardly a lot is it
