    Ricky Hatton's trainer Billy Graham will retire from boxing on Friday night and will not continue to work with the Hitman. Rumours are that Manchester trainer Bob Shannon or Floyd Mayweather Snr will be in Ricky's corner for his fight with Paulie Malignaggi.

    I'd read that on the web last week and it seems to be real. I don't really believe that FMsnr will take over duties. Can't see that relationship working.

    It's a pity Hatton and Graham might split with only two fights left in his career.

    I bet Hatton had pizza smeared all over his face when Graham walked in and told him.

    He is only fighting 2 more times?

    I doubt SR will dedicate him self to Hatton at this point.

    I'm assuming two fights. Malignaggi then Pacquaio. I don't really think I'd let him fight after that. He's made his money. If he fought Pacquaio and no matter the result he'd need time off. I don't think after a fight like that I keep him fighting guys like Juan Diaz should he step up...

    As much as I like Hatton the end is near.

    Hatton's punch resistance has just gone down the tubes over the last couple years. He's had a few too many concussions.

    No ****. There has to be a lot more to the story than is being reported.

    His body is in pieces.

    He has done the body bag routine with every single one of his fighters for nearly 20 years - he also takes plenty on his hands as well.

    Guys like Carl Thompson, Ricky Hatton and Michael Gomez would ruin pretty much anyone who adopts that routine.

    You'd think he'd hang on for just a couple more months with a title fight coming up.

    All this about Freddie Roach, Floyd Mayweather sr has to stop!

    It ain't happening.

    Hatton won't be prepared to move abroad for three months of the year, as he has a six year old son that he sees every day!
