    I just read an article in a paper over here saying that Hatton should ditch Graham after his 'awful' performance in Rickys corner last week.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to what Graham actually did wrong :huh I think it's a bit lame to blame Billy for anything, think Hattons corner have done a marvellous job throughout his career personally - I thought Graham was absolutely excellent in the Tszyu fight especially. I'd be interested to hear if anyone actually picked up on anything that happened in the corner that Graham could be criticised for.

    It's on the website of the Daily *******....

    Here's a link:-

    Oh and that **** Frank Warren mentioned it too....this wanker could barely contain his delight at Hatton losing. Just goes to show what a ****ing low-life this man really is, shame the bloke that shot him didn't have better aim.

    I was waiting for Warrens response on the result, the way he uses that column of his to stitch people up is embarrassing.

    He's been sticking the knife in Hatton ever since he split with him. Notice he mentions that Khans fight got 7 million viewers, which was basically treated as an undercard fight for Hatton - the ONLY reason it had high viewing figures in my opinion is that people stayed in for a night of boxing and treated the Khan fight as an appetiser. I only watched it because I was staying in for the Hatton fight and trying to remain sober so I didn't fall asleep pissed and miss the big one, like I did with Mayweather/DLH :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

    I'll admit I thought Mayweather would win, bet money (and won) on Mayweather winning, but Warren sticking the knife into the guy just shows a total lack of class to me. They may have split but Hatton still but a lot of notes in this greedy ****s pocket over the years.

    It's that conditioning Trainer that needs, jacking.


    Yes he is aload of ****, does not look professional at all.

    When he said

    "If Ricky Hatton wants to drink beer and egg fish and Chips and hang out in the pub, it may not be good physically but its good psychologically"

    No professional conditioning coach should be saying this, take it from me a qualified personal trainer. "That is not professional, or the correct information i want to hear from a conditioning coach"

    Billy Graham is right for Ricky Hatton, he has taken him this far.

    Yeah...King is a scumbag too and no mistake but it has to be said a lot of the best matches in the last 30 years have all been King promoted. That promotion a few years ago that had nothing but title fights all night was brilliant, best free nights viewing I've ever had, apart from the Rahman-Ruiz fiasco.

    Warren is an awful promoter, and it seems a nasty vindictive human being too. He shouldn't be allowed column space in a national newspaper.

    He did the same with Scott Harrison a couple of years ago, called him all sorts of wanker in the papers and said he'd never promote him again. He's now promoting Harrisions comeback fight because he wants to match him in a big Scottish fight with Alex Arthur.

    He has a point with Hitman's workrate recently, a younger Hatton had much more punch output and worked the body better. I love Billy Graham but he needs to improve Ricky and not settle for the same routine.
