I always remember the words of advice my father gave me, 30 odd years ago..... NEVER TRUST A MAN WEARING LEATHER PANTS. Add to that, an ex felon wearing leather pants, and Ricky Hatton should've never got mixed up with this loud mouthed charlatan. If Mayweather is twice as good as Billy Graham, at least 'The Preacher' would've saved 3 extra minutes of utter humiliation for his charge. The grass isn't always greener on the other side, Ricky. And parent's getting involved in their sons' boxing careers invariably ends in tears.....
I didnt even see the chemistry there with Mayweather Sr. so i agree he should have just stayed with Billy Graham I dont think Graham would have retired if Hatton wouldnt have fired him but if you ask me I think Hatton will be back for one more fight and I believe Graham will be in his corner most likely
No chance. Graham has stated that he "loved Ricky Hatton like a brother," but that there's now "no contact between them" which I think is a real shame. It reminds me of that little wanker Naz thinking he could dump Ingle in favour of his crew of 'yes men.' The result? He got taken to school by an unassuming, hard working pro, who didn't seek the glitzy trappings of his opponent, but took his job seriously, without complications and distractions. Sound familiar????!!!!!
Floyd's Sr. stock has fell tremendously. His actions like showing up late for Hatton's workout to get taco bell and his disappearing act after Hatton lost is a sure way to show how much of a jackass he is
Hatton needed someone to blame after his defeat to mayweather,Billy Graham was the fall guy. Why he got Mayweather sr as his new trainer beats me,the bloke is a first class idiot.
Well if you have trainer, that is being paid to train you, and he can't get to the work outs on time.....That says a lot about him and how he feels about you as a fighter, and a person. It works both ways.......If a fighter keeps missing his work outs, is always late, exibits no effort.......etc.etc.etc......you think a decent trainer will stay with him or train him? I doubt it. Floyd Sr. is an ass.......end of story.
He is an ******* no doubt. Hatton knew he was severly limited as a fighter, Floyd exposed him. He tried to find someone to make him better, it didn't work. With Grahm or Sr. he gets KOed in round 2
Regardless of your opinion of Snr Hatton didn't listen to a word that man said nor did he use any of the defense he was taught ..If you notice after the 1st rd Snr gave him great advice " stop following him around with your chin out there keep your hands up don't try to out muscle him use your jab " if he had been successful and listened no one would have questioned his choice in trainer ..
I think Hatton would have lost no matter who his trainer was, but still, how much did he pay Void, Sr. for this fight?
Finally, the truth is out. I have been saying Sr is a dickhead for years now and FINALLY it shows up on the big stage. He rode on the back of his son and with Jr's success, he proclaimed he "made" jr when we all see Floyd took his own path and was/is very successful. He is as arrogant as any man who has walked this earth and has no class, but is so arrogant, sadly, he will never see it. Entertaining-ABSOLUTELY, great trainer-absolutely NOT(he is GOOD however) but is a brilliant marketer.............of himself
Point made.. these excuse making mofos. Floyd Sr cant fight for him. He is not a boxing idiot and everything he worked on and the advice he gave made sense. Hatton listened to that true idiot the back up trainer(yes man) and he got knocked the **** out. Hatton came in the ring all amped up and tense and as soon as I seen that **** I said he is going head first into punches. I thought he could at least last 6. But your boy came in head in the air squared up trying to show Pac no respect and just bully him and expect Pac to wrestle along and cooperate. Hatton is just a ****ing idiot himself.
