    Or maybe your taking your comparison too far, when I was just trying to keep it in context to the topic at hand :good

    Let me ask you something. Out of curiousity. Do you think he was overrated, mostly, as a result of this past weekends fight?

    Have you been thinking that a while and this just confirmed it? or what

    Clottey doesn't need Mayweather SR, he has a tight guard and a good chin.

    This thread is a fail.....Floyd did his best on fight night, Hatton did the complete opposite to what he said he would, exactly as he did before the Floyd fight.

    He is Elite, but not ATG, it's as simple as that.

    True enough. Point taken.

    You remember round 10 (or 9 or 11.. ) against Margarito when he elected to box with his lead hand down, on point with his backfoot at a distance? A glimpse of a Clottey in such a style..

    That's more than likely. I kind of felt like the old man who jumps out of nowhere when you're about to do something wrong without knowing it,:eek:ld "No! Don't do that, son! That's 2-5 month County!" like a Dave Chappelle skit or something.

    Anyway, I see Hatton as too much of a 'go along to get along' to do more than a: "He's the legendary Mayweather Sr... if he says this thing that's always worked for me is no good, well, who am I to say no?"

    Besides you were right I have not owned a home yet in my 21 years so I didn't have much of an idea of all those details ! :bbb

    Agreed about Hatton btw, still, accountability for each and every man for his own. Mayweather ain't throwing punches for him in the ring..

    For a while + the pre fight stuff. What happened to Hatton didn't worsen my opinion about Mayweather as a trainer.

    I think he knows his boxing, but it doesn't mean he's a good trainer. There's a thing as trying to do too much. He also seems irresponsible (arriving late all the time) + hard to work with (**** talking is fine as encouragement, to a point). How's Clottey's temperament cause if he hires Sr, there might a KO by Clottey before any of his fights.

    I fail to see how Sr. is to blame for what happened Saturday Night.

    #1 Hatton could have had any trainer in the world and he would have gotten his ass whipped the same way. He just doesn't have the speed or natural abilit to **** with that version of Pac.

    #2 All these Hatton fans were on his nuts after the last fight talking about how he made Ricky a better fighter. You think all of a sudden on the biggest stage he was just gonna let Hatton down? At some point a fighter has to fight. He can't block and throw punches for the man!

    #3 What Clottey really needs is a hit man to shoot Bob Arum. Only when that happens will he get the fights he needs.
