    If Hatton finished with Graham as soon as he made it big people would have a point. Changing trainers now isn't really going against someone. In fact I would not be surprised if Graham himself suggested such a thing.

    Couldn't you find a YouTube link to the 2 shots that Zoo just put into Hattons nuts moments before? Maybe you just didn't want to?

    The problem is that so many people on ESB ended up with egg on their faces after that fight that they have to try and justify it somehow. Most people here were picking Zoo KO1 or KO2, "Zoo by murder" and all that ****.

    If they have split I think its a good thing. He doesn't owe Graham a living. Hatton could be improved by one of the top American trainers, he needs to move his head and keep his hands up. A split can only be good for Hatton.

    Yes but he's getting old now, it's not all about getting back to the basics. But a change in trainers is certainly better then his situation right now. He defintley needs to learn how to fight in the inside without clinching or trying to smother his opponents. He should utilize his jab more often, along with better head movement. But then again Hatton shouldn't be that ashamed losing to Mayweather. I don't know what he could of done that would of helped him win.

    Christ another statement founded on a british press article. When are people on here gunna realise that most of what is printed in most british papers is bollocks and yet you guys lap it up as if its gospel. Its % 90 bollocks, people forget about what papers print that doesnt come true and remember things that do. But if it comes true then its a fluke by the papers who just print half truths and rumours and sometimes get lucky. Take it with a pinch of salt.

    Usual tabloid junk. Two quotes in the entire thing with one apparently dispelling any rumours of a problem and the other on a completely unrelated matter. It's like when they print that a football manager "was left foaming at the mouth" and "launched a scathing attack on the match referee" when the only actual quote in the entire piece is something like "I think the referee might have got that one wrong".

    Don't believe everything you read!

    Where are the direct quotes? There are NONE!!

    All they have done is put 1 and 1 together and come up with 3.

    What a re you talking about??? There is nothing at all in there from Ricky!

    Even if there was, it wouldn't be blaming Billy for the defeat, rather learning from his defeat and seeing he needs to learn new dimensions in his game.

    Anyway, there are no direct quotes at all in there about Billy. Absolutely nothing. It is a worthless aticle and I guarentee that they are guessing.

    Be at least slightly objective, mate! That came after Kostya had banged him in the groin twice already!! Kostya has even said that he doesn't mind that Ricky did that because he was just returning what Kostya had already done to him.

    OK. Let's just clear this up please.

    We are talking about ONE article in ONE paper. That paper being a red top!

    No where in it is there a direct quote from Ricky or Billy.

    The only quotes are from Ray (Ricks father and manager) where he said that he hasn't heard anything about it and if anything was happening he WOULD hear about it because everything in that department has to go through HIM!!

    Finally, the paper have come up with this only because Billy has stayed in Vegas for an extra couple/few days, instead of coming home with RIcky. Well why should he come home with RIcky? The training and fight is over now, they are officially on their holiday. Why shouldn't Billy stay in Vegas for a while longer, relax, wind down, have a holiday and enjoy himself?? He has worked ****ing hard for the last few months, he diserves to have some time out with his wife and just have a good time. He doesn't have to be in Ricky's pocket 24/7, it has never been like that.

    EDIT: Also, as someone said earlier, if they were to split up, I am positive it would either be Billy's idea (he really does just want the best for Rick) or with Billy's blessing. Billy is like another father figure for Ricky, or at least an older brother.

    I can see a split, Graham will flat out refuse to train him at Welterweight
