Hatton's training for Mayweather-fight

Hatton should be able to run the 100 meters under 9 seconds while throwing flurry of punches.



:good

 

So basically for Hatton to win he needs to switch trainers and hire the father of the guy who he's fighting, and he also needs to convince Shane Mosely or Zab Judah to be his sparring partners. If this is the case, then Hatton has zero chance of winning.

 

:happy:deal

 

Floyd Sr is a joke

Zab is a lefty, how does that help Hatton prepare for Floyd...(a righty)

 

Floyd Sr would be a horrible trainer for Hatton. I don't think he's a **** trainer at all, but he's very good at improving the outside defense of fighters, and since Hatton's only shot would be to fight on the inside, I don't see how Sr.'s training would help Hatton too much.

 

Hatton just needs to show up. No matter who trains him or what he learns its going to come down to him out willing Mayweather, not outclassing him from whatever he has learned. That would never happen. Two totally different boxers so they should stick to what suites them best, especially Hatton because his lack of D.

Floyd would beat both Hatton and Cotto but he cannot let these guys back into the fight.

 

I think that Hatton has a much better chance of "roughing" Floyd up than ODLH did.

I saw something on the TV here in Oz before the fight, and Johnny Lewis (KT's old trainer) basically predicted the fight to a 't'. He said Oscar would try and force being the "bigger man", but Oscar - while being a good fighter - is essentially a one handed fighter who fades late in fights. Not a good recipe to try and 'bully' a smaller guy.

He predicted a close decision to Floyd. Didn't really give Oscar much chance.

 

Hatton is still in good shape from his last bout.

 

Mosely is in anger that big fights are passing by, so he will kill Fatton in sparring :!:

 

He needs to have quality/fast sparring partners and come in great shape

 

If I were Hatton's trainer, I will put him in an open field and tell him to catch a fox with his bare hands. That will be a good preparation for a fight against PBF.

 

Fox can bite - don't forget it :twisted:

 

Kind if agree, but the lack of defence is incorrect. His defence has been based on wonderful head movement and great footwork. These were the reasons he was rarely caught flush vs Tszyu, who picks his punches as well as PBF.

PBF packs a decent punch, my fear is Hatton underestimating that. His head movement has disappeared in recent fights, even vs Castillo, though the footwork appears to be back. I think Graham needs to drum in and drum in and drum in the need for him to regain that head movement, both so that PBF finds it harder to counter and so that Hatton can work his way inside more effectively than odlh did.

If I were PBF, I'd train going southpaw.
