"I might train Hatton ,If I get my Hands on Ricky I will make him use his head more " Discuss !! How long til we see a slick Ricky Hatton ??
Uggh. Hatton will try to get slick or whatever it is he does. Then lose with that style. Then go back to his roots with his old style and lose again.
Depends it has to be a gradual process I mean look Oscar was able to improve his defense with Sr. but it didn't happen over night ..
Different animal though. Hatton doesnt have that sort of athleticism, he would be better off learning how to jab his way in and ride his same style for the rest of his career
He has great footwork, which could be used better than it is currently - but no jab and no defence. Working with FM Snr would make no difference :deal
Freddie Roach would be perfect - but Ricky may as well stick with Billy Graham. They have got this far down the road together - I feel they ought to bow out together as well. By the time Ricky learnt skills that would improve him he would be shot anyway - I see him having no more than 4 or 5 fights before getting out on top (pretty much). The way he trains, spars and fights isn't particularly easy on the body and then you have 40lb of blubber to shift and it becomes a pretty lethal combo. Throw in the fact that he would most probably lose Kerry Kayes and Mick Williamson (cutman) - and also have to spend 12 weeks away from his son and very close family, and you are looking at long odds.........
Slick Rick Hatton......doing the shoulder roll and throwing lead rights. I would pay anything to see that.
