    Slow down, Im not making no excuses, if the fight had gone 8-9 rounds, his conditioning might have been a factor, as it was it lasted 2 rounds so we didnt get the cahnce to see if he was drained or not.

    As for the pics looking the same, you obviously dont know what to look for mate if thats your opinion.

    Perhaps, but I think if Ricky does continue with his career, I reckon freddy Roach may end up being his trainer! Despite Roach expressing his view that Ricky shoudl retire, I reckon he would not pass the opportunity to train Hatton!

    esp if a fight with marquez materialized

    regardless, i'd much rather see billy in with ricky if he's carrying on

    like laurel and hardie, bill and ben, kylie and jason - billy and ricky were meant to be together dammit :|

    i totally agree with this....hatton used to do a lot weight training with kerry.....and when floyd, sr. and beard came into the picture they cut a large portion of weights out ricky talked about it....and you can see how much muscle mass he lost.....

    I do think hatton needs to get back with graham, and let graham get another pay day, and the lawsuit would get dropped....

    sure floyd, sr. wasnt that great for ricky in the lead up to the pac-fight, but lee beard is ****...ricky needs to quit listening to that guy....

    You only have to look at the physical improvement of both Mat Macklin and Jamie Moore to see Kayes real value...top class conditioner

    Lads neither will happen. Too much 'water under the bridge' between him and Graham now, the law suit being the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak. And by all accounts Kerry was seriously pissed about the way that Ricky handled the whole matter which is why he decided not to carry on with helping Hatton (although he did say if he needed any advice Ricky could always pick up the phone and he'd pass on any advice he could) he just said I will not be working with him no more.

    It was sad to see Kayes and Graham backing Ricky to the hilt in the Malignaggi and Pac fights and not having a bad word to say about him, whilst Ricky sat through press conference after press conference of Joy Mayweather slating Graham and never stepped in once to back him up. That is where I lost a lot of respect for Hatton

    I agree with most of this.....i do think hatton very poorly handled graham, but keep in mind being replaced by floyd, sr. was the work of ray hatton.....plus i really dont put too much into what graham says nowadays....first he said ricky would beat manny is spectacular fashion and then he says hatton is shot now,and he saw it in the lazcano fight....and that if he would have been there for the paulie fight, the pac fight would have never happened.....graham is full of **** too.....

    Yep Jeff not diagreeing with this. Ray Hatton is/was the cause of a lot of Hatton's problems outside of the ring and i'm not necessariliy saying it was Ricky's fault or it was entirely down to him the way the split was handled however he just disappointed me sitting there letting a man who he once described as a 'father figure' gets disrespected in such a way.

    That thought had entered my mind too, I wouldnt expect Ricky to get up in front of the media and tell Floyd to shut it but you'd have thought he'd have had a quiet word in his ear behind closed doors.
