I think its a good move personally. Never been a fan of Billy Graham, seemed a good on top trainer but got the impression he was laking somewhat when the shit hit the fan.
We wont be seing Hatton doing a shoulder roll. Would be nice to see him catch some jabs though.
Hard to say on that,Ricky's fought that way his whole career,the old dog new tricks syndrome.Quote:

Thats actually a common misconception.Quote:

Ricky hasn't fought the way he has for his entire career.
At domestic, European and even lower world level he was a fleet footed volume puncher with a great left hook to the body.
This is true and if we can get even a bit of this Ricky back for a few fights its going to be interesting :)Quote:

It would be nice to see a bit of that speed back in the Malignaggi fight, wouldn't it?Quote:

Bronze medal in the world games as an amateur (and he was robbed of that fight) for sure he's got skills.Quote:

Of course Amateur and Pro are different animals,and he hasnt fought that way in many a moon

Have a look at the Tackie, Magee, Holbaek-Pedersen and his domestic fights.

He allways looks to me like he's timing for a big shot.Not that theres anything wrong with that if you can do it. Foreman made a career out of it. Im just not sure if its going to mesh with the Mayweather snipe and move style.
I mean hey,I hope it does, I like Ricky as a fighter and want him to do well,but its definitly odd bedfellows
