Hatton splits from Lee Beard

Yeah I suppose so... I mean, maybe I and others had an inflated view of Hatton's boxing ability following the Ben Tackie fight. Tackie is so slow, you'd be hard pressed not to outbox him. He's an opponent designed to make better boxers look good.

Still Hatton has skills - if he wants to change he can. Trouble is, he also has an awful lot of money. It's hard to spent hours getting in shape, quitting drinking and learning new skills when you're already a very rich man.


Shame though.

Anyone see a parallel between Hatton and Hamed? Both had great early success with Warren. Both had a great win against a long time champ (Tom 'Boom Boom' Johnson in Hamed's case). Both got rich, successful and fired their trainers. Both ending up getting owned by a future hall of famer (In Hatton's case two). Both are now awfully fat.
