I do think Graham would have made him look better than that though. But that is neither here nor there. Snr sucks because he has no class. But Ricky chose a classless old pug for a trainer so he got what he paid for.
having no class has nothing to do with your ability to train a fighter, IMO Sr is still one of the best DEFENSIVE trainers around today, only thing is Hatton's style doesn't really mesh well with Sr's, he should of stayed with Graham for what was left of his career

What i've been telling you about moving your head MAN! You've got to fake and faint you've got to faint and then catch him. Just trying to fall in and over power him don't over power him keep your hands up MAN! You should have been listening to me from day 1.

And also when Ricky first got back Lee beard was chuntering on he should be quiet Floyd was Boss and their should only be one voice.

And then Hatton went out for the 2nd round and reverted back to bulldozing again Perhaps Lee beard is the problem really its funny that both Floyd and Billy graham have had run ins with him.
you can see than that Floyd Sr was telling Hatton the truth, he did have to keep his chin down and use head movement, IMO Ricky's biggest mistake was he tried to fight Manny in the center of the ring, he should of hunched down a bit and not fight so straight up, and should of jabbed to get in and push Manny to the ropes, where it would be his advantage, in terms of strength, i still say Ricky is stronger, remember strong doesn't always mean KO, Pacquiao put on a brilliant display, but Ricky also fought a dumb fight
