Hatton on Sr
Mayweather senior is renowned as being an excellent defensive coach but Hatton is unconvinced of his skills beyond that and is left with particularly grim memories of his humbling at the hands of Pacquiao.
“He taught me a lot, he taught me a new side to the game in many ways,” he said. “He taught me a lot of methods that I still use now as a boxing trainer.
“He was a very good defensive coach and when I fought Paul Malignaggi it couldn’t have gone any better, that was probably the best fight I produced since that Kostya Tszyu fight.
“Having said that, the training didn’t go quite as well for the Pacquiao fight. The tactics could have been better, there wasn’t too much method there.
“He’s not the best trainer in the corner I’ve had but he is a very good trainer nonetheless.”
