Floyd Snr blasts Billy Graham

[El Kabong]

None of it matters because Ricky is done Floyd Sr. will get NOTHING more out of him

I cant seeing this teaming lasting if Floyd keeps saying shit like that. That is not Hattons way and im sure he will be displeased with those remarks.

As for Hatton being done..... i reserve judgement until after Paulie. One thing is for sure, Hatton has been at times dire since Tszyu. He needs to start working off his jab and get his head movement back, o and stop hugging!

Hatton have 2 more fights then retire so i don't think its gonna be a long term thing

Never really understood the bodybag either to be honest. It was talked about as if it was a must see event, Ricky biffing a heavybag with eyes?

Maybe it started as a serious workout but wound up being a bit of a partypiece/chore that signified the end of training camp?

i think he will fight more than 2 fights, even if he shouldn't

The body bag thing I think was to measure how his fitness was coming along, a barometer from previous fights. 15 hard rounds and he knew where he stood fitness wise.

It's also hard to judge the methods as we don't get to see everything obviously not to give the game away.

Everyone talks about the jab and head movement he used to have pre-Tzyu, but Graham was his trainer then so he can't be solely to blame for the decrease in skills.

what possibly happened was that Hatton became obsessed with the conditioning part of training, thinking he could just out muscle fighters, which worked at LWW.

It seems contradictory but IMO concentrating on conditioning is a lazy attitude to training. It is so much easier to just do endless rounds with your head 'switched off' than to prepare the technique meticulously.

I'm curious to see if F Sr can get Hatton to do this, for the sake of results and for the sake of fans that have to watch the hugfests. Unfortunately it just may be too late, and Hatton will revert back to what he knows if he's put under prressure.

As a 17 year old most good judges rated Ricky a certainty to win a World Title. The quality was there for certain

i think you are right technique should be a massive part of training i think

I actually agree with Floyd there.
