Floyd Snr blasts Billy Graham

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.

When does Floyd Sr not blast other trainers?

He has always thought that he is the only one that knows anything, so this should not be a surprise to anyone.

But I do admit, the guy has a certain flair when he talks, and it can crack me up at times.

I actually agree with Floyd there.

He makes some good points, but I think its unfair to broadcast it in that bombastic style of his. Hatton had a long relationship with Graham and I think any critisisms should have been somewhat more restrained.

I dislike the media in general, they fuel these little feuds and publicise stories such as these for entertainment value.
However, in this situation Mayweather hasn't said anything that is actually untrue. Graham hadn't taught Hatton anything since well before the Tszyu fight and even then, Hatton adopted that strategy himself.

So, although I feel that this was classless and unwarranted, its not exactly untrue.

It's correct,but not right.
