not my best subject but i can't think of one.

anyone tell me of any as i am struggling to see this as anything other than an excuse for losing.
Off the top of my head George Foreman (Angelo Dundee); but of course that was in completely different circumstances to Hatton's.

My take is perhaps post Mayweather Jr; Hatton was not prepared to make the real hard decision and look at his lifestyle, so he picked the easier option (I would like to think Hatton dropped Graham with a heavy heart) and got rid of Billy.

It looks great with hindsight, but even at the time I figured Hatton had nothing left to prove post Mayweather Jr, he should of called it a day then.

But he did look good beating Paulie and I will admit I figured Hatton had benefited from the change of trainer, but I was wrong; the blowing up between fights cost him in the end, and he was a lucky man yesterday; Health wise.
