Yes, but he said that based on what he thought Ricky had left from an outside perspective, like we all have.

If he was in the gym with Ricky training for Malignaggi and seeing cracks appearing he would have encouraged Hatton to quit after. There are rumours that Hatton was dropped in sparring preparing for Manny too and wasn't looking very good for a fair while.

If Graham had that insight, and if we actually did too then many picks would have been far different.

Hatton prepared in a totally different way to normal against Manny and no excuses, but it seems to have detracted from his performance rather than added anything. Easy to say with hindsight.
