Floyd Sr. talking about Ricky Hatton and more...

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Again, fair point...but for Floyd to absolve responsibility, particularly when it's alleged he's central to the disruption, is unacceptable.

If he doesn't think he's done any wrong he's hardly going to say that he is.

So he's in denial then?

not necessarily.

If he 100% is sitting there thinking Ricky is a tool because he didn't do what I said then he won't be in denial. If he's thinking there's more he could of done but doesn't want any flack his way then maybe he is.

He does't seem lacking in the confidence stakes.

Some people just don't believe they are wrong about anything ever. I've met a few. They're annoying.

[Steelie]

Anyone that talks themselves up to that degree is clearly insecure.

He loathes the fact that Roger trains Jnr. He's always trying to get in on the act. It's embarrasing.

Bottom line Rocky wasn't good enough. He was given a shot at beatin Pacman because there were doubts about how Pac's power would carry, NOT becuase people believed he was anywhere near Pac p4p. Anyway, Pac's power carried and the rest is history. However Floyd must take some flak as he called the fight so wrong pre fight and thus his expertise must be called into question.

Majority of boxing people expected Ricky to lose (not on this forum tho) but not that quick, that easy and that brutal... Floyd Sr. mentality towards the fight reinforced Ricky's mentality that he's bigger and stronger than PAC and will overpower PAC towards a victory... Sr. failed to really instill in Ricky's mind that PAC is a very dangerous midget...

Here's what I see that is in the public's eye.

Floyd claims that he is a greatest trainer and can give you the skills and mind set to be a great "skilled" fighter. "If I was training Oscar, he would have beat Pacquiao" That is what Ricky though he was buying. Hatton never had a complete trainer in Floyd Sr. Floyd Sr. is apathetic toward Hatton. Isn't part of a trainer's job to have concern over his pupil? His only interest was a paycheck. The result was a very poor performance by both the Fighter and Trainer.

Had Ricky won, like in the Malignaggi fight, Floyd Sr. would have been there to bask in the win. Ricky lost, Floyd was gone. Nothing to bask in? Any concerned human being would have made sure Ricky was ok. The question, did he even ask if Ricky was ok? Floyd Sr. is so screwed up he doesn't even think he did anything wrong.
