...and really who thought Ricky could be changed so dramatically after 1 damn fight?!?!?! Let's be honest, it took Oscar De la Hoya a LOOONG time to get used to fighting the way Floyd Sr. trained and before he got used to it he just got by on his own skill....look at the Vargas fight, Oscar damn near lost trying to use Floyd's techniques which Oscar hadn't perfected yet and if Oscar didn't revert back into the old warrior De la Hoya he would have lost. And De la Hoya comes from a much higher boxing pedigree than Ricky Hatton, I'm not hating on Ricky, I'm just saying it even took Oscar a long time to pick up that system.
I thought Ricky might be taught to BOX a bit more but that just ain't his style, he's a pressure fighter and he's at home when he can attack at will and guys who can fire back faster, stronger, and straighter are not his friends.
