    In reality the best you could do for Hatton is find somebody to remind him that:

    If you don't move your head, use something that at east resembles a guard

    and

    If you don't use a guard... at least try and move your head.

    Telling him that it's OK to get hit with a solid shot and then refrain from seeing red and throw your gameplan out of the window like a boutless Amatuer would help too, but at the moment keeping his hands up is a primary, this is just secondary.

    Really what he needs is somebody to find out when his yes men team started believing their own hype too much and neglecting his training, hop in the deloraine and go for 88mph.

    Yep, a time machine would be good for Hatton.

    I posted immediately after the Tszyu fight that I thought Hatton would go down as an all time great 140 pounder. That's how highly I rated him. But he had no discipline between fights at all. And let's not forget, he spent his best years toiling away in relative obscurity under Warren's 'watchful eye'. Sure Warren kept him busy and kept him earning, but IMO he should have been fighting bigger names sooner.

    Sadly, I think Ricky will be remembered as a decent fighter who had a couple of brilliant victories (Tszyu/Castillo) but who largely wasted the gifts they had. His boozing and partying lifestyle has seriously shortened his career and in the long run, I think he may be remembered by the public more for his defeats against great fighters, than his victories.

    Good post.

    The Warren years were wasteful in that the good opponents were sparse, but the good thing about the period was that Hatton stayed active and was fighting regularly. There was never enough time to seriously have issues with weight and conditioning. Since Tsyzu, I think it has increasingly become a huge problem with longer breaks between fights and a total lack of responsibility regarding conditioning. Hatton fighting once or twice a year is a recipe for disaster and that is why we have seen a rapid deterioration. God knows how he is going to look after a year out.

    Well Miles, he was in Andy Murray's camp for the quarter finals of the Australian open and he looked... fat. Very fat.

    Calderon wont be drained at 190.

    They'll go for Pavlik at 145
