Roach turns down Hatton...

[HattonTheHammer]

fair play to roach, had he of took the money and trained ricky he would of gone back on every single thing he ever said about hatton

Rickys worst ever decision was letting floyd mayweather jr in his training camp. Stick to what you know best. Beard should of been the main man, if he`s good enough for guzman he should be good enough for hatton

yea i know, i'm just being a smartass lol even though i think it's bullshit the way that they try to put ALL the blame on Floyd Sr., some of DLH's biggest wins came with Floyd Sr. in his corner and Guzman had looked just fine before the Funeka fight

Oscar would have beaten Vargas, Gatti (rip) Mayorga and his struggle with Sturm with or without Floyd Sr in his corner; I think Sr is a highly overated Trainer. And Kudos to Freddie for turning down Hatton a fighter whose lifestyle is more important then taking boxing seriously. He should call it a career and and continue the one of barfly.

i'm pretty sure he would, but anyone who says that Mayweather Sr. didn't help with his defense is pretty blind

I don't see the wonderful honest Freddie Roach that's so concerned for Ricky Hatton's welfare that everyone else does and here is why.

Freddie Roach refused chance to train 'washed up' Ricky Hatton - Telegraph

The quote that sticks out is "If he wanted to fight Amir Khan, that's one thing. But I couldn't train Ricky. I said I think he should retire. He's washed up."

Seems to me his concern is his own reputation rather than Ricky's welfare. He doesn't want to be associated with a losing fighter. He has no problem training somebody to beat the crap out of him & make money off it.

So please let's cut the 'Freddie cares' column because he's concerned for how it looks on him not that Ricky shouldn't be fighting any more.

I think his defense was more solid when he was with Alcazar because he had better movement. It seemed when he got with Floyd he seemed to be more grounded and took more flush shots. He used alot of shoulder roll when he fought Gatti but I didn't see alot of it in later fights. Sturm got through alot with just a jab and Forbes got through and fractured his cheek bone and Pacman tore his defense apart. I'm not trying to start another thread but I really did not see alot of improvment under Floyd Sr.
