    Hatton had to move if Billy was not up to it and you know it can be helpful for a fighter to have a new trainer, it is not that uncommon. It may not have worked for Hatton but it does not make it a wrong move for Hatton.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    If you don't believe in yourself how can you have the confidence needed to win. Moving on because you're feel you are being held back is one thing. Turning your back on your family is another. Ricky's head is just not in the right place. If he hasn't realized who he is by now, it's probably is too late for him to make any successful campaign and it won't matter who he has in his corner.

    even after the Maggi fight i was feeling pretty sad about it but thought hey maybe it was the rights choice.

    did hear a whisper he might be going back to him... not sure if there is any truth in that but it would be the right thing to do IMO

    They had a longterm very close friendship and up until the Mayweather loss a winning combination so with hindsight in our favour now... did Ricky do the right thing leaving Graham?

    To me its more of a judge on Rickys character and one that really put me off him on a moral standing.
    I couldnt agree more i remember reading in hattons book almost the exact same words how he hates when a fighter changes trainers after a loss how to him it seems like a way of looking outside of the ring for someone to blame, i always thought hatton was such a humble fighter a dying breed, but after that it seems more of a front and becomes apparent hes just like most fighters and points the finger when it all goes wrong.

    To be fair the Hattons did make a point of saying they wouldn't blame problems with trainers when he lost against Manny "because that's not the kind of people we arre" then a couple of months later ... started blaming Mayweather Senior.
