Hatton doesn't have the natural ability of Mayweather or Pacquiao, so hard to call Billy Graham on his falings in those two fights. He may never have pounded Castillo out of there in 4 or Tsyzu in 11 under other trainers. He's always been a charge forward, defend with your chin fighter and it was always going to be his downfall against World class boxers with fast hands, or World class counterpunchers. The 2 losses on his record are against probably the best 2 boxers of the last 10 years.
Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,
The one that used to get you in bother,
But one that you could never bring yourself to hate.

It's not the same thing.
I don't think Roach would've accepted it. Giving Ricky the choice, sort yourself life out when you're not fighting or find a new trainer.

Good fight last night Rendall Munroe v Simone Maludrottu.
Will have to perform much better if he gets his world title shot but I am sure he can and hopefully Frank Maloney can get the Japanese champion over to Leicester or more likely Nottingham to give 2 Tone the best chance of a win.
Top bloke and deserves everything he gets out of the sport.
was definatly a lot closer that the judges got it good scrap from both boxers none deserved to lose. Im a big Monroe fan but he will have to step it up a lot to win the world title

Will not argue with that but worse fighters than him have had their chance at a world title and hopefully if he does get a chance he will raise his game and have the fight of his life and hopefully get the belt.

No it was a bit of a shock but to be fair unification does not really count until the ultimate winner has been decided in my opinion and Kessler v Froch could yet be the final with all the titles up for grabs.
I hope your right mate im a fan of Monroes so hope he does get a shot he looked a lot stronger in the later rounds friday but fighting for the world title he will have to go for it from the start and not hold anything back. As for Kessler that was a shock i think Froch will go throuigh it undeafeted now
