I think his old trainer (his name escapes me - Billy something?) had to quit. I think his hands were shot.

But since then there has been problems with owed money.

Mayweather Snr has only recently got involved with jnr again. Roger, his brother, is the trainer.

Lee Beard is pretty well regarded in boxing circles though.

Billy Graham.

I agree on the Amir Khan thing btw, Khan would destroy Hatton.

Doubt Hatton will do a deal with Warren as they dont see eye to eye

Im a bit 50/50 over Hatton fighting again TBH, it would be nice to for him to thank the fans etc, but i dont think hes in the right shape to box and feel he would get destroyed by a few fighters

I dont think he should fight again. It would be a shame for a second rate fighter get a name off beating Hatton. Hatton has done a world of good for British boxing and it would be a shame to go out with a whimper.

Hatton-Khan won't happen. Hatton won't deal with Warren, he's said as much anyway.

Hatton was always going to return to the ring, I'm glad he has too. Why would he want to be remembered for his last fight when he was on his ar$e?

I hope he doesnt get remembered for being knocked on his backside by a far worse fighter than Pacman which could happen. There are worse ways of going out than losing to one of the all time greats in Pacman.

Khan has now left Frank Warren for Golden Boy promotions. Could this now pave the way for a future fight?

It does pave the way but I'm not sure it makes sense still. Khan is maybe going to fight Malinaggi then Roach has said Maidana will be next up.

Very tough fights, Malinaggi is in good form and Maidana is an extremely big test for Khan. It will be the first time he's faced a big puncher since Prescott.

I think a Roach trained Khan embarrasses Hatton.

Surely his real fans wouldn't want him to bother any more?

I just don't understand the motivation behind it, unless he really believes that he can reach the very top. In which case the next half-decent fighter he comes up against would literally knock some sense into him.

Khan to fight Maidana in April. Venue TBC.
