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.

I've read that it could be on the Hopkins / Roy Jones undercard.

To be honest. I think the Khan fight would be far more interesting if what you say is true. Jones/Hopkins is a fight that just doesn't need to happen.

Bernard Hopkins will go to school on Roy Jones Jr.

And the sad thing is that nobody will care.

It's like two old men fighting in a pub car park after chucking out time, completely irrelevant and unnecessary to the sport of boxing.

RJJ should've retired a long time ago. He's totally ruining his legacy. It's almost painful to watch such a great fighter in his day still going. Hopkins has still got a fair bit left in the tank, it's hard to believe he is 45!!

the only reason it can be happening in 2010 is money surely?

I've always said RJJ should never have drained himself back down to light-heavy after beating Ruiz. After that his punch resistance had gone and he starting losing his speed and reflexes, and he never really had the fundementals to fall back on. To think at one point we could've have seen Jones fight Lewis. How good would that have been?

Erik Morales to make his come back fight in April

Vs Hatton at Wembley?

That could work at 170lbs!

Haye - Ruiz confirmed for April 3rd at the MEN

MAtthew Macklin has brought in Freddie Roach as his new trainer. Great move by the lad. A fight with Pavlik could happen this year if all goes to plan.

Just got tickets for the Haye - Ruiz fight. £30 each, bargain!

Sweet! Any details on who else is fighting on the night?

were you get them Blobby fancy that. What you think of the Napa descion on friday i thought Napa had just done enough. How did 1 judge give it Macdonnell by 5 ill never know

lol
