Great, down to earth and revealing quotes from the pair which wouldn't make the print press:

Excellent work from Terry Dooley.

Have a good weekend all.

Great interview!

Billy Graham said a Mayweather fight could happen after Ricky's next fight - I doubt this!

If Mayweather fights Baldomir in November, and wins, who would he fight after that? I do not think Mayweather-De La Hoya will happen now. September was the time for it to be made, and that chance has gone.

I'm surprised the topic of Ricky only fighting twice a year was not brought up... would have been interested to hear what Graham had to say on the matter & whether they will try to fight more often from now on?

Surely Graham has more than 3 fighters at his gym? If he has not, then that's not such a bad thing as he can devote a lot of time to his boxers.

I want to see Hatton-Witter, especially if Witter wins the BBC title against Corley. Hatton would beat him soundly, IMO.

Does anyone know if Billy stil works out? During Hatton's camp for Collazo, Billy was himself training and lost quite a bit of weight!

Hatton is a quality, genuine man. I wish him all the best for boxing and life after. Just don't get too fat in retirement, Ricky!

Yes, was a mammoth piece but not that much wasted. I really like their frankness. Imagine leading footballers talking like that?

As for Billy working out, I wonder what injuries he has that totally prevent him from working with a southpaw banger? I'll have to ask him.

fantastic read, thanks terrence. I am really impressed with BBN it always goes that bit further with its articles. In fact, it actually has articles as opposed to just news.

Thanks again and keep up the good work.
