Good interviews

Final press conf yesterday - that's a nice height advantage he has.

Ha, that Guinness will taste so much better once Ricky has sparked Collazo.

I am sure he will enjoy drinking them.

i suppose if i shaved my hair it could be me....
you are right though.... even with a 6 stone weight advantage Ricky would hand me my ass in a 12x3 queensbury rules

ALI · Post by **ALI** » 12 May 2006, 07:54

Does anybody know the exact reason Collazo gave him the Guiness?

Billy Graham came out of this quite well. I've always held my reservations about him, maybe it's because it always seems to me as though he likes getting his name out and about and being in the limelight himself. I know somebody in here referred to him as a "Billy coke head Graham" before but even if he was or is, that's his business and why would anybody care anyway.

Never had much opinion about Graham one way or another, other than the fact he seems an astute trainer. He gave Hatton the perfect tactics to beat Tszyu, and when talking about Hatton fighting Mayweather, gave a good account of how Mayweather could be beaten.

Both interviews were very good.

Hatton's camp, especially Billy Graham & Kerry Kayes, have a mssive influence on the Hatton camp. Billy is a great trainer, seems to have a lot of knowledge. I get the impression he does not just train his fighters, he really knows them, their mind etc.

Kayes, knows all there is to know about diet, nutrition, weight/stregth training, supplements etc. I believe Kerry is the bets in business at what he does. The results do not lie!

Hatton is lucky to have a trainer like Graham, and a strength coach as knowledgeable as Kayes.
