BBC SPORT | Boxing | Hatton 'must drop back a weight'

Hatton's 100% record went when he was knocked out in the 10th round and Billy Graham told BBC Sport fighting out of his natural category was not worth it.

"He's a junior welterweight. Before the fight I said I was thinking of taking him back down to this weight," he said.

Graham said he was "devastated" by the defeat but would not be advising him to retire, as it was not his decision to make.

"I won't decide, he will - he's in his physical prime," he said.

"If I thought he was slipping, I'd be the first to advise him to retire, but the way I feel is if he wants to carry on, I'll be with him until I do see those signs.

"If he wants to retire I've got no problem with that, but he's at his peak so how can you ask a man to retire?

"He doesn't really need to fight any more but it's entirely up to him. I'll be with him as long as he needs me - I love training him."
