heard that Hatton-lazcano will be on basic cable.... whats opinions on this fights outcome? and a possible hatton-malignaggi match up? apologies if this is topic has already been up...
No first one of its type on these board's. We also love "Hatton was robbed..", "Tyson could beat everyone..", and "PBF must fight Cotto" threads. Hatton should be Lascano by stoppage mid round and that will set up a potential "super" fight between Maligfaggi and Hatton.
I was just basically lookin for opinions on the fight man, new here and just attempting to get some more info....so be easy, and thanks.
hahaha... I thought that was easy. Clearly you are new here. And yeah man Hatton is going to win. Maybe not as convincingly as some might think because most around here are making Luzcano (or however its spelt) out to be the second coming of Joe the "Tomato-can" nobody, which he likely isn't. Hatton will then take on Malignaggi, as everyone is suggesting. Who he will beat in a fairly entertaining but not really all that close fight. And then the true test will come. He will have no one left to fight except Witter, so if he doesn't fight Witter sometime in the winter then he'll have run out of excuses for why he hasn't fought him and he will lose a lot of credibility. That or PAc and his maniac advisors will try to get a fight between him and Ricky, which Ricky will win easy and earn and easy 15mil.
thanks o_money, appreciate that, man... hopefully a Witter-Hatton match up will occur, even though it will be overdue.
You know nothing of boxing. Spinks' clame to the "boringest fighter" title is beyond reproach. The man needs help.
Hatton demolishes Malinaggi, he needs to fight Witter after Lazcano or go back up to Welterweight and look for a piece of Cotto. I can understand him taking a confidence boosting fight with Lascano, he just got beat, but anything less than Witter or Cotto would be a cop out.
Maybe. Malinaggi or Torres are credible opponents. Styles wise I would probably like to see a Torres Witter fight or a Torres Hatton fight more then a Hatton Malinaggi fight. I don't think that a Cotto Hatton fight is realistic or that by not fighting Cotto Hatton is "copping out". Cotto is too much for hatton. To big, to skilled, and the complete wrong style. Hatton's a brawler, cotto's a puncher. A puncher almost always beats a brawler of equal skill. Hatton Torres is interesting because Torres is a puncher, so technically he has the style to beat hatton but he probably doesn't have the skill to pull it off and what that makes for is an interesting fight. Witter also has the style to beat hatton and the skill to do it. So don't be suprised if that fight never happens. Thats where the real "cop-out" will take place.
I would like to see him face Witter, Tores, Pauli and perhaps one final big payday against Cotto perhaps at a catch weight...
