    I think Paulie is the best but that's just me.

    Hatton TKO11 or wide UD12 Malignaggi.

    Paulie is not ready for Hatton.

    He'd be mauled like he was against Cotto.

    And he survived all 12 rounds against Cotto and won 5 or 6 of the 12 rounds.

    Do you think that Hatton is that much better than Cotto?

    I think Paulie's style would give Hatton fits and he could box cirlces around Ricky. His excellent jab, footwork, speed and underrated toughness would be the difference in this fight IMO.

    Exactly. He gave Cotto arguably his best fight.

    Malignaggi won maybe 3 or 4 rounds against Cotto but was beaten up in the process.

    I feel a Hatton - Malignaggi fight would end up in similar fashion with Hatton beating Paulie up and possibly stopping him.

    Paulie has the boxing ability to give Ricky trouble, but his lack of a punch and poor in-fighting qualities will prevent him from earning a victory.

    Do yourself a favor, watch the Cotto - Torres fight.
    That was Cotto's toughest without any question.
    The Judah fight was tougher for Cotto than the Malignaggi fight.

    Hatton is the best at 140...he would beat Malignaggi, Torres, Witter, and M'Baye

    3 or 4 rounds?

    Me thinks you were watching the other boxing telecast that night.

    5 minimum, 6 and I can even see justification for 7, however the beating that Cotto put on him was tremendous.

    But for you to say 3 at all, means you were either channel surfing, not watching or have not seen that bout.

    3 rounds? Cmon Dan.

    I own the fight and watched it as recently as March.
    While I respect your opinion, mainly due to your past comments on these forums and your avatar, I know Cotto won 8 rounds, no problem.

    I'm gonna revisit.

    You know I respect your opinions, I just don't recall Cotto winning nearly that many rounds. I'll get back at you though.
