    I never said terminal... but decline, yes!

    Paulies form hasnt been that bad really, he looked very sharp against Ndou the first time round, he is also in the fight of his life, he wont get many money fights if he loses to Hatton, I think we are gonna see the very best Paulie Malignaggi, I dont feel like we are gonna see the best Ricky Hatton.

    I agree, but I think Malignaggi isn't what he used to be either...to be honest...

    Hatton was wobbled but no more than that, I'd be VERY VERY suprised if Lascano could have finished the fight from there. That "breather" for the shoelaces is getting a bit like Ali-Cooper and the glove...;)

    Paulie on points.

    Boxing in general is sick to **** fed up with Ricky's wrestling. He's going to lose at the very least 1 point due to holding and he's going to gas badly during the 10th, 11th and 12th rounds.

    Paulie by at least 2 points.

    I don't know...Hatton looked like he could barely move...Lazcano looked like he could have done some damage...;)

    i dont know why so many ppl are voting for a KO for hatton. Paulie might not be the best fighter in the world, or the biggest puncher for that matter, but he is very VERY tough and has got a great chin. I think it will be Hatton winning the first few rnds then he will get a little tired chasing paulie and the rest of the fight will be close but Hatton will win a close decision. The first few rnds will be the best in my opinion.

    HATTON WIN: majority decision

    Paulie is not made for these fights b'cause he is basically a technician and a silky, flashy, smooth kinda box-and-move fighter and there's nothing behind his punches... It's more than just being feather-fisted - he doesn't commit fully to the shot, kinda antecipates and backs off to hit first once again - that is extremelly hard to do if you don't get your opponent unmotivated, fighting at a one gear and Ricky Hatton, unlike Lovemore Ndou and Herman Ngoudjo, doesn't simply let em dictate the action. Hatton always comes and is sharp and fast with his hooks and he will be hitting Paulie, not just taking str8 shots as he comes in and tryin to figure him out ( worst mistake he and Floyd Sr can be doin). Let's see if Paulie fights back to the relentless paced attack.

    depends what Malignaggi shows up, but i went with Malignaggi close decision

    could go either way though really..

    i dont think their's an analysis needed for this one....Paulie boxes and cant fight

    Hatton fights and cant box, we all know how this fight will go.....the only question is who's gonna fight they're fight, the person who does wins, so it's a pick em' really
