well not to long ago i would never have considered paulie beating hatton,but now i think it's pretty much a 50/50 fight,in fact i think malignaggi beats him.malignaggi fought very well against cotto and took everything cotto threw at him,despite his fancy dan style he's a tough kid,i don't think hatton would stop him.i'd take paulie to sneak a decision.hatton is in decline.
did you see how uncomfortable and useless paulie look with herman in his chest? now imagine that for 36 minutes with a more vicious and nasty fighter.
