    "When you try to win, you put yourself in a far more dangerous position, and I just don't see Malignaggi being a threat to Ricky. I've not been studying him because it's no longer my job, but Ricky will stop him. He will be too strong, too clever in the way he is able to cut off the ring, and Malignaggi will not have the fire power to keep him off. As soon as Ricky starts catching him with good shots to the body, the fight will be determined. Ricky stops him definately, that's the way I see it. Take Cotto out of the equation and Ricky is the best fighter Malignaggi has ever faced, by far. If I was in Malignaggi's corner, I'd be very worried. I don't know what I could tell him to do."

    Yea ...... They will have paramedics there to help him recover from the beat down he's gonna catch. I dont know what it is but do you guys really think just because Floyd Ko'd him ( from him being frustrated and anxious ) that this track star Malinaggi really is in the same class as him ? WoWWWWWwww

    Yeah he also said Hatton would be too big and aggressive for Floyd Mayweather. Graham should go back to smoking cigarettes and guzzling beer and leave boxing advice to people whom know something about it.

    Reading that would lead one to believe that Hatton is a special fighter. Paulie loses this fight cuz he has nothing in his repertoire to keep Hatton off. He doesn't have the power to make Hatton respect him. Hell, he doesn't have the power to make anyone respect him, which is why Ngoudjo basically beat him (despite what the judges say). I want to see Hatton fight Judah now that Zab's going back down to 140.

    If Hatton ain't ultra agressive, He will lose.....Bottomline.
    I see Paulie using his jab all night long bouncing it off of Ricky's head.
    (No need for that Thud Power!)

    If Hatton changes his style, It's over.
    (Ricky Forget about what FM Sr. teaches you...trust me you will never be a boxer)

    I see Paulie shoe shining Hatton. I think PBF took something from Hatton. Hatton looked subpar in his last fight. He was getting tattooed with flush shots against a guy several classes below Paulie. But he just didn't seem to have the footspeed and intensity that made him great.
