Graham: "If I Was In Malignaggi's Corner I Would Be Very Worried"

Yeah they both got stopped only hatton got stopped by p4p no.1 and cotto got stopped by margo :good

 

what like you? it was his job to talk up hatton's chances against pbf, it isn't against malignaggi, infact you would expect him to go the other way considering he no longer trains him.

 

^

So what? Margarito will stop Hatton quicker than Mayweather if they ever fought.

 

hatton hates lefty's and collazo and magee are both southpaws, more like.

 

that's because margo is a huge WW and hatton a JWW.

 

He is saying it like losing to Margarito is a bad thing though. :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

it's not a bad thing, but pbf and margo are on different levels. cotto was expected to beat margo a slow, easy to hit margo, whereas pbf was/is expected to beat everyone from 147 down.

 

Let's see Mayweather fight Margarito. That slow, easy to hit target will give Floyd hell in the ring and might KO him. :hey

 

Maybe they should have switched roles :yep

 

Well WTF else was Billy Graham going to say when asked about the fight? There's no way, even if Graham actually thought it, Billy would come out & say I'd be worried if I were Ricky, Paulie is not just some other fighter, etc.

Billy & Ricky had a tight friendship even though Graham is no longer the trainer, one senses both still are friends! Its no surprise to hear these comments from Graham. It would have been a surprise if Graham had said I fancy Paulie to beat Ricky, but that was never going to be said1

 

Hatton is still a top tier fighter and should even be in the p4p list.He has only lost to Mayweather in a division higher to his own fighting in Mayweather's backyard.Cotto got beat badly by a fighter nowhere near as good as Mayweather and he is still rated in top ten.Is that just to keep the Puerto Rican dollar rolling in?.

 

I see,so your a boxing trainer who trained fighters up to world level so you know it all and Billy Graham doesn`t?He isn`t Eddie Futch,Angelo Dundee,Freddie Roach or Manny Steward but he knows what he`s talking about.

 

If Malignaggi was not stopped by Cotto he won't be stopped by Hatton. Hatton has looked like complete garbage for 2 years now.

 

OK a few facts on Ricky Hatton.

1. He hates slicksters (Mayweather, Collazo)
2. He hates southpaws (Magee, Collazo)

But when one of them is a slick southpaw - it is (and was) a nightmare for him. Mayweather is simply on a different level. He didn't have that much trouble with Magee, only the KD and a hard shot in the second - he won each of the other rounds bar one, maybe.

116-111 :deal

However - Floyd and Collazo, whilst not having reputations as punchers at WW, clearly had a bit in their fists. Paulie doesn't - and also doesn't like fighting in close, which is Hatton's lifeblood.

Late TKO :deal

 

As Luis Collazo didn`t get the decision he deserved against Hatton what chance does poor little Paulie have? Not much i don`t think.If it does go 12 and its a close one,Hatton will get the decision,fair or not.
