Has Bhop and Pav and Joe and Roy influenced anyone to go with Malignaggi over Hatton?

I'm in two minds for this fight. I think Hatton is ripe for a good exposing and Malinaggi does have a lot of skills that Hatton doesn't...but I'm unsure yet how to rate Paulie. I know he's not great but I'm not sure how not great he is. This is not a fight that i'd like to put money on because I really dont have a clue what will happen. Look forward to finding out.

 

Betting on Hatton is a very dangerous move anymore. Floyd more or less beat the stuffing out of him, and he looked terrible against Lazcano.

 

If it's a close fight Hatton is going to get the decision for a variety of reasons and Paulie has been having nothing but close fights lately with opposition inferior to Hatton.

 

Teddy Atlas will probably pick Paulie, this greatly enhances Hatton's chances.

 

:yep

 

:rofl Jones was past it in 04, BTW Hatton is gonna beat Malignaggi down, all he does is slap and run, he won't be able to keep Hatton off of him IMO.

 

ima take paulie

 

I think this fight is actually going to be a real snoozer. Malignaggi doesn't come focused often enough, too worried about his hair or something. Ricky thinks drinking is a training camp. I don't think the fight's going to come off to be honest. Ricky will be hung over, and Paulie will schedule a manicure

 

Im not real jazzed about this one, it's only a matter of time before Hattons drinking and excessive weight gain in-between fight's affects him, and Malliggini can't break an egg, it will be a 12 round dance, hold, pitty pat, if it's close Hatton will probaly get the nod..
That being said Hatton on points..

 

I was already picking Malignaggi to beat Hatton. Hatton is ready for the taking, just like Tsyzu was when Hatton beat him. I callled that one, too.

 

What about Pac over ODH?

 

If Paulie had a touch more power I would be inclined to agree, but I thought Joe followed the script for the UK and so with RIcky

 

if both of paulies hands are fine...Paulie will outbox Hatton

watch Paulie vs. Cotto

Paulie took everything he had, he has alot of heart....fast hands, good reflexes, great footwork, and overrall he's just a good boxer

and todays Hatton, isn't as good as the Cotto that Paulie fought IMO

so yeah....if Paulies hand problems are behind him, i think Paulie can win by UD
