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

    Hatton does poorly against speedy boxers,,,an that is what pauli is,,,so i don't think this is a hard call, i say pauli wins 8 or 9 rounds,,,can't believe hatton is not the under dog....

    Well, I was thinking that ODH was just too big for Pac, but now? :think I'm thinking it might be like Bhop vs Pav or ODH vs Mayweather in the fact that I'm not sure that ODH will even be able to hit Pac with a clean shot.

    Pac might just stick around like Floyd and wait until ODH gases out then pepper him with shots to a close decision.

    Hatton seems to have more of a problem with strength than speed. When he can't manhandle his opponents, Hatton looks lost in the ring. Hatton never had a problem taking a shot or two or three as long as he got a chance to inflict even more punishment to his opponent once he got inside. Didn't work with Collazo or Mayweather.

    I honestly feel a rejuvenated Hatton will be the first to stop Paulie.
    He's got a point to prove and he knows it.
    Just because cotto couldn't manage it doesn't mean Hatton cant. Fighters have stayed on their feet against strong opposition before and have been knocked out by weaker fighters.

    Paulie's a slick *******, but I'm concerned about his ability to stay completely focused for 12 full rounds...like most slick fighters, sometimes he gets a little too cute for his own good and if Hatton's focused and in shape, it could cost Paulie dearly. There's no guarantee that will be the case though, and Paulie could just as well matador him with the jab for a points win. It's a toss up for me right now, but if I had to pick, I'll go with Hatton for now. So, if anyone wants to make some cash, now's the time to lay down your bets on Malignaggi since I've had a touch of the Atlas curse lately.

    Either way, I'll check it out because I'm curious what both guys have left in the tank. Hopefully we can see a unification fight between the winner and Bradley.

    I think anyone picking Paulie ought to lock themselves in a dark room as well.

    He possesses absolutely NO style advantages over Hatton, whatsoever.
