    I just don't see anything in Malignaggi to suggest he will trouble Hatton. All this about being slick etc etc, a couple of points:

    1. Collazo was a southpaw with decent power. ***gi is orthodox with nothing.

    2. Mayweather can actually FIGHT as well as box. Paulie can't fight!

    Back to Hopkins - Freddie has said stuff like this before, he ought to be more concerned with Pac fighting DLH and being retired :deal

    Any ideas who Hopkins will have in his corner?

    Well Roach was only one of 3 or 4 trainers for Bernard's last fight plus I think Hopkins is beyond getting trained now anyway. He needs a bit of advice hear and there but his boxing brain is beyond genius.

    Collazo has always been known as a feather-fisted fighter.

    He isn't exactly Julian Jackson admittedly, but I would say he can punch a bit - but then again he is pretty big for a welter.

    Certainly bigger puncher than Paulie - any way you like to look at it.

    Huh?

    Not sure but like people have said, he doesn't need a high profile cornerman anymore. He just needs a decent training camp, which he always has, then someone to give him a few pointers mid fight. X knows what to do.

    He isnt. This is another myth perpetuated by Hatton fans. He's 5'9 and enters the ring in the early 150's, he's a normal sized Welterweight.

    He just looked miles bigger than Hatton, and a little bigger than Mosley

    Sometimes angles can be misleading

    Well he was bigger than Hatton, but he isnt a big Welterweight like Margo, Williams, Clottey and even Cotto who enter the ring sometimes over the Middleweight limit.

    Bull**** :lol:

    I havn't actually spoken about Joe Calzaghe in any depth for ages, the thing just goes round in circles.

    Boxing > Fighters.
