He couldn't keep Herman Ndogojgojogjo at a distance. Even when he did, he was not very impressive Not having any pop is a major disadvantage, I don't care what anybody says. He didn't get that guys respect. He certainly wouldn't get Hatton's respect
He lunges in too much but Malignaggi will never punish him for it, he is nowhere near as good as PBF. I believe Hatton would beat him relatively easy.
But Hatton lunges in and is so wide open, it's an easy target to hit. Unless Hatton can use that wrestling to his advantage this time around he might frustrate Paulie enough to trade with him. If Paulie fights like he fighting in the 4th/5th rounds of his fight last night (I Only watched some of it, I was watching Jags vs Steelers mostly) Paulie will get owned but if keeps with the jab he has a good chance.
Floyd hits much much harder than Malignaggi Walking through punches is a funny thing. It's much easier to do if you know you hurt the other guy once you get in. What disheartened Hatton was he couldn't hurt Floyd, or even hit him. He can certainly hurt this guy, as Ngoudjojojo did last night Malignaggi is a good boxer, but his defence isn't as good as I thought
Paulie's one-twos and leg mobility would make him stay in the fight until Ricky would breakthrough and punish him into submission. The reason Paulie survived Cotto was because he was able to keep Miguel busy with his flashier, faster hand and foot work - neither would he hurt Ricky nor would he stand up to the much greater intensity of the brit - Hatton by late TKO or UD... They are not in the same league no matter what Malignaggi blasts out.
