    you can't say that Sean, Paulie is a big draw and star unlike Witter, and that's why it's fine for Hatton to target pillow fisted Paulie and duck Witter for years. That's the difference.

    I'd rather see Bradley v Torres and I doubt Hatton wants to do Witter any favours and no reason why he should.

    Ricky Hatton in a fight is always a good fight period. Hatton has 2 or 3 good fights left in him but is always expected to take the fight to his opponent and be fully commited to the give and take action.
    Paulie Malignaggi is expected to show some of the flashiest, polished skills in the business and most probably, also great sacrifice ( like against Cotto with a broken jaw and mutiple lacerations)... So how come this is not a good fight that both legions of Hatton fans and italian-americans/slick boxing fans would pay to watch? Obviously, if you don't like one or both of these fighters, you are not supposed to pay to watch them fight! But they deserve a PPV payday all the same.
    It's very hard to get two old fashioned warriors going at it so Hatton-Malignaggi can be very interesting just to witness how can Ricky deal with another flashy slickster now and whether Paulie is really a top class fighter ( like Ricky is).

    Hatton's one of my favorite fighters. Malignaggi is one of my least favorite. So yes.
