Malignaggi is a loser, a reject in the grand scheme of things when you compare him to the likes of Cotto. Hatton has nothing to gain from beating him except a little money. Don't start the Malignaggi would out-box Hatton rubbish either. Hatton would beat Malignaggi up, he is too talented, a class above. Hatton needs to fight winners, not someone who made his name by getting his jaw broken.
I agree china. This fight is a waste of time and a step backward for the hitman. No one wants to see it either, except for these wigger new york metro pricks who can't stand to see white people who act white win.
So, being world-class makes Ricky immune to stylistic challenges? :huh Hatton has a good chance (though not a sure bet) of cleaning up 140, maybe unifying, defending against some next-big-things, and retiring undefeated. Why throw that potential away to chase a fight with a bigger, better fighter in a weight class where he doesn't belong?
Paulie is not Sugar Ray Leonard. He isn't a south paw. Hatton would have few problems throwing him around the ring. If Cotto caught him, then Hatton can too.
It's funny because Malignaggi is probably good enough to unify at 140, and he wouldn't even have to go through Hatton to do it. I'd pick Hatton to win, but christ- isn't it at all ****ing possible to pick a winner in a fight without bashing the other guy?
LMAO@ you.. what a moron. He needs to fight winners like Juan Urango??? :rofl And Malganggi made his name by putting up a good fight with Cotto and going the distance with him with a broken jaw. Hatton would NEVER last in the ring with Cotto.. And Malganaggi would whip Hatton easily.. But we wont see that cause Hatton is staying away from boxers with movement and skill, He rather fight Urango or a shot Castillo who moved up from 135 to fight Hatton who walks around at 190 when hes not training, wow hes so great lmao
This fight would be a tossup. Since Hatton won't fight any of the big names at welter, lets see this fight.
Paulie fans make me sick. Sure he is a world class boxer and a reasonable ABC title holder but he offers Hatton nothing. Hatton is a superstar, Paulie is the focus of some disturbing cult and nothing more than a stay busy fight (abeit a trickyish one) for Ricky.
eh, whatever, you could reverse the names in that last sentence as far as i'm concerned and have it be no less true. i like both guys. they're both world class. neither would be that heavy a favorite.
