    I don't know about that. Malignaggi would be a tough fight for Hatton style wise, and would be tough to catch. I think it would be a good fight. Malignaggi has proven himself to be a good fighter, and would be a good defense for Ricky if he isn't looking for a big fight at 147.

    He has a lot to gain here, especially if he considers fighting Mosley next, this should be a very good test for him before taking on Mosley.

    The is more to skill than slickness. Hatton is skilled in subtle ways like Duran. Hatton is a clever fighter, look how he opened Castillo up for that bodyshot last night.

    It would be tough for a while but the Hatton win would be inevitable.

    to be honest... i dont really wanna see this fight.

    i wanna see

    Hatton vs Witter (just to shut up the demand for it)
    Hatton vs Cotto
    Hatton vs Mayweather
    Hatton vs Mosley

    and if judah can get back on track with more then two wins in a row... maybe if he can come to 140 and destroy malignaggi, then i wouldnt mind seeing that fight eather.

    Hatton beats Paulie by decision while knocking him down a couple of times along the way.

    Paulie is calling out Hatton and I think he would make a GREAT fight.

    Paulie is as tough as nails and anyone who says Hatton KOs him early is dreaming. Paulie won 4 or 5 rounds against Cotto, and he made it a great close fight. I think Malignaggi has a good chance of winning this fight.

    Hatton looked impressive last night, but why is it the day after a fighter fights he suddenly becomes Superman and other fighters aren't even worth fighting anymore.

    Hatton isn't moving back up to 147 most likely, so, who if not Malignaggi? I'd like to see him fight Harris personally, but Malignaggi is a great opponent I think. Hell, I might even take the odds on Paulie.

    Fighting Paulie would be like Calzaghe fighting Bika and Manfredo all over again. A total waste of momentum.

    Floyd, Oscar, Shane, Cotto or even a 135 champion.

    i dont think floyd oscar or shane will want to fight him, he brings nothing to them, to them it will be just like calzaghe fighting bika and manfredo again like you said.

    If Paulie changed his image then maybe I could tolerate it. Nobody wants to see Hatton beat up some metrosexual. The casual British fan would just laugh at this:

    Beating that up does nothing for the legend killer's reputation at all.
