Definately agree with the latter statement - a little time and 2 or 3 post-loss fights will give us a better read and balance.
Ya, but does Hatton really understand the term 'meaningful pressure' and how it differs to just plain pressure? He is his own downfall because going headfirst into things leaves him very open to counters and straight rights.. Remember, punchs hurt more when you meet them halfway! Im not saying Paulie has great power, he doesnt, but if he is slick enough his fist could meet Hattons head halfway and maybe cut him or be enough to annoy Hatton... Hatton is a very braindead fighter sometimes, doesnt use his attibutes to their full potential and with another ref that wont take his **** i give Paulie a 50/50 shot at beating him at least
Although I FIRMLY BELIEVE that Paulie is asking for another beating? I cant COMMEND THE GUY MORE ON HIS CALL OUT's:nono I mean he doesnt CALL OUT the titlelists or so and so and such and such, he calls out THE Cotto's and Hatton's, THAT's Championship desire. Almost makes ya wanna root for his desire because if he defended like he's pursuing? He'll FIGHT LIKE A CHAMPION regardless of how one see's his style:yep All that and a bag of chips? Malignaggi does not have the power necessary in his right hand, necessary to hold off Hatton. Plus? There wont be NO Joe "Go **** Yourself" Cortez:nono He's not going to be anywhere near effective as Mayweather was with Hatton. It wasnt Floyds defense and movement so much as it became the straight right hands that stood Ricky up all night, then add the left hook. Malignaggi doesnt have FLOYD's POP. Malignaggi has movement, D, and a sweet left jab, and hook on occasion. But thats not enough to stop the top guy's. Now if Cotto didnt KO him? I dont expect Ricky too either. PM showed he has the HEART of a Champion that night vs Miguel, no questions asked. With Hatton fighting Floyd first, losing, and the sting that comes a long with that? This will be an entertaining fight which likely ends in Hatton's favor. I see Malignaggi eating a LIVER SHOT the way Ward vs Gatti, Gatti vs Ward did. He's tough, but Hatton slipped PBF's left, and forced floyd to counter with the straight right, there's a big difference in how that scenario plays here.
The magic man had his chance to perform magic against Cotto but didn't deliver. Hatton may not hit as hard as Cotto, but the pressure he applies can be equally effective. It all depends on whether Malignaggi can focus.
do people really think this feather fisted guido *** could compete with Hatton? :rofl:rofl This content is protected
haha:good Well he competed with Cotto, and for my money Cotto is far more fierce than Hatton. I think it a 50 50 fight.
Malinaggi would be a nightmare for Hatton. He would have Ricky timed from the ring walk for christsakes. Sure he might not hurt Ricky but count on Ricky being cut. And even though Malinaggi is another easy to hate fighter he certainly shouldnt be underestimated. If I were Ricky I would try to shut the Hitter up in Manchester..Key word TRY...Malinaggi is just as slick and quick as Mayweather just not as powerful...still trouble
