I knew Paulie was an over-rated US fighter most famous for losing well. He was never and never will be in Hattons league. I also told you Paulie wouldnt last the 12 rounds, I said round 10, one round out. PeopLe kept saying Cotto this Cotto that, Cotto at 140 is not Hatton! Anyway if you would like to place a British flag in your avatar from now until January 1st 2010 that shall suffice.
Can take a punch. This content is protected Overrated? He won 5 rounds vs. Cotto despite being beaten up in the other 7 BAD, knocked down, broken cheek-bone etc. Getting beat by the undisputed champion of the division hardly makes you overrated. Especially as he showed his warrior mentality vs. Cotto, even HURTING him. Hatton was just too much, the punch Ricky landed in the 2nd made him gun-shy.
Paulie said himself he was more hurt in the Cotto fight .... Paulie would have finished the hatton fight if the trainer did not step in.
McGirt was a disgrace pulling Paulie out even though he lost nearly every round!! Couldnt Buddy see Paulie was saving all his energy to knock ricky out in the 12th!!
He was over-rated some in the US were calling this a 50/50 fight, that was never the case, I called this last week. He was over-rated by people claiming he was 50/50 with Hatton.
No he ****in did'nt. That has to be the biggest lie regarding Paulie career, he only won 3 rounds, if he would have won 5 rounds he would not have looked as bad as he did after the fight.
