    It's already well-proven that Paulie struggles with good inside fighters and that he's bad at maneuvering out of being boxed into a corner. Hatton is one of the best there is at cutting off the ring, and if he can do that, he shouldn't have too much of a problem beating Malignaggi. Mayweather just happened to be spectacular at avoiding getting cut off, and people are letting that fight affect their memories too much. Paulie is no Floyd, not even close, and he doesn't have the elusiveness or punching power to keep Ricky off of him. Ricky by wide UD here, and it doesn't look that dissimilar to the Cotto fight.

    I haven't followed Malignaggi's career, but I have the Cotto fight on DVD, and overall he gave Cotto credit and admited Cotto was the better fighter.

    In the post fight interview he did no doubt but in interviews months after is when he started up the lame excuses.

    Well, it's the post-fight interview that must be the truthful one, eh? ;)

    And I insist: WE WANT THE COTTO AVATAR BACK! :D

    :lol: It seemed like everyone liked that particular Cotto avatar for some reason it just stood out I guess.

    BTW are you from Greece or do you just happen to be living there for now?

    Maybe he can take a page from the Sam Peter book of Excuses.

    I think Hatton is a class or two above Paulie Malignagi

    Malignaggi isn't gonna have to use any excuses, because he's gonna outbox Hatton and win a clear UD

    Who knows, but most boxers always have excuses after they lose. We'll see though.
