Thread: malignaggie wants berto in april. if not hatton in may

malignaggie is really stepping up. do you think he can beat hatton in ther rematch.? and berto period?

I just really don't see the point in a Hatton rematch. Their fight was so one sided and aside from the first round, Malignaggi was simply not in it whatsoever. I can't see him going up to 147 to fight Berto either. Unless it's another annoying catchweight situation.

I can see how Malignaggi looks now being competitive against Hatton. Pac took a lot out of Hatton and Malignaggi has been boxing a lot better recently. But against Berto...that would end being nearly a massacre. Berto would be the strongest, fastest, and biggest opponent Malignaggi has ever faced. I like Malignaggi but Berto would be a wrong turn.

i agree with you. i think malignaggie would put up a way better fight against hatton this time. i meen look at what he did to the brawler diaz twice outboxed him twice. i also think he can beat hatton this time

Paulie wasn't throwing much combinations, mostly one jab and an uppercut from the outside.
When he throws quick combo's they/re beautiful imo, he could beat Hatton this time if he is focused and not injured.

Hatton has very good footwork, he might outbox a shot Hatton but a half decent Hatton beats Paulie everyday of the week, beating a shit fat Diaz who in truth has lost 5 out of his last 6 is no great shout in truth.

Paulie needs to beat some better fighters like a Khan or a Marquez before he mixes it with Hatton again, the first fight was so one sided he would need to make a huge statement to get that rematch, he just wants a payday in truth.

Powderpuff will be getting whooped by Khan in May.

Imagine that: Catchweight Berto-Malinaggi for the WBC diamond catch weight belt... that would be a premiere, that would be SOOOooooooo fantastic!

I read that some where myself today

According to boxrec, Khan vs. Malignaggi and Victor Ortiz vs. Campbell are fighting at MSG on April 15th. It has HBO listed as carrying the fight.

HBO does not have the fight listed on their site though. As a matter of fact the only fights HBO has listed are

Devon Alexander vs. Juan Urango Mar. 6th

Pacquiao vs. Clottey Mar. 13th

Mayweather vs. Mosley May 1st
