They bring nothing good to the sport and every top level fighter has those kinds of fans but the Hatton fans have a MAJORITY of assholes amongst them, I just hope you're not one ;)Quote:

No I'm not one bud;), I think Paulie's speed will cause problems and the pace of the fight will hurt Rick (for the first time) he has just lost most of his major weapons........stamina, punch resistance, timing and his power has not been what it was. I think Hatton will lose this one and I hope im BANG wrong on that, but thats my gut feeling.Quote:

I do. I want to see what Hatton has left.
If either wins who should they fight?
If Hatton wins he should call out Pac, if Paulie wins he should call out Bradley.Quote:

Also I'd like to say that I didn't think that he looked that bad against Floyd especially up until the 6th round. And don't forget he was in with p4p the best fighter in the world so there is certainly no shame in losing that fight.
er, it's the two of the best light welters, why wouldnt anyone be interested in it?

weather you like them or not the outcome of the fight will e a big big thing for the devision
I still want to see Hatton Vs Witter! Iv'e been waiting years for it! Not to fussed about Malignaggi,the LWW isn't even half as deep as it used to be,i'd like to see Malignaggi move up if he won.Actualy Malignaggi Vs Judah at 140 would intrest me!!Quote:

If Ricky wins he calls out either Pac or De la Hoya for a farewell fight if he wins or a payday if he loses then setting up a farewell fight vs someone liek Witter.
Your right about the division not being as strong as it once was. when Hatton took on Tszyu it was one of if not the best division in the sport. There were the likes of Tszyu, Hatton, Judah had not long since gone up and should really go back to the weight, Mayweather, Gatti and so on. Now the best we can hope for is Hatton v Malignaggi its a shame really.Quote:

True but to me the only belt that matters (supposing your talking about the IBF) is the Ring belt. The alphabet titles are almost meaningless these days unless they are unified.Quote:

malignaggi is ok (you never know how he's going to come out to fight it could be his best night or worse) words from his own mouth. but for hatton who is held pretty high in boxing in a great amount of fans eyes it seems after pbf did him in he's picking a weaker group to fight because now he knows he can be beatin up
no not really excited about this one - but logical fight for ricky and the division as has been said
malignaggi can't KO ricky or hurt him and certainly won't match his workrate
hatton by comfortable points decision - or perhaps even late retirement a la Tszyu
certainly don't think its a ticket seller - be interesting to see how many make the journey
after that Pac at wembley and off into the sunset for him
Hatton 5ft 7 1/2 lol he wishes!!!Quote:
