I haven't seen too many of Ndou's fights, but he clearly has difficulty with a boxer who moves well and can control the fight from the outside. Malignaggi did a great job of exactly that. Not having loads of power, he also needs to be able to do exactly that.

Ndou would look better against someone like Hatton because Hatton comes to fight inside a lot. He says he is also a good boxer, pointing at his amateur carreer, but that's not what I've seen.

I'm not saying Ndou would beat Hatton, just that he'd at least have an opportunity to be in the fight. And that means his chances of beating Hatton are greater than his chances of beating Malignaggi were. Paulie wasn't getting hit much at all. Hatton would be getting hit. He never seems to mind that, though. Often looks terrible after a fight, face all swole up and bruised.

It's when looking at Ricky's face after one of his victories that I really appreciate the boxing style of a Floyd Mayweather who usually looks as good after a fight as he did before ...

As far as Castillo - I hope he's not shot, and that he comes in strong and wins against Hatton. I expect he'll do well but lose.

On the other hand, a Hatton loss to Castillo would just muddy the waters ... probably better for Hatton to win and then finally to face the top tier. Hatton-Mayweather would be a great match and would perhaps settle a lot of questions about both of these fighters.
