You'd think 7 pounds is no big deal, but in this case it is. Hatton would have trouble with any of the top welterweights at the moment. On fighting Paulie, I happen to think it's a good matchup for Hatton. Paulie is known for his lack of power, so with no deterrent to stop him, Hatton would walk right through him. Paulie would be unable to keep Ricky off of him.
