What now for Hatton??

[El Gamo]

Yup,no way in hell Miguel makes all those sacrifices to fight at 140. He loses muscle,stamina and is weak at the weight. Hatton should fight Paulie IF the Floyd fight cannot be made,I want to see how he deals with a slick boxer. I don't think the other fights at 147 are viable for him,I don't think his style would be effective at that weight.

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.

I think Paulie is a deceptive puncher and the key to beating Hatton is timing. I'd favour Hatton but remember,Paulie dropped Ndou which not even Miguel could do with his hammer fists! He doesnt have true power but he managed to generate some because his punches are sharp,fast,they type that once in a while,you don't see coming. I'd favour Hatton but it would be a great fight.

As for Hatton at 147,I would advise against it. We saw the Collazo fight and there are guys much bigger,much stronger who hit harder than Luis at the weight. I don;t think Hatton's tactics of hitting and holding would be effective against Margarito,Cotto,Williams etc.

What do you think of a Floyd fight Tito?
