Hatton is far too agressive for Paulie.
Hatton would probably beat Paulie in a more brutal fashion than Cotto did.

Paulie likes to hold on the inside and he plays right into Hatton's game plan to the T.
The only way Paulie could beat Hatton is if Eddie Cotton is the ref.

The sad thing about the N'Dou fight was that it was Paulie who was doing all of the holding once the fighters were on the inside. Paulie benefited from this. Like N'Dou said, if Paulie has the ref Eddie Cotton in all of his fights, he can beat anyone.
Why all refs don't use the same rule book, is beyond me.

People complain that Ricky does too much holding and hugging. Castillo did his fair share of holding and hugging.
Every fighter has his little cheat cheat and works it to their advantage.
Like williams says: "Do what ever it takes to win."
No fighter is innocent of using little dirty tricks to win.
