I will remeber that PredictionOriginally Posted by Bilbo
ha I see it completely the opposite. He'll come back down, look awful and everyone will say he can no longer make the weightOriginally Posted by hitmandonny
Absolutley! Would love to Sig bet it.Originally Posted by Bilbo
If he fights Torres or Rees he wins a belt back no question. If he fights Witter (he won't) or Maliggnaggi it's going to be a very hotly contested controversial judging decision that will see him lift the belt.Originally Posted by hitmandonny
Being Objective Bilbo, I have to say that is inaccurate. I would wager this second that Hatton regains a Title within his next three fights.Originally Posted by Bilbo
He won't take those fights anyhow. He'll go for the money and a De La Hoya loss imo.Originally Posted by hitmandonny
Now I was nervous betting on the Floyd Fight, but i have no hesitation in betting on Hatton in these two possible fights.Originally Posted by Bilbo
I honestly think Malignaggi embarrasses Hatton if they meet. It wouldnt suprise me at all if Paulie won the fight. I think the most likely outcome would be a very hotly contested split decision win for Hatton.
He's overratted, always has been.
Witter takes him too imo.
I honestly think his bubble has burst now. When you take away his wins over an ageing, inactive Tyszu and a shot Castillo nothing else he has done is that impressive.
Collazo who beat Hatton was completely schooled by Mosely. Urango was almost KO'd by a journeyman last time out and Maussa has been simply blown away by a young kid.
Hatton is/was a decent fighter who got lucky by facing a Tyszu on a way out.
He's never beaten a young prime fighter with talent.
I am a little concerned now that his undefeated aura is broken, but I feel that he will be back at Light Welter and Witter and Malignaggi. He's too proud to take a mediocre opponent and I feel once he goes to 140 will hunt down Witter and Paulie immediatly.
He's so popular he only needs to go 12 rounds to win a deciison against either of these guys, and Paulie doesn't have the power to stop him.
But I'll be more than happy to have a sig bet with you that if he fights Malignaggi the majority of people will say Paulie should have won the fight. It will be Collazo all over again imo.
I feel at 140 Hatton is a different Machine. I really have little more to add. At 140 he is the business.
People make more excuses for Hatton than any other fighter. He lost to Collazo because he struggles with southpaws. He lost to Floyd because he's not a natural welterweight.
He'll lost to Malignaggi because he moved back down in weight and had to cut too much, and he'll lose to De La Hoya because Oscar is simply too big.
Finally he'll lose to Witter or Khan because of his past wars and they will all say he's just too old now.![]()
