Malignaggi-Hatton close, Paulie praises Hatton and calls him a "Great champion".

[bzkfn]

Why all the digs at Ricky? I get bored of hearing the same old arguments about a guy that has proven world class ability.

He's fighting one of the best at 140 before the year end, and I doubt he'd retire without fighting Witter. I can't believe people think a fight with Witter would be close. Junior isn't in the same class. Name one genuine threat that Witter has beaten?

seen this coming weeks ago mate...

isnt Malignaggi on the undercard of hattons next fight sure i heard that somewhere could be wrong.

Ricky of old wins this one for me but i guess its all down to if we still have the ricky of old after his defeat

It was close but not confirmed. Remember if it had fallen through they were going after Torres. I think they were backing it up in case Paulie decided to fight Witter instead.

you know what would be a dream undercard for me mate is stick Malignaggi vs Witter on the undercard and Hatton meets the winner.... everything is simple in my world mate

That'd be great. Plus it'd keep Junior on an undercard were he belongs.

It'd involve 3 promotors though, so can't imagine it coming off. It does make sense though. You think Paulie would unify with Torres?

Witter would get the exposure if he won... Malignaggi would be a better fight if he won.

Hatton would just have to carry on as normal and all the fans would be happy makes sense to me.

as for Torres hes in the who needs him club

This one is looking real close to bieng made..

What i heard about the hatton - lazcano undercard was they were looking for the hbo style undercard to be hattons next opponent and that giving that both hatton and the undercard attraction won that would solve who hatton fights next after that..

Main culprits i had heard were torres and my boy paulie..

Now course paulie still has to deal with the legal problems since he owes Ndou a rematch for the title so perhaps that will be the undercard fight or if paulie can put that off for another length of time perhaps he could unify with torres on the undercard winner gets hatton in autumn..

Either way i'd quite like to see the magic man in england and of course the hatton fight is likely to be aestheticly pleasing... (Dont bug me when it comes to spelling .. Im the man at spelling )

And whoever says about who hatton is ducking is off the mark.. its not to do with power or nothing of the sort.. Paulie and hatton were gona come together.. cos they both on top.. the problem is for every boxer is getting the big fights.. and just lke everyone else witter should let others do what they do all he needs to do is keep fighting, keep winning and get some names.. of which there are plenty at 140.. he could take out guys like rees and torres and gain a title while he waits.. face prospects like salita, figueroa, alexander, even if it comes to named fighters theres a few out there to put on the resume that arent a huge threat to him or his eventual hopeful payday..

He needs to put himself in a position where other people want to fight him and theres no running around for him.. thats what hatton and paulie have already done and thats why they are getting the money and the fights

Malignaggi is pretty decent with some good boxing skills and slickness, but he has no power so Hatton will be able to walk right through his shots, but Paulie will make Hatton look bad and he will give Hatton some problems but i see Hatton winning a clear cut decision.

[Pugilistic]

that is great news, hatton would win late stoppage, or UD

[Beanflicker]

Im A HUGE Malignaggi fan, but I think Ricky takes this one. Paulie is slick but he isn't skilled on the inside like Floyd. I see Ricky closing the distance and eating him up.

Some of you guys forget how good Ricky really is. Just because Floyd made him look bad doesn't mean he is bad. Paulie is a real good fighter but he's no Floyd.

That makes perfect sense Saddo, which is why it could never happen.
