Would Hatton have beaten Forbes on Saturday?

Forbes by KO. Great chin fast hands and he is stronger than Collazo with much better boxing ability

Add power and I might agree with you lol

P4PKing:

to answer your question, malinaggi at MSG is a far bigger draw than steve forbes will ever be and command a much bigger pay day.

Then you have the potential fight with witter which if he does dispose of bradley and perhaps one more opponent will be forced on rickys door and he`ll have no alternative but to fight junior.

ricardo torres and carlos ortiz should both be established contenders by the time hattons seen off malinaggi.

Hatton has plenty of better options out there than fighting forbes which is why i firmly believe the fight will never go down or ever be close to happening.



As for the guy that questioned hattons ability to stop paulie:

The only way you can diminish hattons relentless approach is to hit him hard and force him into fighting with a more withdrawn approach. Malinaggi posseses no real power to possibly make that happen and hatton will be clambering all over him for 12 rounds.

Eventually the realisation that paulie has never felt the kind of relentless pressure hatton throws up will lead to a late stoppage!!
