Is Hatton-Malignaggi fight already signed?

Just a question for you here Donny you said you see Hatton vs Paulie as the more significant fight, but do you think majority of boxing fans will see it that way ?? because i very much doubt it. I can guarantee you if Hatton beat P4P number 1 boxing star Manny Pacquiao he would get tons more credit than he would against the joker Paulie as he is known as now. And i would certainly praise Hatton if he beat Pacquiao, certainly much more than if he beat the feather fisted joker Paulie just my two cents here Donny.

As I mentioned earlier I feel that a win over Pacquiao would be denigrated as a win over a ntuarally smaller man.

A win over Malignaggi, particularily a stoppage victory historically would be more highly regarded as a good win, given Malignaggis record.

Nobody applauds Joey Maxim for beating SRR, saying he just tired out the smaller man, see what I'm getting at?

You're only considering if Hatton wins, how about if Hatton loses (which is not a remote possibility on both fights)?

Which one is more degrading, a member of the 80s boy band beating Hatton or the no. 1 P4P boxer beating Hatton?

I think there's no shame being beaten by the no. 1 P4P boxer in the world...

I have fully considered the possibility of Hatton losing. Read over my posts again.

But Hatton would be disgraced being beaten by a fighter coming up from a much lower weight class.

Hatton can proudly say that he only lost to the no. 1 boxers in the world while I can't visualize him saying a word if ever he got beaten by a guy with weird hairdo...

As I mentioned in an earlier posting,
greatness or indeed the mantle of pound for pound no.1 fighter in the world does not make size irrelevant.

When Pacquiao gets in the ring with Ricky, he will be a much smaller man.
If his skills are sufficient to compensate for the size disadvantage then he truely deserves his moniker.

But in saying that if Ricky loses then it is a great shame on him.

As I've said earlier, losing to the no. 1 P4P boxer in the world is no shame at all. It will be shameful if the one knocking you down is the ring post.
