This is a prime example of how quick things can change for boxers, after the Mayweather fight I saw nowhere to go for Hatton he should have taken Witter on comeback he would have destroyed him, but with Witter gone there was simply no one left to fight, I don't see Paulie as that much of a challenge for Hatton, Paulie will never hurt hatton (unless he flicks him with his hair) so Hatton will come forward face first and smash his ribs up I see Hatton looking good against Paulie.

Hatton desperately needed a mega fight (one he has a chance of winning) and the only one out there is Manny but if he looked small or slow at 135 - 140 then people would say Hatton was picking a lose lose fight with a much smaller guy but what Manny showed against Diaz was that a tear up with Hatton could be one of the best fights of either of these guys careers as long as Manny can take shots from Hatton and protects his body (JMM caught and hurt him to the body) this has all out war written all over it I will sell my girlfriend to be there

I have felt sorry for Hatton because that career defining fight seemed to be nowhere in sight now, It could be just round the corner he will retire after this only if he wins.
