You raise an interesting point.
How mentally damaged has Ricky been from the Mayweather KO?
and
How physically damaged has Ricky been from tough fights and a horrible lifestyle?
I really want to see how he performs against Malignaggi to answer these questions.
Malignaggi is a fighter comfortable fighting of the backfoot for 12 rounds.
In order to beat him Ricky will need a very high output and range of foot movement and will need to go the distance.
I think we'll finally see what Hatton has left. Malignaggi could well take this fight oif Ricky is poor.
(I'm a huge Ricky fan btw.)
