Hatton vs Malignaggi? Anyone really care about this fight?

[njackets]

I do. I want to see what Hatton has left.

If either wins who should they fight?

I still want to see Hatton Vs Witter! Iv'e been waiting years for it! Not to fussed about Malignaggi,the LWW isn't even half as deep as it used to be,i'd like to see Malignaggi move up if he won.Actualy Malignaggi Vs Judah at 140 would intrest me!!

Your right about the division not being as strong as it once was. when Hatton took on Tszyu it was one of if not the best division in the sport. There were the likes of Tszyu, Hatton, Judah had not long since gone up and should really go back to the weight, Mayweather, Gatti and so on. Now the best we can hope for is Hatton v Malignaggi its a shame really.

It was definatly the best in the Sport Tszyu,Floyd,Cotto,Hatton,Gatti,Witter,with Castillo and Corales on the verge of moving up there are some dream match ups there mixing any of them names together!

The little match up at the city of manchester stadium when Hatton and Malignaggi both fought on the same bill didn't go as well as the night Hatton and Castillio fought on the same bill to set up a fight between them.I don't think they'll get the numbers ppv wise for this fight but will still get a decent gate on the night with Hatton fans getting more ticket allocation that the ridiculous 3,900 for the Floyd fight.It is after all for one of the main belts.

True but to me the only belt that matters (supposing your talking about the IBF) is the Ring belt. The alphabet titles are almost meaningless these days unless they are unified.

Yeah you're right it's become the people's belt but all the casual fight fans still recognize the so called "big three" and all hardcore fans pay more attention to the ring belt and more so just who's involved the fighters rather than titles they're fighting for.

malignaggi is ok (you never know how he's going to come out to fight it could be his best night or worse) words from his own mouth. but for hatton who is held pretty high in boxing in a great amount of fans eyes it seems after pbf did him in he's picking a weaker group to fight because now he knows he can be beatin up

[Mark TKO]

no not really excited about this one - but logical fight for ricky and the division as has been said

malignaggi can't KO ricky or hurt him and certainly won't match his workrate

hatton by comfortable points decision - or perhaps even late retirement a la Tszyu


certainly don't think its a ticket seller - be interesting to see how many make the journey

after that Pac at wembley and off into the sunset for him

Hatton 5ft 7 1/2 lol he wishes!!!
