Hatton - Malignaggi face off!!

[killersheep]

Lots of Paulie pics and not an extension in sight!! This is good news.
I wanted this fight for a long time, but after their recent performances, I think Hatton is gonna take a wide UD over the Magic Man.
And directly after that try for a guest appearance on Miami Vice II

Hatton wins this in my opinion but i wouldn't be shocked to see Paulie win as he has got balls he proved that vs Cotto.

Yes Ricky is looking a bit rough but he always does in between fights.


In the past he has always proved the doubters wrong where it counts,in the ring.


We will know for certain on fight night.

Come 2wks before the fight Hatton will be looking like a monster and all of this will be forgotten. I still think Hatton wants to add to his legacy he has a great resume and if he "cashing out" he would not be fighting Paulie who is a huge risk and not so huge reward.


If Hatton is 60% of what he was 3yrs ago he will batter Paulie all over the ring.

By picking Mayweather snr i think it shows Hatton wants to learn and still has the hunger left in him.It would of been easyer to pick Lee Beard as his main trainer seen as he has worked with Ricky in the past.

I'm a big Hatton fan and would love to see him win but I don't think he will. He looked poor in his last fight with Lazcano, (as he has in many fights of late) a fight which was supposed to make Rick look good after his loss.

Paulie by decision, and I agree with what Saddo said, he wants it more than Ricky does.

[Fenster]

I don't think Ricky looks any different to his usual bloated drunkard self.

Even if he's lost it a bit (which is surely the case), he should still beat Powderpuff.

Powderpuff not only doesn't have a single piece of form to warrant his lofty status he is coming into the fight on (arguable) back-to-back losses - at the very least awful performances.

How can anyone on this earth ofther than Hatton himself would know how much Hatton wants this? i find it crazy when people say stuff like that. Hatton will want this fight for his fans more than anything and bringing in Mayweather Sr means Hatton doesnt just want a payday as Sr would be demanding at least a cool mill.

As for Hatton looking bad... no he looked good rounds 4-10 and got caught. Put it this way Hatton looked 100x better beating Lazcano than Paulie did beating Ngougo and Ndou. I actually thought Ngougo beat him.

I don't know why people are using "Paulie wants it more" as something to favour Paulie in the fight. Hatton wanted it more than Mayweather in their fight. Even Shane Mosely and Bernard Hopkins said that. And look what happened there. You can have all the want in the world but if you ain't got the skills and talent then you'll fall short. Just like Paulie will.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Paulie is gonna spin Fatton around the ring. I'm a Hatton fan but he's not the same fighter that cut KT down.

IMO it's gonna be a MD for Paulie as Ricky will keep it close but Paulie's superior foot work, handspeed and durability will win the day on a wearing and aging Hitman.

Hope to god Paulie wins i really do not like Hatton think he so overated he is no better then Gatti he rides on beating a 36 year old great.

Mmmm, I give Hatton alot more credit then that though I do think he's a little bit over rated... Just a but... But who's to say at this point?

[Mr140]

Well Boston were would you put him to me his best wins vs TK and then his win over Castillo who was shot to hell and back. I think if you look at the over all career of Hatton and Gatti you while see they are pretty much even when it comes to what they did and titles they held. I may be wrong i look up both of them and see if i miss judged it but i do not think i did.
