Hatton - Malignaggi face off!!

[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.

Hatton is clearly better than Gatti and has done far more than gatti.

[Mr140]

Oh really how so why dont you show what Hatton has done to make him so much more acomplished then Gatti i want titles and names please.

You come accross like an idiot.

Saying Hatton is over-rated and Paulie will school him. Hatton is a great fighter and will be rememberd as an atg 140lb champion.

Gatti lost every fight against elite fighters.

Just watch th two Hatton is better in every area.

I can't argue tat the two mens' careers do mirror eachother a bit, I'll say this...

Gatti is alway touted around here as "over-rated"... How? He was never going to be a #1 P4P... I thought he'd connect with at least a few punches that would hurt Mayweather... I was the one that was wrong there... But I did not think he'd win the fight nonetheless.

I always see Gattie for exactly what he was, a tough boxer/puncher... Whe he boxed he boxed well. He wouldn't so much lose focus as just say "to hell with this" and go after the SOB on the other side of the ring.

They are very similar in the respect that they blow up and don't treat their bodies well in between fights(though Gatti got better with this in the last quarter of his career)

Hatton has wins over a similar type of opposition but the styles are totally different. Hatton a march down your throat winger who is way more a brawler then a boxer. He strictly mauls you into a shell and beats you.

Gatti could always switch... He could box your shoes off if he was on point... When he trained for a fight to come in and box he could do it superbly until he decided to dispatch it.

I give both men alot of credit for their accomplishments but the term...


"OVERRATED"


...is tossed around far to often...

Hatton although lossing to PBF made a fight of it the whole way through and kept it interesting... He in fact fough just as I suspected he would and the scorecards looked exactly like I thought they would with Hatton lossing many of them.

I though Hatton had a shot... Many of us did.

I thought Gatti had a shot too... He was just to far past it. A prime Gatti probably still would have gotten the trunks boxed off him but would have made him pay a bit.

Haton is the better fighter... This is why he wen as far as he did with Mayweather




I actually don't think these fighters are as overrated as many do. I do think that the spark has left Ricky and that he'll lose this fight... I think he's about done with the sport of boxing. Gatti gave the sport all he could and I don't think was ever expected by any to reign supreme in any divisiom... He was Arturo Gatti...

He lived in the Boardwalk Hall he built.

Hatton's fans will follow him to the end of the earth...

grossly overrated... Nah... To be loved and to be overrated are two totally different things
