How didnt Hatton look convincing? It was an outstanding performance IMO, the only thing i had to falter about Hatton was that he took a few many and got a bit wobbled in round 10, but apart from that he was clearly dominant in the fight and he looked very sharp. At 140, I would say Ricky is stronger than Miguel Cotto, but at 147 Cotto is stronger. I believe this fight will be tougher for PM than the Cotto one IMO.
Fair enough. And if I recall correctly, Paulie fought Cotto at 140. Personally, I didn't think Hatton looked great, but we can agree to disagree. I acknowledge he dominated the fight, but against Juan Lazcano.

Outside of Mayweather, Paulie may be the fastest fighter Hatton's fought. The problem is Paulie has NO power. Completely feather fisted. All Ricky has to do is get on the inside and he'll bruise Hatton up. One thing that is certain is that Paulie ain't knockin' Hatton out.
In terms of effort and work rate I believe that was one of Hattons best performances since Tszyu, but thats my opinion. PM has looked really poor in his last two outings, but maybe he needs a name like Hatton to motivate him for him to fight the best he can possibly fight. But I cant see Hatton losing to PM, I just cant see it at all.
