Ricky Hatton is going to beat Paulio Malignaggi

Well if he doesn't he might aswell retire right now, Paul Malignaggi only looked impressive taking a beating against Miguel Cotto. Ricky Hatton's punch resistance looked shaky against a natural Lightweight Juan Lazcano, and his defense at times was just ridiculous.

And i disagree with you Tam i don't think Hatton look that sharp. He wasn't jabbing his way in like he had in the past, and he wasn't giving his opponents angles. Which was one of his strong points. And at times he was lunging in with no defense and walking forward in straight lines.

Hatton should win a 12 round UD but i think Paulie, might be alot sharper in this fight considering the event and the opposition. And i think he will give Hatton 12 awkward rounds but i can't see him winning.

Agree Tam, Hatton comes back to his best. Especially with Floyd Sr and his new team. Hatton is very focused and confident. I Can't see anything else but a dominant Hatton performance and victory.

Hatton should win, but i cant see him knocking out Paulie, no way in my opinion, Paulie has some skills, i see a scorecard like 116-112 along those lines, with Hatton winning rounds with his bursts, Hatton is on the slide, and i would put my house on him not stopping Paulie.

Hatton should win. Even a faded version should be busy enough to outpoint powderpuff. If he doesn't he should retire.

I'm naturally a cynical cunt so didn't think much of the Mayweather snr appointment. Now though that's what i'm MOST interested in seeing. What improvement Maywether has made. If he really has made a difference theres still some top, winnable, fights left for Ricky.
