Does Anyone Think Ricky Hatton Is Looking Past Paul Malignaggi ?

[Tysonbruno]

No he won't be looking beyond Paulie because he wants to shine in this fight and i don't think Floyd will let him.

How can we speculate about what he is thinking? I'd imagine he's professional enough to not look past anybody.

Plus he'll want a quality performance back in America. I can see Paulie giving him trouble but it'll have nothing to do with Hatton's attitude and a lot to do with Paulie's skills.

I only see a problem for Ricky if he tries to become a "boxer" against Paulie because a "boxing" match he won't win...Ricky needs to apply pressure just like Cotto did and Ricky can wear Paulie down and at the very least get a lopsided decision if not a KO...Paulie takes a good punch but his body breaks down and Ricky's pressure can take advantage of that..If ricky allows Paulie to circle, stick and move look out because Mallinaggi is slicker than most people give him credit for...
