Cotto conceeded 4/5 rounds against this chump.

Hatton conceeded one and beat him both on the inside and outside.

Big wow Cotto floored him, it was a flash knockdown anyway. When Hatton landed a jab it looked like Paulie would go down.

Hatton took him to school, Paulie was very much competitive in the Cotto fight.

Easy choice IMO.

And your point.... ?

See my previous post two posts before yours.

Hatton took all the rounds except for 1 and schooled paulie.

But Cotto broke his FACE and sent his ass to the hospital.

so Cotto did.

either way both beat the crap outta him so who cares Paulie still lost.

Cotto beat him better cos he sent him to hospital? This is boxing my friend, Hatton Paulie fight was awy more one sided hense the reason he was pulled out.

i know paulie was out scored by Hatton thats why i said he schooled him.

but it depents on how you define BEAT i guess. if u think beat is schooling the shit out of him then its Hatton.

if u look at paulie after the cotto fight and then look at him after the Hatton fight then tell me which paulie looks more fuked up.

It does depend on the definition of "beat." Hatton dominated the fight against Paulie better than Cotto did but I think Cotto did more damage to him.

oh please....

The answer to this question came from Malignaggi's own mouth after the fight.

Didn't he just say Cotto hurt him more?

First time Hatton landed cleanly Paulie was on queer street. After that he just grabbed hold.

You have to say Hatton. Cotto fight might have been more brutal, but it was a much closer fight. Paulie won 4/5 rounds against Cotto and he stunned him.

Paulie is supposed to be a better fighter now with the world title fights under his belt, but he was outclassed big time last night. He was outboxed, out sped, out fought. The speed that Hatton closed the distance had Paulie hesitating, and Paulie didn't want to throw anything of his own because he was scared of what would come back.

A novice (in comparison) Paulie broke his hand and cheekbone(i think) against Cotto and still made it really competitive. Hatton anhialated him.

And what's the point of this useless thread? To imply that Hatton is somehow better than Cotto? Too bad they never met in the ring. That would've settled a lot of moot arguments in the past. Of course, if Hatton would consider going up to 147 to fight DLH, maybe he should have a tune-up first against Cotto (at 147).

I don't know i didn't start the thread.

There's no point you winking like you know something we don't. Everybody knows Cotto would be too much for Hatton at 147. He's naturally bigger and stronger....and technically a better fighter.

If they had have met in the past it would likely be at 140 where Cotto wasn't as strong. Cotto would have had a lot of problems imo.

I just find it strange that anybody can say Cotto did a better job on Paulie considering he gave away 4 or 5 rounds to a guy who broke his hand. It's the sport of Boxing. Rounds win you fights. If we we're judging street fights then i'd be inclined to say Cotto did a terrific job, but he got hit far too frequently (and stunned) for me to say he did a better job than a guy who hardly got hit and totally dominated every aspect of the fight.

Not knocking Cotto....i love watching him. Just don't think he was as effective at 140 as Hatton has been. 147 = different story.

Clearly Hatton. If Paulie bothered to stand up and actually take part in the fight it would have been over by rd 5.

Fair enough, ono. I still don't get the point of the thread, but I can agree on a lot of your points. I will say that IMO Cotto was pretty damn effective at 140. But as time went on he found it harder and harder to make the weight. He moved up to 147 at the right time.

EXACTLY!

We also have to consider that Cotto broke his hand in the fifth round so basicly Paulie was defending himself against a one armed man from rounds 5 1/2 to 12. What is really shocking is that Hatton's faces was all bruised How can you suffer lumps and bruises from a guy who hits like a girl? I did not see anything new from Hatton other than patience but Paulie was taking a play out of the Mayweather Jr. play book and ducking and grabbing Hatton by the head like Floyd did. Paulie is Cotto's damaged goods. Pualie has never been the same since then. If Malignaggi and Hatton are the best of the 140 lb division, I think this division is weak as phuk. I thought the fight was pretty boring but it was not Hatton's fault of course because it was Paulie who was doing most of the hit and hold but Hatton likes to do a little of that himself but I dont consider his style hit and hold it's more like hit, hold, hit, hold and maul your opponent which is different from what Paulie has to do since he is not considered an inside fighter.

So who beat Paulie down worse? Cotto had this kid beaten like a pulp in under 5 rounds and the only thing that saved Paulie was the fact that Cotto broke his hand. End of.

[leftylee]

I find it comical that people say Paulie was finished goods after Cotto.

NOBODY said this beforehand.
Also you may wanna check out his first fight with Lovermore N'Dou.

I can't believe Cotto conceded 5 rounds to this puff

Big wow Cotto floored him, it was a flash knockdown anyway. When Hatton landed a jab it looked like Paulie would go down.

Hatton took him to school, Paulie was very much competitive in the Cotto fight.

Easy choice IMO.

And your point.... ?

See my previous post two posts before yours.

Doesn't matter what Paulie's mouth looked like

Cotto COULD NOT get him out of there: Hatton did.
Cotto conceded 4/5 rounds: Hatton conceded 1.

Remember that Cotto broke his hand in the fifth.
Hatton never stopped Malignaggi, it was Paulies corner who stopped it. Paulie is known for being tough and his corner even took that away from him. I believe that Cotto would have knocked Pualie out had he not broken his hand. I guess we will just have to see what Hatton still has and has learned when he gets in the ring with someone better than Malignaggi who IMO sucks and after he got served by Cotto, he has never been the same but if Paulie is the best that weight division has then it is a very lousy division.

I did, it was a fight in which the ref did not allow any holding or inside fighting.
What happend in the second fight? BTW LoveMore DooDoo is an old man.
And I did not enjoy neither fights between Malignaggi and DooDoo man.

Oh... ok leftylee. You got me there. Gee, I guess that does it. By virtue of Hatton winning more rounds against Paulie than Cotto did, that must make him better.



Small minds win small arguments, eh?

[OumaFan]

Maybe Cotto did take a lot out of Paulie that's possible, but Paulie has never been that good. I don't remember Paulie winning five rounds either. I would say four was a bit of a stretch but it has been awhile. And Cotto looked horrible at the weigh in, as drained as anybody I've ever seen.

Basically Cotto did more damage partly cause Paulie was more willing to fight and Hatton won more rounds. Not that it really matters unless you're a huge fan of either guy.

[Fenster]

You can't use the argument "Cotto finished Paulie" because Paulies best performance/win came AFTER Cotto.

It's simply a case of - Paulie's not that good.

Cotto can have the excuse of being undermotivated for such a NON-dangerous puncher, as well as the OBVIOUS weight troubles he had. Cotto still smashed him.
