Now that you mentioned Malignaggi, here's his latest comments on Hatton:
"Holt, Bradley, Judah and Pacquiao KOs Hatton" ... I agree with Malignaggi...
"This is not a knock on Buddy personally, but I left the ring three years ago when I fought Miguel Cotto and I said ‘wow, for anybody to beat this guy, and I’m not saying he’s unbeatable, you will be in a fight.’ Three years later, I’m still right about that,” he said. “I got out of the ring with Hatton and you know what I said? Kendall Holt will knock this guy out, Tim Bradley will knock this guy out, Zab Judah will knock this guy out, and the winner of (Manny) Pacquiao-(Oscar) De La Hoya will knock this guy out. This isn’t even a knock on Hatton. People will read this and say ‘Paulie’s being a sore loser.’ Hatton and his family treated me unbelievably; they were the nicest people I’ve met in this business; they’re awesome people. So this is not a personal knock on Ricky, but at the end of the day, I call it as I see it. Some people don’t like my honesty, and some people think I’m making stuff up because I’m a sore loser. But I will take this to my grave, and people can call me crazy, call me a sore loser, call me whatever they want, but if I’m Paulie Malignaggi, Ricky Hatton doesn’t touch me in the ass with a handful of rice for 12 rounds.”
Malignaggi has a long history of talking crap. He was dominated and made to look like a total idiot. Seems like a serious case of bitterness from Paulie and an inability to take responsibility for his own performances. It takes Paulie 3 years to realise things weren't working right?

He's a muppet and had the fight knocked out of him, McGirt was giving Paulie some decent advice but Paulie chose to ignore it and keep ducking low and hugging on the inside. If he stayed on the outside Hatton would have stopped him sooner anyway so maybe it was sensible for him to just try and survive.
And as for Malignaggi saying all those guys would beat Hatton, well that's just Paulie talking himself even further down the list.
