Hatton vs Malignaggi? Anyone really care about this fight?

[Tito BHB]

Hatton opted to push through with this fight instead of a mega fight with the Pacman. Paulie also not open to the idea of step aside money.

I guess both protagonists considered this fight important but only few fans were really interested in this fight.

BTW Vegas bookmakers installed Hatton as a 5 to 1 favorite.
.

Thats well worth a bet in my opinion.

I agree. Slick Paulie has a big chance of outpointing Hatton. What a whooping winnings!

5 to 1 HOLY FUCK!!!!...I'd take that bet in no time!

I checked the actual odds right now and Paulie is only +250 at SKYBET...

From a purist perpective this is a great match up. Not only is it a great contrast of styles but it's my favorite contrast of styles. Brawler verses quick footed boxer.

I've grown to love Hatton but i love Paulie's style

[Puya]

I do. I want to see what Hatton has left.

If either wins who should they fight?

If Hatton wins he should call out Pac, if Paulie wins he should call out Bradley.

I still want to see Hatton Vs Witter! Iv'e been waiting years for it! Not to fussed about Malignaggi,the LWW isn't even half as deep as it used to be,i'd like to see Malignaggi move up if he won.Actualy Malignaggi Vs Judah at 140 would intrest me!!

[El Kabong]

If Hatton loses a fight vs Witter would still sell....if Paulie loses then a fight with Kendall Holt would be good or even Demitrius Hopkins. Even if Malinaggi wins he's not going to be able to get a big fight like Hatton will.

If Ricky wins he calls out either Pac or De la Hoya for a farewell fight if he wins or a payday if he loses then setting up a farewell fight vs someone liek Witter.

Your right about the division not being as strong as it once was. when Hatton took on Tszyu it was one of if not the best division in the sport. There were the likes of Tszyu, Hatton, Judah had not long since gone up and should really go back to the weight, Mayweather, Gatti and so on. Now the best we can hope for is Hatton v Malignaggi its a shame really.

It was definatly the best in the Sport Tszyu,Floyd,Cotto,Hatton,Gatti,Witter,with Castillo and Corales on the verge of moving up there are some dream match ups there mixing any of them names together!

I can't seem to get motivated about this fight only because IMO both Hatton and Malignaggi's stock has been dropping due to their piss poor performances as of late. Is anyone else really interested in this fight? I mean these are seen as nothing more than clowns right now, we had Hatton come out wearing a fat man suit and faught like one too. His fight against an old Lazcano was nothing to write home about. BORING is the word. Malignaggi comes out still wearing those rediculous extensions in his hair which caused nothing but laughter and other than that he too stunk up the joint. Can you blame me for not getting excited about this fight? It seems as though they are more entertaining outside of the ring than they are inside of the ring today. Maybe they are in the wrong proffesion or something. Clowns and comedians if what I see.

Did PBF ruin Hatton or was Hatton over rated? Did Cotto ruin Malignaggi or did he too just always suck? I thought there was a little bit of Camacho Sr's style in Malignaggi but I have not seen this style since the Camarena bout. I guess he is a chep imitation, very cheap.

Both camacho and Paulie were trained out of gleasons by billy giles for parts of theyr careers and i think thats where the similarities are..

As for both guys yeah i agree the stock has gone down.. for sure..

But i gotta say paulie is my man.. and im not one of these fickle fans so i keep the faith

Course Malignaggi split with billy giles and went with Mcgirt after the cotto fight.. Which hasnt seemed to do him all that much good..
Only really amazing performance i liked was the cherry fight.. hes a genuine challenge.. so is Ndou dont get me wrong but the styles were always gona be a masterclass on Ndou.. he hasnt as much to offer,
I dont know what it is about these guys going with buddy and it doesnt really seem to work out 80% of the time.. stick with who brought you to the dance i say..

So yeah sure im interested.. I want paulie to take out hatton and spoil his retirement party..

I hate Paulie Malinaggi with every fiber of my being!

I like Ricky Hatton....I hate his fans with a passion.


That being said Hatton is ripe for the picking. Paulie can take punishment, he's fast, he's crafty, and he has fast (albeit brittle) hands.

Ricky is older, he gets tired in the ring now due to blowing up between fights, he's easier to hit now, he's slower and I don't think he has the power anymore couple that with a sudden change in trainers and.....I think Paulie COASTS to a UD...sorry

I agree with you about Hattons state.....but don't say you don't like Hatton fans without a reason bud, unless your on about the booing again, if so, heard it before.
