Yep, All give malignaggi some credit, he doesn't have much strength but he's a very smart boxer and I believe some people under estimate him. Hatton would be the favorite in this fight no doubt. Make all the excuses you want, but floyd exposed his weakness to fight anywhere but on the ropes. A hatton malignaggi fight would be interesting.
I think Hatton needs to fight Rees before Malinaggi but he will batter him. Believe that. Look at the pounding Mayweather took in the early rounds and that was WITH the ref saving him.
60 punches in 10 rounds.
6 punches a round.
What a pounding.
I agree with you completely...
Paulie Malignaggi (in my opinion) reminds me of a lesser version of floyd Mayweather jr.
you see in that youtube clip with the hightlights from his last fight that he's pretty damn good on defense and doesnt waste many punches.
the only downside to his game are his lack of power.
add the power in and he would be 3x's the fighter he is now.
The man can do everything. But the thing he lacks the most is the thing that will hurt him the most in the long run. NO POWER.
Paulie is another guy I just cant get myself to like. He does have talent, I'll give him that. I would like to see him fight Hatton, I think it would be a interesting fight, but I think Hatton would be too much for him. But Paulie is right up there with Floyd as far as someone I would like to see knocked out.

go back in time and change the outcome of the fight or get over it.
