I think he beats both guys pretty easily but Witter would put up more of a fight. Paulie would get KO'd most likely. The problem with Cotto was he didn't have volume punching against Paulie, if he had, Paulie would've hit the deck. Hatton will have plenty of speed, and aggression back at 140 to maul Paulie.
I like Paulie, but I think Hatton would just be to aggressive for him and with Malinaggi not hitting very hard he wouldn't be able to keep Ricky off of him.
i also think witter might have a mental advantage over hatton because hatton takes his things to heart that witter has been sayin to him and ricky has said he wont fight him cause of it.
Who would ricky beat easier? paulie or witter?
Hatton would crush and bully Paulie. His roughousing tactics would be too much for Paulie. It would be an ugly fight and Paulie would probably go the distance and survive but would still lose. Paulie coudn't dent Hattons iron jaw.
I agree with alot of these comments but i think paulie cant take as much punishment as witter and paulie doesnt hit hard at all which makes me think ricky could beat him pretty dam bad.
