Fighters capable of beating Hatton at 140

all hatton does is throw a few little flurries and hold.. and hold, and hold

yea well the ring was 2x4....

Arkansas' own Jeff Lee

Junior Witter would knock Hatton out, as for Malignaggi he simply doesn't have the power or the physical strength to tame Hatton, he'd lose a decision and piss blood afterwards to boot

1. Paulie Malignaggi 2. Junior Witter Should any of these matchups take place I would definitely bet my money against Hatton. For reasons unknown Hatton and/or his camp have eluded these two fighters. A fight with either opponent will generate revenue, so there is no other logical reason why these fights should not happen, except for concern of a possible "Upset" -if that is what some might call it. I find it hard to imagine a scenario where Malignaggi gets a decision in England against Ricky Hatton. There is a reason Hatton's people don't want to fight Witter. I'm not sure Hatton shares those same sentiments but his team doesn't seem enthusiastic for such a puzzle. Witter has gotten a bad reputation from the Judah fight, but he took that fight short notice. I feel he's completely redeemed himself and should be looked at as a serious challenger.

Hatton's team sees Malignaggi as a guy they can make a lot of money against, grab a title belt, and not have too much of a challenge. People will look at the Ngoudjo fight, and see that as evidence to why Hatton would win in eays fashion. But I just see Malignaggi using the Mayweather blueprint, clutch Hatton's left arm inside when he goes in to clinch. Lock his arm until the ref breaks them. Paulie tried to do this in the Cotto fight and had some success. Paulie would also move more intelligantly than Floyd did. May was back peddaling to try and set up big counter punches, Paulie would let his hands go a lot more, and move more laterally.

I think Malignaggi and Witter can, but Witter has the much better chance

Any B level fighter. Hatton sucks, and if he dares to fight pbf again the outcome will be much worse.

I seriously doubt he'd do that again, he knew he made a tactical error by doing that and I think he's smart enough not to do that with Hatton. Hatton should really come back in his pre-Tszyu style, he was a much better fighter with that style IMO. Yeah he made a big error in doing so, I really hope he get to see the Pre-tsyzu Hatton not the aftermath Tyszu-Hatton.

...and which Hatton was that...He was no different than any other Hatton that we have seen in the past aggressive no doubt but same old hatton....punch, hold, punch, hold, punch, hold.........until some space was created......and the lights went dim.........then out. Except he was particularly fast, agressive and looked great IMO. Not nearly good enough to beat PBF the "P4P#1" but definitely good enough to smash a mediocre(IMO) Junior Welterweight.

Well we might all get a surprise, In the Cotto fight Paulie M didnt Move like i thought he would. I actually thought he would use his better movement to offset Cotto but he took right in the middle and trade with a bigger fighter in Cotto.

He landed a couple shots on cotto, but for every shot he landed, there were about 4 attempts to clinch and hold Cotto so he couldn't move. I honestly think if it wasn't Smoger who allows fighters to do what they want, Paullie would have gotten stopped. I love Smoger but Paullie turned that fight into a wrestling match.

I feel like it will get so ridiculous that Hatton will do something comical in the ring to make fun of Malinaggi. Somethign to try and get under his skin. LIke when he turned around and bent over at the PBF fight. I think we'd see a much better Malinaggi than in the Ngoudju fight but.. Hatton will do a lot of work during those clinches. Paullie would only be safe with really swift lateral movement. If the Hatton that showed up for PBF comes to fight Paulie, then I have trouble imagining Paulie lasting the 12 rounds. ...and which Hatton was that...He was no different than any other Hatton that we have seen in the past aggressive no doubt but same old hatton....punch, hold, punch, hold, punch, hold.........until some space was created......and the lights went dim.........then out.

Witter has the best chance to beat him, Malignaggi has a chance. Ricardo Torres could give Hatton some trouble but I don't think Torres would beat him. You beat me to it. I don't think Torres would be an easy fight for Hatton by any means. With Ricky pigging out the way he does between fights, it will get continuously harder to make 140, decreasing his effectiveness there.

I could just see it now, Jab..jab..hold then jab..jab..hold. am sure thats how the fight would go for 12 rounds.

Paulie is gonna be on his bycicle runnin from Hatton all night. Even if Paulie manages to pull off the decision it's only gonna be through a hard to watch hit and run performance that would give Cory Spinks chills.

They're capable of beating Hatton but i'm convinced Hatton beats both.

Hatton is already fighting Paulie M. Paulie is gonna be on his bycicle runnin from Hatton all night. Even if Paulie manages to pull off the decision it's only gonna be through a hard to watch hit and run performance that would give Cory Spinks chills.
