But with the recent comments Hatton has made, - "Hatton: "I Will Outbox Malignaggi, Knock Him Out" - I'm now 100% he will lose. Because of Floyd Senior, he now has a false sense of confidence about what he can do just like Arturo Gatti did before he fought Floyd Mayweather......remember that??
Because of Buddy McGirt, Gatti actually thought he could go in there and box with Floyd using his jab and movement. McGirt convinced him and gave him a false sense of security that he could do it, until reality kicked in the fight. Had Gatti actually been agressive and went after Floyd head first, he might've not lost as bad as he did.
Like McGirt, it's all on Floyd Senior now. Will he try to change Ricky too much? Does he expect too much out of him? Lets face it, he only has trained guys who already had alot of natural boxing and athletic ability like Guzman, Dawson and Delahoya. But also WTF was Hatton thinking hiring him as a trainer???? Does he think he will teach him the shoulder roll so he won't get knocked out by wide counter hooks like he did?
Dumb decision by Ricky Hatton.
He kinda invites it when he makes these big prediction threads (check his Calzaghe Jones one out) and then the complete opposite happens.
Here is my favourite...

Not sure why you're picking on Vlad, I could name twenty other regular posters who where absolutely convinced that Malinaggi was going to beat Hatton.

Doees that really matter??? Paulie has fought plenty of hard punchers and held his own.
One thing that negates come forward pressure fighters is good footwork and the ability to get out of the inside and Paulie has that. The only reason Cotto won was not becuase of pressure but GREAT ACCURACY, something Hatton doesn't have........unless Floyd Senior is really the greatest trainer and teaches it to him in one training camp together, which I doubt.
Paulie will box his ears off, Hatton will win 4 rounds tops.
Other than Cotto, Paulie hasn't any kind of puncher at all. Most of his opposition has been crap, and he barely beat the only two guys who could fight at all.
Paulie gets beaten up by Hatton. I can't see it any other way. Paulie's in this for the money.

I had the same feeling when Hatton hired him. I was like wtf? But I think once Hatton realizes there's no way he's gonna outbox Paulie he'll revert back to what he does best.
Yes he boxed and moved against slow ass, all muscle Juan Urango. And when he fights someone with actual skills, he resort to holding and hitting, the only thing that's working for him.
And Paulie will be bigger and faster then Hatton.....same difference. Collazo didn't have any punching power but shaked him up in the 12th.
You're not honestly suggesting Paulie is stronger than Hatton? Hatton has good foot work and good accuracy, he'll demolish your little diva star.
If you watch some of Hattons earlier fights you'll see he has got actual good movement and good boxing talents, its just recently he started adopting the hug and hold tactics..

Also Tszyu was very dirty against him, thats why Hatton was dirty also, if you didn;t see this, you're very unbiased towards brits. Also don't discredit hattons win against collazo, as collazo is a very good fighter and much bigger and faster than hatton.

Hatton was a fantastic boxer pre-Tszyu, he picked up bad habits after that fight, I used to a big fan of Hattons up until that point.
I don't see the difference between him then and after. He was very dirty fighter vs Tszyu and got away with it. The only thing that happened was he realized his LIMITATIONS as a fighter when he went up and almost lost to Collazo.
At that point, he promoptly went back down to 140, got a few wins under his belt getting his confidence back, all to get his ass kicked once more at 147, this time a TKO loss.
And now he rebuilding again, this time firing an old trainer and hiring a defensive specialist in Floyd sr because he couldn't even keep Lazcano from landing on him in his hometown.
It may be a problem...but as much as I like Paulie...I don't see Hatton losing to him easily...Paulie holds a lot too, but Hatton can maul his way in clinches and put on so much pressure that Paulie is uncomfortable..
"
That's the thing. Paulie has great footwork.......even better then Floyd's. Better then Collazo's, that he won't let Ricky hold and clinch as much as you think.
He will escape alot of the clinches and continue his basic boxing of jabbing, staying on his toes and throwing combos. And if Hatton thinks he can just stand there, pretend like he has a shoulder roll defense, then he is really fukked.
