Remember I said it.. Malignaggi will WIN! Hatton pretty much stayed away from pure boxers with good movement and slickness most of his career. Actually the only fighters i can really think of that were good boxers and slick type fighters were Luis Collazo and Floyd Mayweather. Luis Collazo won in alot of peoples eyes and Floyd Mayweather KOed him. There is a reason that most of the opponents that Hatton has faced throughout his career were guys that basically stood in front of him and had little to no movement. When he fights guys that dont really move and are right in front of him most of the fight it makes him look much faster then what he really is. Ricky Hatton is good at what he does though I'm not gonna hate on him although he does hold a little too much for my taste. Malignaggi is a pretty tough and physically strong guy even though he may not look it. And by physically strong I'm not talking about his punching power obviously.. He's also a great boxer that is very fast and has a very good jab and great stamina. Hatton tends to gas out lately in the later rounds so look for Malignaggi to beat him in this fight.
Yuuuuuuuuup! Paulie has got this, i have no doubt in my mind.......been banging on about it since day one.....nearly time to be proved right!
haha i bet everyone on this thread felt like such an idiot on november 22.incredible that u still call urself boxing fans
This is a typical thread that has run throughout this forum for years. I'm all for opinions but...its not as if Malignaggi even come close to beating Hatton.
Times this thread by 100 and you would have the general consensus that preceded the Lacy - Calzaghe fight, after the fight Lacy became a bum (apparently).
Hatton turned the clock back a degree in this fight, he jabbed more often and moved in and out of range and looked closer to his style of 4 or 5 years ago.
Malignaggi is obviously no Mayweather but he is a genuine top prime aged Jnr Welter who Hatton completely outclassed.
Hatton is what he is, a skillful rough house brawler but there can be no doubt of his ability.
BTW how is it Paulie was allowed to clinch at every opportunity??? Strange that.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it goes either way. I would be shocked if Ricky by some miracle lost by KO...hehe.
I'm rooting for the Hitman though. :boxing:

im gonna hold you to it
This is Paulies fight to lose...if he fights to prove how big his dick is..then he loses. If he fights the way he should and keeps his composure he boxes Hattons ears off
Maybe im not catching whats so funny
Sarcasm?
Nope, no sarcasm... I'm just pumped up for this fight because I know how good Malignaggi is, and I know how good Hatton is. And I really believe this favors a Malignaggi win. If I'm wrong, then so be it... But I really believe paulie got this in the bag.
Malignaggi is a far better boxer then Luis Collazo... Hattons in deep waters now. And as you said, alot of people believe Collzao won against Hatton... LoL!

is this even an arguement? Hatton will retire and become an alcoholic after this fight....
