I wasn't that impressed with Hatton...

I wasn't to impressed with Hatton...he is still way to open for punches...If he fought someone with more power it would have been over for him. yeah, he needs to tighten up the defense.

I dont know what Paulie M was smoking when he said that, Hatton has to be one of the easiest fighters to find/hit along with the David Haye...So how can Hatton be awkward??? Naz was awkward....Witter is awkward not Hatton. nah, hatton is awkward because he rushes in and doesn't maintain proper punching distance.

Ok, I'm a Brit before you start having a go. But anyway, let's get a few things straight. The yanks were pretty deluded before this fight, like I've always said and everypost about Paulie, Paulie is well overated! apart from a starved Cotto that nearly put him in a body bag with a broken jaw who has Paulie faught? seriously. He's a tough cookie I'll give him that. It's an OK win for Hatton, that's about it. I wanted to see a KO. However, on a good note, Hatton looked more composed and not nearly as tired as I've seen him throughout his career. Hatton rocked Paulie off jabs as well. No doubt Paulie has the few inch advantage in height and arm reach and should have boxed Hatton all night..what happened? maybe it was true what Paulie said...Hatton is awkward.

Hatton looked good that fight he wasnt just lunging in like he used to a lot in his previous fights he jabbed and boxed his way in with good head movement and didnt realy give paulie a target to hit. And to the people trying to compare this to the Cotto fight thats retarded Paulie looked 10x better against cotto then he did against hatton, In the cotto fight Paulie moved around and worked combos and didnt clinch as much and in the hatton fight he didnt throw combos and clinched a whole hell of a lot.

Hatton looked very sharp. His stamina was maybe the best I've seen out of him. Yeah, Paul looked beat up and tired, like he just wanted it to end and Hatton looked like he could keep going for 15 rounds.

??????? I thought Hatton looked damn good. Better than he has in his last two fights.

I thought it was the same old Ricky. The stamina issue never came up because he wasn't getting hit. Paulie looked dreadful and should retire if that's all he's got. My two bobs worth.

what happened was that Ricky's footspeed and footwork more generally was way too good for Paulie. The two top British fighters both have excellent footwork, and at the start of his career hamed's was pretty special too. Wonder if this is a training difference between the gyms... difference is that hatton was humble enough to take floyd's advice. I dunno if hamed could humble himself.

I watched the replay this mornin and Hatton did his job, but it woulda lokedbetter if Paulie offered soem resistance.

I was very, very impressed by Hatton. He has faster hands than I thought he did.

I knew fine well hatton could outbox paulie. People who think hatton cant box should go check out his earlyier fights.

yeah he did good but the circumstances i weren't impressed. paulie was fighting with one hand which ppl will ignore to praise their guy.

hatton never beats floyd

Hatton didn't "outbox" Malignaggi. But he boxed reasonably well facing a guy who looked intent on surviving the last few rounds.

I was very impressed, he looked 100x better than against Lazcano and was rocking Paulie with jabs

I was pretty impressed. Hatton showed a few improvements for example he paced himself better and didn't just rush in like before. He still has a few more things to work on but so far he is looking good. Paulie is a good boxer who is tough. Hatton basically took the fight out of him. It was as soon as he hurt him he quit.

Only a few fighters can beat Ricky at all and i don't think NO ONE can beat him at 140. But still and i quote: "What kind of champion would i be if i didn't take challenges and moved up to take them?" You gotta love Hatton for this. He's really making a typical british career look greater and greater. Paulie was the man to beat at 140. True he doesn't have power but he does have skills and was the legit champion. All credit to him. And no, i'm not a fan of his but i respect him and that accomplishment. Mallinaggi was a top 10 fighter but id give Witter who Hatton Shamelessly ducked, Bradley, Torres and mabey a few others a better chance against Hatton a Ricky win was so predictable. But yeah Props for steppin up to the plate against the bigger guys. Im a big Hatton fan by the way went to the Tszyu fight and the Maussa fight and the Mayweather build up and fight is one of my fondest boxing memorys! Ricky i think is the best at 140, but he aint able to bully and manhandle the guys at 147 which hurts him up there
