Hatton v. Malignaggi

[amagnin]

i give props to malinaggi with his win, but who **** is this guy really? hatton would waste him and it would be a drop in class for hatton to fight this guy. Hatton needs to fight the winner of williams/margarito or mayweather. if hes gotta fight mallinaggi to get to mayweather then so be it.

I agree with you to an extent that Malignaggi isn't nearly as accomplished as Hatton right now, but he does hold a belt and Hatton doesn't. So it sort of makes sense at some level as I don't think Mayweather is coming out of retirement and the winner of Margarito/Williams is probably fighting Cotto. Maybe Vivian Harris is an option as someone else suggested but this seems as good of an option.

What, he won't know if it was a gnat or a moth?

I really wonder how Hatton would respond to the speed because Paulie is even faster than Collazo. You have to believe Malignaggi is prepared for the relentlessness of the hitman because hes already been in the ring with one of the few guys who can match it in Cotto.

Yeah, Malignaggi was "in the ring" with Cotto, but he got slaughtered. He has not shown anything that demonstrates that he is prepared for Hatton.

Assuming that Hatton gets by Castillo on Saturday. What do people think about this match up. Malignaggi can be boring but I think after last night that when fighting a come forward fighter like Hatton it can make for an exciting fight.
I would favor Hatton to simply overwhelm him. N'Dou was able to land shots but he didn't commit to the body enough and he didn't cut off the ring well enough. Hatton does both much better and as a result I think he wins a UD. I don't think he will stop Malignaggi because Cotto couldn't.

come on man....nobody is saying ndou is a legend, but he is a good fighter & makes u earn a win should he lose....paulie schooled him from start to finish & paulie showed he is a MOBILE fighter, NOT A RUNNER, like we have seen recently....he beat ndou easier than cotto did & ndou took the fight against miguel on short notice.....& if collazo can box , frusterate & many believe BEAT hatton, so can paulie....ye i would say hatton gets the edge over all however, been in the top level longer....
going back to the PM-cotto fight.....for a kid fighting mostly out of the hammerstein ball room to jump up to a level like cotto, he didn't do half bad & had his moments at times (despite having a broken face, lol....he impressed many people)

two things i think hatton has over cotto is he's more ring savy and intelligent and has a better chin. like ive said i think hatton would have learnt in the collazo fight and be able to cut off ring which is a major obstacle against mali.
then hatton will fight his fight more.

i think this match up comes down to the referee........if its a ref like eddie cotton, then malignaggi wins....

if its a ref that allows hatton to clinch and maul, then hatton wins.

yall can hate on Paulie all ya want, but the boy has skillz... Id like see if hatton would accept the fight..

Nah I don't think the ref would be a factor. N'Dou just isn't the technician that Hatton is. And in case you missed it all of the clinching on Saturday night was done by Malignaggi.
