two, he aint got enough pop to keep a serious puncher off him!
Your right Paulie has good boxing skills, but his lack of power is going to hurt against Hatton who will keep coming forward and try to bully Malinaggi. IMO it's an interesting fight, but Hatton still wins.
If Cotto didn't stop Paulie then there is no way on god's green earth that Hatton is going to do it. Cotto is twice the fighter Hatton is and couldn't put Malignaggi away. IMO, this is a close fight with Hatton taking the early rounds and trying to hug his way to a decision with Paulie's movement and jab giving him the later rounds.

Interesting to note that you don't think Cotto draining his body to make the Light welterweight limit was the reason he didn't stomp Malignaggi, It's no coincidence that his fight against Paulie was his last at 140.
Hence, if a weight drained Cotto couldn't KO Malignaggi, a natural LW in Hatton has no chance?

I agree that Hatton wouldn't stop Paulie. The only thing going for Hatton over Cotto in this case is that Rick throws more punches.
