Ricky Hatton Eyes Malignaggi For 140 Return

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to various reports in the UK, upon moving back down to the junior welterweight limit of 140-pounds, Ricky Hatton (43-1, 31KOs) is going to set his sights on IBF champion Paulie Malignaggi (23-1, 5KOs). Malignaggi returns on January 5, facing mandatory Herman Ngoudjo in Atlantic City. [details]

This is what I said would happen. Malignaggi first then Witter. Hatton wins this one by late TKO or decision.

He needs to fight Witter, I'm pretty sure Witter is upset.

[jawsmafia]

yeah i think he should fight witter at some point, but a Malignaggi could be a good return fight before witter

[jawsmafia]

He needs to fight Witter, I'm pretty sure Witter is upset.

yeah witter keeps calling him out, apparently he's not having any of it

[Jim Jeffries]

Now if Malignaggi knocks out Hatton, he might as well retire. But seriously, good to see him getting back in the ring. Malignaggi, Witter, and then one more big fight and then retire would be good. After watching Cotto/Torres tonight, I wouldn't mind seeing Hatton fight Torres.

[Konstantin]

It will probably be an ugly but interesting fight.

Better make it in the USA if you want the actual rules of boxing enforced, Paulie. Otherwise, don't even sign up

where do u get that **** from, Rickys last 4 fights have been in the usa and hes fought within the rules

If Cotto couldnt finish Malignaggi, Hatton won't either. His sheer aggression and workrate should win him a decision though
