    Yeah right. Hatton is a tougher opponent for both fighters. Witter and Malignaggi would be like Torvill and Dean all over again.

      Think about it Style-wise Witter is tougher for Paulie M than Hatton, Hatton is easier to find than Witter..To land a punch clean would be harder than landing on hAtton.

        I've thought about it. Witter and Malignaggi would stand off each other whereas Hatton would be in their faces.

          Moz,

          With all due respect, I think you continue to over-rate Hatton. In truth, Ricky is very beatable due to his one-dimensionality.

          You can be 'in their face", but if you are not landing effective stuff, it is to no benefit.

          Witter is 33. That fight needs to happen very soon.

            I probably do overrate Hatton but the people who underrate him tend to be the purists who are appalled by Hatton's unconventional style and believe that guys like Witter and Malignaggi are superior to him because they play it by the book. Hatton has landed enough effective stuff in 43 fights and I've seen little from Malignaggi and Witter to convince me that they can withstand or withdraw from Hatton's attack.

              Hatton did not land effective stuff on Collazo. The best punches wee landed by Louise.

              Besides, the test of your abilities is when you step up in class. Hatton's worst outings have been when he fought the better, prime guys. When he isn't able to beat you with his physicality, he fades badly late.

                I dont know why you keep discrediting Hatton as a fighter, If you do not like him fine but I have never seen anyone discredit a fighter as much as you do with Hatton. If you think he is that terrible than surely even a out of prime Kostya and Castillo would have beaten him like they were with other fighters?

                  The only person he stuggled with aprt from Mayweather was Collazo

                    He looked terrible in the last four or five rounds of the Urango bout.
