    This Hatton-Malignaggi fight is still a whole year away anyway, which is kind of weird when you think about it. Fighters today are nowhere near busy enough.

      My first thought about this was "WTF? Why not fight each other? This is bull****." But then I thought about it, Malignaggi is still a nobody when compared to Hatton, this is the only way this fight will make money, after all, nobody wants to see the number one light welter beating on bums nobodies ever heard of, at least if some people have heard of him it will make more money.

        Kill two birds with one stone for Paulie. Build up his bout with Hatton and take care of his rematch with N'dou.

          Should be a good card then. When hatton and paulie fight its a close call. Before malignaggi/ngougo I would of picked paulie to outbox hatton, but now im thinking hatton may be to strong like cotto was. Plus hatton wont be weightdrained like cotto.

            N'dou? What a waste of time. Forget honoring the contract just get rid of the belt. This is the most unnecesary rematch ever.

              Good idea to showcase them on the same card and Malignaggi can shut Ndou up, who'll Hatton fight?

                Looks like thats the case. It sucks that N'dou is wanting a rematch so bad, i guess any fighter would, but he got pretty much dominated in there first fight and to be honest I think that's what's going to happen again. Maybe this will set up a fight with Malinaggi and Hatton at the end of the year.

                  Damn, I wanted Paulie to go away sooner and I was hoping Hatton was going to hook me up. But now I have to wait.

                    I wonder who Hatton will fight? Maybe Torres?
