    Hatton vs Malignaggi

    I want this fight more than anything (apart from maybe Blow vs Pavlik somewhere down the road). Malignaggi is possibly the most annoying, overrated prick I've ever seen in my life, and people forget how good Hatton actually is. Sure he was outclassed by PBF, but there's no shame in that in my eyes, Floyd is ****ing daddies.

    Anyone agree, disagree? Who you got if it happens, and how would it end?

    Both Malignaggi and Hatton are my boys, so its hard to pick a winner..
    They both got alot of heart, and Malignaggis got an iron chin.. But, I really do want that fight to happen too.. Hopefully after Hatton-Lazcano, they'll work it out.

    Malignaggi UD..

      Hatton needs to go back to work, pre-Tszyu style. He used to go inside and then back out, but all he does now is go inside and stay there nowadays just mauling and clinching. I was a big Hatton fan but im losing pateince with him after picking Lascano maybe a trainer change would be good for Hatton but that will never happen.

        Yeah, I'd like to see him move away from Billy Graham, but it will NEVER happen. Hatton is old school loyal, and he gets on with Billy really well. You could see that in the 24/7 series.

        Kessler, what is it about Paulie that you like, you are obviously a fan, fair enough, but I just don't see him taking a UD in this fight. Ricky would maul the **** out of him, and I just don't think he has the skills to deal with the kind of relentlessness that Hatton brings.

          Yeah, Grahamn and Hatton are like father and son, it seems.

          I like his attitude, the whole "I'm pretty, I'm this and that" I like that kinda attitude in a fighter. Kinda like Floyd..

          But, Ricky has amazing foot work and hes fast, but Malignaggi he has INSANE hand speed, he wouldn't have enough power to keep Hatton off him, but I do think he'd be able to just box him and secure a UD. Not a wide one, but a UD.

            Malignaggi doesn't have the power to keep Hatton off him and he's not a good inside fighter, I think Hatton wins a decision.

              I think Hatton stops him mid rounds, just can't see any other outcome.

                Hatton is too fast for Malignaggi. There you have it. Hatton is too fast. Hatton holds all the advantages in this fight and he's too fast for Paulie to play keep-away.

                  hatton cant fight slick fighters but paulie isnt as good as ppl are making him out to be. he doesnt have the skill set to beat hatton. hatton on top form would pound the **** out him.

                    Hatton by KO.

                    He would swarm Malignaggi and KO him in the later rounds.
