I'll bet all my points on Hatton finishing Malignaggi. Glad to see these two finally getting it on, hope Hatton can shut his mouth once and for all.

We all know how important the IBO and by extension the IBO #4 is.

First Tarver, now Hatton. **** that.

I guess Paulie talking trash and bad mouthing Hatton didn't bother him enough to not fight him. I guess that rule only applies to Witter, LOL.

Nice, this should be one hell of a war.


I'll be sure to bet on Malignaggi if it happens.

Witter fights in front of a couple of people and there dog in a **** hole part of England, Paulie fights at the Garden. What is Ricky to do?

MSG will be wild for this one.

I know!!

I'd pick the minor name, in front of the 15 people and their dog in a ****hole for a nice phat 20 bucks paycheck.

Hatton has the Ring belt, which is more important than the organizational belts.

IBO always gets mentioned when someone has it. For instance, Wlad's next fight he'll be introduce as IBF, WBO, and IBO champ

Hatton by split decision if it happens. It'll be close though. If Paulie improves his inside game he could win. Also he's in his on backyard at the Garden.
