    I feel like it will get so ridiculous that Hatton will do something comical in the ring to make fun of Malinaggi. Somethign to try and get under his skin. LIke when he turned around and bent over at the PBF fight. I think we'd see a much better Malinaggi than in the Ngoudju fight but.. Hatton will do a lot of work during those clinches. Paullie would only be safe with really swift lateral movement. If the Hatton that showed up for PBF comes to fight Paulie, then I have trouble imagining Paulie lasting the 12 rounds.

      Witter has the best chance to beat him, Malignaggi has a chance. Ricardo Torres could give Hatton some trouble but I don't think Torres would beat him.

        You beat me to it. I don't think Torres would be an easy fight for Hatton by any means. With Ricky pigging out the way he does between fights, it will get continuously harder to make 140, decreasing his effectiveness there.

          Well we might all get a surprise, In the Cotto fight Paulie M didnt Move like i thought he would. I actually thought he would use his better movement to offset Cotto but he took right in the middle and trade with a bigger fighter in Cotto.

            ...and which Hatton was that...He was no different than any other Hatton that we have seen in the past aggressive no doubt but same old hatton....punch, hold, punch, hold, punch, hold.........until some space was created......and the lights went dim.........then out.

              He landed a couple shots on cotto, but for every shot he landed, there were about 4 attempts to clinch and hold Cotto so he couldn't move. I honestly think if it wasn't Smoger who allows fighters to do what they want, Paullie would have gotten stopped. I love Smoger but Paullie turned that fight into a wrestling match.

                I seriously doubt he'd do that again, he knew he made a tactical error by doing that and I think he's smart enough not to do that with Hatton.

                Hatton should really come back in his pre-Tszyu style, he was a much better fighter with that style IMO.

                  Except he was particularly fast, agressive and looked great IMO. Not nearly good enough to beat PBF the "P4P#1" but definitely good enough to smash a mediocre(IMO) Junior Welterweight.

                    Yeah he made a big error in doing so, I really hope he get to see the Pre-tsyzu Hatton not the aftermath Tyszu-Hatton.

                      Should any of these matchups take place I would definitely bet my money against Hatton. For reasons unknown Hatton and/or his camp have eluded these two fighters. A fight with either opponent will generate revenue, so there is no other logical reason why these fights should not happen, except for concern of a possible "Upset" -if that is what some might call it.
                      Who did Malignaggi or Witter beat and in what fashion to make you believe this?
                      Please point out fights where you have seen either of these guys display anything to support your opinion.
                      Thanks.
