The perfect analogy on why Paulie M. will beat Hatton

[frankpaganini]

That's exactly why Pavlike wouldn't knock Hopkins out. He has solid defense where Taylor does not which is why I would never make that assumption. Paulie Malignaggi as you said has solid defense and good boxing skills. My analogy makes perfect sense in comparing the two fights. Paulie the boxer passed the test and went the distance with Cotto even being competitive in a few rounds where as Hatton the agressor got outboxed and knocked out against Floyd.

Will Paulie KO Hatto like Floyd did? Absolutely not but he will outbox him. Did Cory Spinks need punching power to compete against Taylor or Judah in the first fight or Mayorga? Punching power will not be an issue in this fight.

i think it will be an issue.

Hatton likes to bully his way in.

He's shown this time and time again. Usually it doesnt hurt him because he's fighting guys he's obviously better than but when he tried that against mayweather he got tagged all night and eventually hit with the check left hook that won the fight for floyd (or started the beginning of the end).

Paulie doesnt have the power to make hatton pay for coming inside without a jab or without his guard up.

so paulie either has to use up all his energy to keep away from hatton or make him pay for coming in by bullying.

if paulie doenst have the power to hurt hatton (or knock him out) then what will stop hatton from just walking past punishment to deliever punishment of his own (like happened against mayweather)?

we both agree paulie will win but i still think it will be closer than you predict.

These two are DEFINITELY on polar opposites when it comes to fighting styles. It will be an "interesting" bout to say the least.

Yes so he lost to the better man. So why do people keep making the 7 pound difference an issue. Why the excuses for fighting one division above the weight class he started his career at.

Don't all fighters eventually grow out of their first weight class. Floyd grew out of super-featherweight and even lightweight.

Isn't that the point. That hatton just wasn't good enough to compete at welterweight and ran back down to 140 where he will soon start having health issues because of the constant weight draining.

Go back to my original post of this thread. The Agressor vs Boxer analogy with Cotto/Malignaggi Mayweathr/Hatton. It's all boxing skills, weight has noting do with it.

Yes he lost to the better man but there's no question Hatton's a natural 140 pounder and doesn't belong at 147. I'm pretty sure most on these forums woyld agree with both you and me in the sense Ricky would lose at any weight class against Floyd and with the fight being held at 147 Floyd had the advantage because he carries the weight better and is the bigger, stronger man. Again it doesn't matter because Floyd would still beat Ricky but it's pretty evident on both of Ricky's fights at WW he doesn't belong. He weighed in for the Mayweather fight at 145 saying that 147 was too "heavy" and that he wouldn't go past 154 over night like he did for Luis Collazo because according to him he came too heavy for that fight. A legitimate WW would gain more weight overnight and weigh in at the least 146 pounds. Ricky's too small to be a WW.

There is no way Hit and Hold Hatton will stop Malignaggi. No way. He doesn't throw in combinations, his only real effective punch is a left hook to the body and one of those ****** jabs that require a whole body rotation.

Malignaggi won't be able to stay outside the whole night, look for Malignaggi to score points while Hatton comes in, then smothering Hatton's offense. Hatton doesn't do anything instead really anyway.

In the later rounds, Hatton will slow down a bit and then Malignaggi might be able to box from the outside

Hatton used to come forward and fight against bums.Ever since he stepped up in class all he does is hold.

Paulie will probably win every round

BUMP for the poster Felixion.

Get real dude, Hatton barely dealt with a feather fisted Lazcano, almost getting knocked out in the process.

He is easy pickings now, Floyd took his confidence away from him and Malignaggie will finish the job with a comfortable Unaminous Decision.

Malignaggi (the boxer) did better in his loss to Cotto (the agressor) then Hatton (the agressor) in his loss to Floyd (the boxer)

Now Malignaggi the boxer will go up against a come forward (agressor) fighter in Hatton, who isn't as good as Cotto in terms of punching power or accuracy. Some might say "well malignaggi isn't as good as Mayweather either". Well Malignaggi has more foot speed and uses much more movement then Floyd that it will virtually be impossible for Hatton to hold and make it his type of fight. The whole pressure theory of Hatton being even better at it then Castillo has already been proven wrong. And with a guy like Malignaggi who is on the bicycle for the full 12 rounds, I doubt Hatton will be effective.

Even against Collazo, a guy who has pretty decent movement (although not as good as Paulie's) he showed his weaknesses. Some might attribute that to him moving up to 147 but I don't buy it.

Malignaggi will outbox him bigtime.........remember the comment above after it happens.....it makes perfect sense.

you guys are nuts... hatton will never lose a fight in manchester!!!

Oh you're the same person I just responded to about this on the other thread.

The fight is in New York MSG, not Manchester.

Cotto is a completely different fighter to Hatton he is more patient and he applys aggression in bursts

Hatton is not patient at all he drives you back and takes away your leaverage and he is non stop aggression and the difference between Collazo and Maliganiggi is Collazo has balls to stand the and trade with anyone he might be a slick Boxer but he can fight aggresively behind his jab and he is a Southpaw a stance which Hatton has struggled with notoriously also Collazo doees not sustain that much punishment in his fights as apose to Paulie who ships lots of punishment

Malignaggi has very little chance of beating Hatton IMO unless he can back Hatton up ad he aint going do that
