Paulie Malignaggi Blasts Ricky Hatton: The Baiting Begins

[The_Italian]

You know people usually like Ricky even if they dont like him as a fighter, because he's such a cool guy, but I mean his style is kind of annoying cause he always hugs. However, I have a feeling this fight would bring out the best of Ricky, and I think he'd surprise a lot of people, sort of how Cotto surprised a lot of people by outboxing Mosley instead of mauling him.

do you think hatton can actually outbox paulie?

[Mr. Cool]

do you think hatton can actually outbox paulie?

No but Hatton can outhug Paulie.

Paulie talks a lot ****, he has a huge mouth.... but let's be honest here. If Hatton isn't allowed to hit and hold every second of this fight and actually boxes, Paulie takes this by a wiiiiiddddddeeeeeee margin. Paulie is the superior boxer in every single aspect (except power, of course) Hatton IS NOT, I repeat IS NOT stopping Paulie. If Cotto couldn't stop him, do you really think Hatton could?

Paulie by WIDE UD, all the way.

No but Hatton can outhug Paulie.

hatton could out-hug all the kids in the world (with teddy bears) combined...

[BetterCallSaul]

Hatton does not hit and hold as much as people think he does. Hatton like to get on the inside and push into the opponent to pressure them. This may look like he is holding but 7 out of 10 times he isn't.

Im not denying he holds now and then, but he is not the hit and hold Hatton everybody makes him out to be.

I see a lot of people on here still haven't learned the difference between clinching and holding.

true but he does force some of those clinches excessively...which still isnt fair...

i can understand if your arms get tangled between punches or if you're hurt but he does it to gain an edge.

when you force a clinch without being hurt or your arms getting tangled up its called holding in my book.

you tell em paulie

[mojack]

I can't wait to see Paulie **** him up.

You obviously know absolutely nothing about boxing.

Paulie is no master boxer. He's an averagely skilled fighter with good speed and no power. Hatton takes this by 4 rounds minimum and I wouldn't rule out a TKO.
