Paulie Malignaggi Sees Ricky Hatton's Weakness

[squealpiggy]

paulie sure can talk, too bad he punches like a bantam weight

Funnily enough I like the cut of Malignaggi's jib. I just hope for his sake that all this talk of knocking Hatton out is just talk.

[jbin333]

OH Paulie!!!

First of all Paulie is talking about how Hatton reacts to hard punches. The one thing that people say about Paulie is that he doesn't punch hard at all,and I think Paulie knows this too.......I really hope he's able to throw Hatton a boxing lesson, and isn't just going in there for the highest payday of his career!!!

Good Luck Paulie!!! Jab Jab Stick and ove, use your quickness and ring finesse to beat this Clown!!!

So Lovemore N'Dou is a better fighter than Ricky Hatton? Ok.



Hatton's gameplan against Tszyu was not to get caught by anything big early on and take him into the trenches in the later rounds. You think not wanted to get hit clean in the first round by one of the recognised hardest pound for pound punchers in the sport equates to being "ruined"?



Ricky didn't get a chance to foul in the Mayweather fight because Cortez was all over him like semen on a frat-house sofa. Mayweather was able to foul with impunity while Hatton was prevented from fighting at all. Besides which Hatton's offense was far more effective against Lazcano, Tackie, Urango and Castillo and even Mayweather when he was using his feet, moving laterally and slipping punches and countering.



No he isn't, he's coming off a near shutout decision win. Besides, didn;t you say that Ricky was done before the Tszyu fight?



Hatton could find Mayweather, while Malignaggi was getting hit clean all night by N'Dou and Ngoudjo. Perhaps you have a very low opinion of Hatton but Malignaggi isn't that good a boxer.

1. I said N'dou has better technical skill
2. I was saying that he had to clinch and bullrush Tszyu to do so.
3. You're right, Ricky didn't get a chance to foul in the Mayweather fight. No argument there.
4.Ricky was done before his first fight lol. And I wouldn't call it a stellar performance. He got knocked out 2 fights ago and looked **** in his last fight, getting rocked numerous times. If it wasn't for the ref pausing the fight Lazcano could've had him out of there.

Ricky landed like 5 effective punches the whole night and threw maybe 5 body shots. I wouldn't call that find. 63 out of 372, according to CompuBox punch stats which is generous.

N'dou landed around 10 clean punches in both fights combined, and Ngoudjo had 3 or 4 definitively won rounds against Malignaggi, and 1 very good round, which doens't win a fight.

Yeah but what the **** is that ***** with no power gonna do?

Tickle him?

Paulie is the biggest disgrace to boxing - ever.

hahaha, lets hope hatton is not ticklish, he might pass out from laughing if he is

1. I said N'dou has better technical skill

I've never seen it. I can see the similarity in style but N'Dou has no footspeed and doesn't throw enough punches.

2. I was saying that he had to clinch and bullrush Tszyu to do so.

To avoid getting hit clean and early? It's not a tickling contest.

3. You're right, Ricky didn't get a chance to foul in the Mayweather fight. No argument there.

He didn't really get a chance to fight either. Cortez ruined what could have been a classic regardless of the result.

4.Ricky was done before his first fight lol.

Er... Riiiight.

And I wouldn't call it a stellar performance. He got knocked out 2 fights ago and looked **** in his last fight, getting rocked numerous times. If it wasn't for the ref pausing the fight Lazcano could've had him out of there.

Firstly Lazcano could not have had him out of there. It looked bad on the first watching (especally with the ****ty Versus commentary) but subsequent viewings I've found that although it is troublesome that he walked into too many big punches he wasn't as hurt as it first seemed. Secondly I judged Ricky very harshly after the Lazcano fight and I gave him ten rounds. The judges gave him 11 and 12 rounds. Lazcano was in more trouble than Ricky in that fight.

Ricky landed like 5 effective punches the whole night and threw maybe 5 body shots. I wouldn't call that find. 63 out of 372, according to CompuBox punch stats which is generous.

In the Lazcano fight? You're saying that Hatton threw 30 punches a round in the Lazcano fight?

N'dou landed around 10 clean punches in both fights combined, and Ngoudjo had 3 or 4 definitively won rounds against Malignaggi, and 1 very good round, which doens't win a fight.

You are furthermore suggesting that Malignaggi looked good against Ngoudjo?

Make up your mind. I said that Malignaggi looked awful against Herman Ngoudjo and that Hatton won 10 rounds against Lazcano. Now you're saying that Malignaggi won 7 rounds against Ngoudjo and Hatton looked awful. What is the criteria for looking awful here?

[Jim Jeffries]

Malignaggi seems like a risky fight for Ricky to take with a megapayday with Pac guaranteed. I guess it could make that fight bigger, but I think Ricky has been on the decline since the Tszyu fight because of his lifestyle and fighting style, not a fight I would take.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

His win over Kostya came at a cost. Kostya knocked the **** out of him that night and Ricky just ate it up and made him quit. Ricky was awesome, but hasn't been quite the same since. It was a hugely damaging fight for both men. I still think Hatton should have been DQ'd for the low blow. He knew he wouldn't have gotten away with that against Mayweather. Even without Cortez's awful officiation, Ricky woulda got KO'd.

What about the two low blows which Tszyu hit Hatton with prior to Hatton's retaliation???

It amazes me how some people think that Hatton was favoured in that fight yet downplay the Cortez shambles against Mayweather!

[Johnny Rebel]

Hatton will dominate this clown and the haters will just say that PM was overrated.

Have most of the Hatton haters only seen 2-3 of his fights or something? Ricky doesn't clinch as much as you think, he only did that against Tszyu to avoid being at range to eat a devastating right that KT throws or when he gets buzzed and does what every boxer is taught to do.

Usually Ricky uses his foot speed to stay inside and will work to the body and head quite effectively. Sure Hatton takes some solid shots, but thats the price you have to pay sometimes to get inside which Ricky has to do since he doesn't have the reach to box on the outside. Lazcano buzzed Ricky with 2 solid shots and Ricky never went down or even came close to and the haters make it seem like he was out on his feet.

If RH didnt have a solid chin he would've been KO numerous times. PM lacks the power to KO Hatton or keep RH at bay and will never be able to keep RH from getting inside, so he's going to lose.

I agree with Paulie.

Hatton's career is winding down fast...he's taken too many punches over the span of his career...floyd mayweather (who i argued with everyone that he wouldnt knockout hatton or even hurt him) stopped him...i think that says a lot...floyd isnt featherfisted exactly but i would say he is compared to the strength of his fellow welterweights like cotto, margarito, mosley, etc.

paulie wont stop hatton...i wouldnt even dream it...

but i think he decisions him...if paulie can fight with both hands...

look at paulie v. cherry...paulie v. ndou I and the first half of II...

when paulie can fight as a two handed fighter he dominates with his speed plus defense; precision punching...and athleticism

hatton is a very good inside fighter and is one of the current best body punchers in the sport (second to miguel cotto)...

he has the ability to work paulie to the body...if he can get close.

if paulie fights with both hands and uses his speed/defense he should be sticking and moving hatton to a decision.

I see it a split decision for paulie.
