Malignaggi: "I'm Ready To Rock-n-Roll with Hatton"

[WESS]

You have crap for bank, but i'll bet you that Hatton beats Paulie.

Another thing. PBF fought Hatton because he brings the best payday besides ODLH and way more fans. Floyd was happy as hell that he got out of that fight in one piece , so don't go saying that he knew he would do this or he knew he would do that because the fact of the matter is that anything can happen in that ring and Floyd knew that Hatton was a tough customer. That's why he cried like a baby when he won with his kids in the ring. He happened to land a good KO punch that he knew would not happen every time. Good props to him. But , saying that every fighter who beats another fighter is on a higher level is just boxing-ignorance. Hatton lost, but was not outclassed alltogether. He was beaten by more than just Floyd on that night.

Did you not see Mayweather go and talk crap in front of the Hatton fans and give them all a middle fingers, cuss at them and just act a fool (just to cause drama to sell the fight). He said he was going to knock out there hero. Everything he did in the ring that night he said he was going to do. I don't necessarily agree with going over to someone else's country and being a fool, but I understand WHY he did it. He sold the fight and they both made millions. PBF called that fight. He said he would "EXPOSE" hatton. he said he would "BEAT THAT MOTHER****IN' ASS" I could keep going, but i'm sure you know all the **** talking he did. I respect Hatton, he is one hell of a FIGHTER and exciting to watch, I just believe he will loose if him and Malignaggi go at it. They both will leave that fight busted....

Based on what? Mallignaggi can't bust a ballon with his punches and almost got beat in the 3 title fights he has won by bums who have **** all for defense and constant pressure. What aspect of his game makes you think he can possibly defeat Ricky Hatton?

Lol good point! If anyone has looked like they're in decline, its been Malignaggi with his recent performances!

[Chase8400]

Hatton is the best at 140 on paper, but he is in decline and each fight his preformance is worse than the one before.

I cant stand Pauli and I would love to see him knocked out but I pick him to win this fight and to do it quite easily.

I dont see how he's in decline. If you mean he hasnt hit the heights of the Kostya fight, then i'd probably agree.

Pretty sure he won every round against Lazcano. People only seem to remember him getting buzzed twice in that fight and equate that to a bad performance. Hatton has been buzzed like that a few times in his career. Comes with the territory and his style. I actually thought he looked good.

Although if you were watching it on American tv, I can see how you've come to such a warped conclusion.

You make it sound like Malignaggi is fighting some sort of gatekeeper who's gonna test him if he's good enough for the top. Hatton IS the top. Hes the best at 140. If Paulie wins, he's the man.

lol naa he just fought because that's what the fans, Hatton and his team wanted.... Money just proved to everyone what LEVEL he is on. Hatton on the other hand no where even around his level. Now this new guy Malignaggi, he needs to be tested. If he wins he will make a name for himself off of Hatton. Personally I think Hatton is done. PBF pretty much exposed him so badly it was sad. I think if they fight it will be a good one, but like I said I think Hatton will loose to Malignaggi by a UD. Dude will just out work him and counter him all night. I defiantly don't think he will win by a KO but will win on points. Hatton i think will land some good body shots by "trying" to fight rough/dirty but over all I think he will loose. Will be an entertaining fight though. I hope his hand injury goes well and is 100%. ready. If not he will surely loose...

Floyd didnt "expose" Hatton. Hatton had several disadvantages going into the fight and a few more during the fight. Even then, Floyd was only really brilliant for 3 rounds of that fight (8,9 and 10).

I personally dont see it. Paulie isnt as elusive as people think. Hes actually very easy to hit. And he doesnt back off as much as you'd think. He stood and mixed it with Cotto and N'dou in the rematch. He's actually a tough kid and I can see him escaping with a decision loss.

Floyd needed to be tested? Cos he's the only guy that's passed.

What a ****ing ******ed comment!

He called Gavin Rees a top 140 fighter!!!

Hatton beat Tszyu - the Man at 140, considered at the time no2 p4p in the world. He had beat Sharmba Mitchell by devestating knockout 6 months before he fought Hatton. Mitchell was in the top 3 at 140.

He beat Maussa who was the WBA Champion. He had knocked out Vivain Harris cold. He'd only been stopped once - on cuts - against Miguel Cotto. Hatton knocked him clean out.

He beat the IBF Champ, Urango, undefeated at the time. Then beat Castillo.

So all in all Hatton beat the top guy at 140, two other legitimate world champions and his number one challenger in Castillo.

Yeah Hatton's sure done **** all at 140!

He failed to realize that Hatton was the lineal champ before any of those fools held paper titles. What an ignorant douchebag. Hatton is the ones "they" need to get critisized for not fighting.

if collazo at welter can't beat hatton, neither can PM... besides because the pacquino fight, boxing politics will make sure hatton wins. (doubt they'll need to help, because collazo>paulie imo).
