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

[the_godslayer]

that indeed, and that is the same reason why Mayweather will come back to fight Cotto.... thats if he wins his next fight....

i agree with this statement, i personally wont belive Floyd has quit for good until he reaches about 50 years of age and still aint come back!!!!

[WESS]

Mate, Mayweather took the fight because it was the biggest payday out there for him too! They both made each other a hell of a lot of money.

you people act like floyd is the only person that can beat hatton, he almost got dropped by a lightweight in lazcano,paulie will win 10 rounds to 2

No mate, Floyd is the only person who HAS beaten Hatton, end of point

i hope hatton destroys that little *****

nuff said mate, i cant ****ing stand him!!

Malignaggi is not an elite fighter. He will get out hustled by Hatton. Cotto destroyed Mallignaggi sending him straight to the hospital yet Paulie and his few fans feel good cause Mallignaggi lasted the entire fight? What good is it to go the distance yet get your face rearrange, lose the fight and end up in the hospital? I call that a loser not a winner, no heart, no champion.

At 140i believe Hatton hits harder than Cotto did and thats what the difference will be, Paulie wont last the distance in this one, especially as its fairly obvious now that Hatton will want to look good to make the payday with Manny even more attractive as his swansong

The haters will never admit it, but Cortez did indeed altered the fight outcome. Forcing Hatton to break every time he worked his way in took away the best chance RH had of winning. He also never warned Floyd for holding, elbowing, turning and using the headbutt. With all the fouls Floyd committed that night Cortez takes a point away from Hatton after Ricky hurt him right after Floyd landed yet another elbow and went in between the ropes to avoid getting hit again. That's when RH decided he was never going to get a fair shake and had to KO Floyd to win and he got reckless, which is always dangerous against a fast, accurate, hard punching counter puncher like Floyd.

Im pretty sure there are several threads on here debating how ****ing useless Joe Cortez is now given his recent refereeing travesties, open your eyes people, Cortez was ****ing appalling during the Hatton/Mayweather fight and has got worse since.

Perfectly agree. Floyd landed more elbows than a WWE wrestler does in an average week. Hatton would have faired much better with a coherent ref. Cortez sure gets alot of important fights for being such a ****in dimwitt.

see above, i totally agree mate

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!

and dont forget he was the lineal champ too, not bad accolades for someone who has done **** all!!!

[QUOTE=Dirk Diggler UK;3738848]Cotto was pretty weight drained at 140. I heard he had to be literally carried out of the weigh-in. You could see that in his performance as he was very sloppy and actually lost a lot of rounds to Paulie. Paulie even buzzed him in one of the rounds, he was that weak.

I agree in a way though, Paulie is actually a tough kid despite his image and persona. I can see a decision or late tko for Hatton cos he's a different beast from Cotto at 140.[/QUOTE]

people dont seem to be able to admit this for some reason but its a fair and accurate statement.

lol, Ive never seen it that bad... I thought he OVER did himself for that fight. But I have respect for Hatton. I dont see anything special, but I have respect for him. He should thank Mayweather for making his name BIG in America and making him all that money...

This is the **** that gets me...Cotto (a better puncher than Hatton) couldnt KO Malinaggi...So please explain to me how Hatton is going to KO Malinaggi...You being delusional if you think Hatton is going to KO Paulie... I could see this one going to the scorecards... Stop being bias man!

Hatton will dominate the brylcreem boy and knock him put later on.

Maywaether says that **** before EVERY fight, its not like he always delivers. He didnt predict a dodgy ref either!

Hatton all the way
Stoppage Round 5.....

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....
