Paulie handles Cotto's barage, and he's better than Hatton, so he should win.Comment

This is a match up that I'm really looking forward. If the Malignaggi that showd up against Cotto, who wanted to prove himself this could be a classic. If the Malignaggi shows up who thinks he's star and can count on his status this will be BS.
What ppl were excited about with Floyd against Hatton is right here. Floyd was simple a class above Hatton... but Malignaggi is right in there. Hatton has very good lateral foot speed so he will close the gap often enough. I don't think that Paulie can knock him out... so this could be a 12 round war. Could be a great one...Comment
