    Please tell me.

    In fact, aren't you better served NOT to be close to a fighter if you land zero on him, but he is landing hard shots on you.

    Again, this is a BOXING forum.

    FFS.
    He mentioned one thing then you started on another. His point was that he could get close to Mayweather but was unable to land due to mayweather defensive ability. However, Malignaggi does not posses the same ability that Mayweather does so Hatton will be able to land punches. Got it?

      1) Who is "bitching"?

      2) I am pointing out the idiocy of saying that a fighter can "keep up" with another when you are trying to say that he can "get close even without landing punches". What is the BOXING VALUE of being close to a fighter if you can't land punches? Tell us.

      3) you are "typing up articles" now?

        Again... what is the RELEVANCE or value of getting close if you can't land punches?

        Answer that question.

          I think the Paulie fight is going to be tougher then Ricky thinks. Malignaggi may lack power, but his speed and skill is superior enough to cause Hatton's body (face) prone to cuts. I saw flaws in the Lazcano fight that Paulie i'm sure will be looking to pick apart.

          I still see Ricky winning, but this fight will see just how much Hatton has left in him and if he wins should look at a career payday (Pacquiao) and call it quits.

            Maybe misworded, But the concept is fine is you actually think about it. If he could get in close against Mayweather, he will be able to get in close against Malignaggi. Hatton could not land cleanly on Mayweather because of his great defense, but Paulie does have defense anywhere near as good. So the result is, Hatton should be able to get close to Paulie, and land punches and therefore win the fight. The analogy was fine if you thought about it.

              FFS, Your a moron. Re read what i said. It is nothing to do with the Hatton-Mayweather fight, Mayweather won clearly. But the point is if Hatton could get close to Mayweather he can get close to Malignaggi (You got that?? Or do i need to run it by you for a 4th time?) However, Hatton couls not land on Mayweather (OK? Got that?) because of his defense (With me?) but Paulie does not have the same defense (Get it?) so he will be able to land (Savvy?)

              Getting close without landing punches has no real relevance, but Hatton couldn't land on Mayweather because of his defense, Malignaggi doesn't have defense anywehre near as good. Now, If you are still to ****** to understand this expect no answer as I will copy and paste this because i am not going to explain this for a 5th time.

                1) Prior to calling anyone a moron, you should ensure that you have more than a passing familiarity with the English language.

                Your (sic) a moron. Really?

                2) Hatton will get close to any fighter. Again: what is the boxing value if he isn't landing effective punches? Do you think that hatton has been doing effective inside work? Do you? The last authoritative punch that Hatton landed was in the 4th round of JLC...and that was at a 'working distance'. Getting in close and mauling Urango was without value. Getting in close to FMJ just got his pink ass chopped up. How did the Lazcano fight go again?

                Please. Stop yourself.

                These guys get a "B" at their community college and fancy themselves geniuses.

                    {Rule Britannia,God Save The Queen}.God damn Yanks think their gods gift to boxing,but the truth is they would rather order a ten piece combination at KFC than to put on a pair of gloves to throw a combination.All of their boxers are bums and Pavlik is the best one with his one demsional style.If the best America can produce is an Albino robot there isn't much hope for the fat yanks.

                      Maybe I should rename this thread to a more suiting name? Maybe "All americans suck, brits rule" or something gay like that. Seems 25 views in 2 hours is pretty poor for my likings.
