Malignaggi: "Hatton is The John Ruiz of Junior Welters"

[ALT-Assassin]

No, they hold him in fear of his power.

The same power that crippled Castillo with a body shot?Now that is POWER!

[Left Hook Tua]

I can't even joke around anymore

sorry.

besides i just said puerto rican because he's from new york.

if he was from miami i would've said cuban. los angeles i'd say mexican. chicago i'd say polish. honolulu i'd say filipino.

I see Paulie taking a unanimous decision. Hatton holds alot, doesn't have 1 punch power, lacks defense and has shown a vulnerable chin. Paulie will beat this kid like he is an amateur. Don't like Paulie, but he showed me more in defeat than Hatton has shown winning.

Acually, he has dropped quite a few guys by one punch KO. Might want to brush up on that history before ya speak. Has Paulie ever even hurt an opponent? TKO's aside? I doubt it. If Hatton came in like he did the Tszyu fight, PM will get wrecked. Simple as that.

Did you not see the interview where Ruiz said his oppenents are the ones that clinch him?

no excuse.

only the welsh can claim hand problems.

[schizzleE]

paulie should shut up

As a student of the game, paulie knows boxing--he's shilling tix for a fight--he's gone downhill as a self promoter--he dumped billy giles unceremoniously, but disses Graham
he has a pizza slice owner as HIS advisor
he has pinocchio as his promoter

broken hands/ring rust/BORING FIGHTER THREE STRAIGHT FIGHTS............

PAULIE WILL ONLY LOOK GALLANT IN DEFEAT

[markfrombrookly]

I don't know why most of you posters are saying Paulie is gonna get an ass whippin by Hatton. Let's not forget the MAJORITY of Hattons opponents were flat footed sluggers that stood in front of him and didn't really have the greatest boxing skills. And honestly the only slick boxer with good boxing skills he fought was Mayweather.. Other then that he fought sluggers that barely moved. And yeah Paulie doesnt have the biggest punch but the way Hatton lunges in when he throws his punches he won't need a big punch because Hatton will do most of the work and the impact will be alot more just like when Mayweather caught Hatton jumping in with his punch. Everyone is gonna be suprised how easily Paulie beats Hatton.. The only way Hatton has a chance is if he is allowed to grab and hit like he always does.. Paulies right he is the John Ruiz of junior welterweights.

[DuttyAlacrity]

IBF junior welterweight champ Paul Malignaggi is not worried about Ricky Hatton's recent hiring of trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. He says the Manchester fighter is very limited and was never much of a boxer. Malignaggi plans to expose Hatton's shortcomings when the the two collide on November 22 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. [details]

Hilarious......

[Nicky_Hatton]

The thing about hatton imo, is that he can't come in to a fight in sub par condition, or he wouldn't make weight.

As for Malignaggi's comments, sounds like he's dissing Graham more than Hatton...surley should be more worried now he's changed trainers.
