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

[squealpiggy]

Lol @ thinking hatton can ko paulie whn cotto couldnt

Cotto is not as good at closing the distance and takes rounds off. Hatton should smash Paulie. If he doesn't then he should hang em up.

[Dynamite Kid]

Cotto is more patient than Hatton and he turns up the pressure at his own discretion where as Hatton puts it on you and keeps it on you and he is not patient he is over anxious if anything

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Cotto was literally carried out of the weigh in for the Malignaggi fight. He was on his last legs at 140 and was clearly sluggish in the fight. Paulie even stunned him momentarily.

Hatton is a different beast at 140. I still think Paulie will give him problems and probably survive the 12.

[ricky1978]

Paulie is a very decent boxer but he is a runner and when he does stand his ground more he ships punishment like he did against Cotto and to beat Hatton he is going to have to stand his ground he lets Hatton come foward and Hatton will steam roller him

I am still trying to accept that that clown is a champion.......hatton will hold, but whoop that ass in the process!!!!!

[MANGLER]

Hatton has traded his high workrate for a lotta clinchin the past few years. I think Paulie will be able to outbox him.

I'm afraid I have to agree..

This will be a Mayweather jr.-Hatton re-enactment..except for the KO...

Malignaggi will be too slick and too fast for Hatton..and he can obviously go the distance with a decent work rate..

I'm not too hyped for this fight..for I can see Hatton wanting to walk out with a boyfriend the whole night huggin Paulie ever so tightly..

How dare you compare Paulie to Mayweather. Floyd is better blindfolded. Hatton will easily dispatch of PM. No power coming back is Mallignagi's downfall. He may beat Hatton in overall speed, but will not be able to keep the Hitman off of him with no pop. Watch and witness. It will be a Cotto-Mallignaggi reenactment.

That is a great line. Well done, Paulie.
