Anyone else think Hatton stops Malinaggi?

[sparked_85]

No doubt that's a part of it

Also, I think his lifestyle has caught up with him. His stamina isn't as good, and he seems to have stopped using the boxing ability he does posses, for some reason. He changed his style for the Tszyu fight, and kept it that way. For Tszyu, it was the perfect strategy, but he should have gone back to how he fought before that, after imo.



I agree, Paulie is pretty quick but all he really has is a jab. He isn't as elusive as some think he is (Including himself), he is tough but his chin isn't as good as people say. I hate the "Cotto couldn't stop him so ...... can't" argument as well. Ndouju (SP?) nearly TKOd him and he isn't as hard puncher as Cotto,

Miguel was drained for that fight, and wasn't anywhere near his best imo.

I appreciate his heart, and his ability to cope with these guys at the very top of ten stone boxing whilst literally being a complete non-puncher. It's impressive. I'll probably root for him against Hatton, but he'll get smashed up pretty bad, I can't see it going any other way. Ndou hit him so much in Manchester the commentators tried saying well Ndou has slow feet but quick hands, but he doesn't, he has slow hands as well. Malignaggi is at the peak of his powers.

Me too,

He used to be great to watch, now not so much. He just isn't as good anymore, his stamina dropped off his style is more 1D than it used to be etc,

I think Hatton is a little past his best, but maybe Mayweather will bring him back to what he lost. I hope so..

i cannot remember wat the fighter name was...but he fought this african guy his name began with a "g"

hatton was outstanding in that fight!!!

his speed and accuracy was the best i have ever seen it!

i remember a hatton combination... he started with a left jab,then he ducked a looping left hook,slid inwards and crashed a left hook to this guys ribs,then he hit him with a right hook,put his head down into this guys chest...the african guy also put his head down(big mistake)then hatton exploded with a right uppercut that must of knocked the guy back 6 feet!!

i will always remember that combo...beautiful!!!

Only guy I can think of is Ben Tackie,

He was outstanding against Tackie. Knowing he was a tough, hard puncher Hatton boxed well all night. If he fought more like that now he would be a lot better imo.

Hatton has a bit more power than Malignaggi, but certainly not knockout power. The biggest thing though, his punches are WIDE AND INACCURATE. Malignaggi knows how to fight with one hand, and I think at this point he would use his right regardless of it being broken, he knows his career's days are numbered, he's had over 10 operations and 4 breaks on his hand.

Malignaggi by decision, expect Malignaggi to perform similar to the Lovemore N'dou fight. He shines in the spotlight.

sorry...i had a brain fart!!!

it was tackie. i used to think tackie was gatti when i was less knowlagble!!

i know i sound like a complete tard...but it makes sense to me lmao...


i guess tackie and gatti kind of rhyme if you hear there names quickly???

i guess that is why i though his name began with "g"

ill shut up now cos i sound like a idiot...lol

I honestly think Paulie will try to go through the whole bout without using his right hand as much, but will find it impossible against Ricky's style. He will eventually fracture or break his right hand and run around the ring or clinch consistently while Hatton stalks him around the ring and accumulates points. I don't think Hatton will stop Malignaggi, it will be a UD in Hattons favor.

[mECHsLAVE]

I don't think Hatton's stopping anyone ever again. LOL He's looked terrible in his last couple bouts. He's just not the same fighter he was 5 years ago and I think all the Hatton fans are going to have to accept that. Really, beyond Castillo, he hasn't looked good since Kostya. Paulie could definitely win this one.

[The Gully Gad]

I honestly believe Hatton can lose anytime at this point now..
His there for the taking a little if the other guy can work at it..

If Paulie could **** i would raise that dudes chances of beating Hatton
Has it stands i cant see him hurting Hatton enough to stop or slow Hatton's
workrate.And i think even if Paulie is getting a whoopin in there i still think
He would tough it out and last the course....

if paulie can get pummeled by cotto and not go down, i doubt hatton can do it. but hatton should win.

This is more likely to be a lot of cuddling than a Paulie Knockout. The only chance Paulie has of getting stopped is Paulie breaking his hand in like the first round. In which case he may still be able to not get stopped.
