When you say Hatton looked Suspect what do you mean? If you mean he looked fat then I actually thought he looked less fat that usual.

If Paulie has any power I might agree with you but his featherfists will not be enough to keep Hatton from being Hatton.

i like paulie. i like ricky, too, but i'm rooting for paulie. hatton's made some good money. if malignaggi beats hatton, he could make some good money off his next few fights and then pack it in (which it sounds like he wants to do).

i don't see hatton steam rolling malignaggi like some people do, but i don't see malignaggi "boxing circles" around hatton. i think it's a pick 'em fight at this point.

Yeah, Paulie looked great in his last two fights. Amazing he was.

Hatton has looked amazing as well in his last two fights...

You've obviously never seen Malignaggi fight then because he has never outclassed anyone. I have no idea where the myth that Malignaggi is a slick boxer originated from but it certainly wasn't his fights because he's about as slick as sandpaper.

they've both looked horrid.hatton's weight gain gives malignaggi an advantage imo.sooner or later that **** will catch up to em.

Paulie has shown that with his jab has enough sting to get respect from most of his opponents. He has also shown that the combination of his hand speed and footwork can give just about anyone a tough time.
I pretty much expect Ricky Hatton to win a competitive decision, 7-5 or so, against Paulie. But when I factor in Hatton swilling the beer and eating the fried red meats while Paulie is focused and training his ass off, I can see Paulie surprising us.
Either way its going to be a competitive and fun to watch.
