Hatton: "I Will Outbox Malignaggi, Knock Him Out"

[Chase8400]

Hatton is delusional...He won't outbox malignaggi eventhough he is a feather fist fighter he is a excellent boxer...He definitely won't ko him because cotto couldn't even do it when he had his jaw broken....Dude has a lot of heart...I wouldn't be surprise if it was an upset..

That was ignorant. That's like saying that Hasim Rahman could not knock out Lennox Lewis because David Tua did'nt. You show you acual boxing knowledge there.

Hatton WILL probably KO Mallignaggi based on the way he fought in his last 3. Paulie looked like Doo Doo in those fights.

This will be a typical Hatton performance, Paulie will get dragged into a brawl and lose a decision, but he won't get KOd.

[NeXt In Line]

God I hope Ricky ****s this chump up. I seriously hope he comes out and gives a spectacular performance.

THERE'S ONLY OOONNNNEEEEEEEEE RICKY HATTON!

Hatton Should Win

I think what hatton means is he is going to out think him make him miss and make him pay while applying intelligent pressure and the ko is a possibility cotto has never had one punch power but wears his opponents down with an accumulation of shots he was never able to connect often enough on malignaggi to do that, he is not as swift on his feet as hatton is, hatton will be able to close the distance faster he more than held his own with mayweather the self proclaimed pound for pound best until he ran into that punch, that fight was in no way a blowout in mayweather's favor.

Hatton is more of a versatile fighter than people give him credit for considering who he had training him from the start says a lot, with the addition of floyd sr his true fighting potential should be tapped into, I think he only gets better form here on out if he is willing to listen and learn if he doesn't ko paulie he should put a convincing beating on him.

You didn't get my point...I'm just saying malignaggi has alot of heart and skill and I just don't see HAtton koing him and that's that...Even a weight drain Cotto couldn't and I know Cotto has more power than hatton...Plus of course you would think that this is coming from a obsessed hatton fan..Hatton last couple of fights haven't been that good their self....I didn't say hatton would lose I'm just saying I don't see him koing him unless he get a bull**** stoppage like Calzaghe did over Manfredo...Honestly I could care less about this fight just as much as i do Oscar de la hoya-Pacquaio who hatton wants the winner...I'd probably end up watching both anyway lol

I never felt that Paulie was that great of a boxer atleast defensive, he does have fast hands, decent timing and decent feet. Paulie gets drawn into a fight much to easily and Hatton's rough and tumble style is all wrong for Paulie. I have liked Hatton in this matchup since it was announced, although the turmoil in Hatton's camp (a new trainer), the massive weight loss (it will catch up with him at some point), and I do not know how seriously he is taking this challenge; have me thinking twice about this fight even though in fighting ability and style I favor Hatton.

when is this fight again?

[Pugilistic™]

Hatton won't outbox paulie.

He beats paulie with his inside body work.

when is this fight again?

22nd November.

Ricky Hatton plans to show a whole new side of himself when he takes on Paulie Malignaggi on November 22 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. With trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. in his corner, Hatton plans to showcase his boxing skills against Malignaggi, regarded by experts as a very good boxer. Hatton was angered by Malignaggi's recent comments, which called him a flawed fighter who never faced a high level of world-class competition. [details]

I hope Hatton sticks to being Hatton. His style has worked in every fight except the Mayweather fight. It's also the perfect style imo to walk right through Malignaggi and shut him down.
