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

[mspiegelo]

lazcano, and it won't matter once paulie beats him. if cotto couldn't stop malignaggi, hatton hasn't got a prayer. Also i'm incredibly biased when it comes to malignago so just ignore this post if you're a hatton fan.

exactly.i got a better one. name one over-the-hill fighter hatton beat. Jose Luis Castillo. Oh how about two? Kosta Tszyu. Oh ok, only his two most credible wins. How bout this: Name current Junior Welterweights that could be a nightmare for Hatton that he didn't face when they were at JWW, or fighters still at JWW that he hasn't faced and probably won't since he is chasing the money bouts with mayweather and de la hoya (both unwinnable) and little pacquiao instead:

victor ortiz, Tim Bradley, ricardo torres, cotto, kendall holt, stevie forbes, zab judah, ngoudjo, D-Hop

Lazcano practically landed only two punches that were decent, one that fazed him and another that fazed him, people use the ref as an excuse but truthlully hatton would of hugged his way. Still a 120-108 decision from two refs is hardly struggling. Cotto like said before was starving and in bad health when fighting paulie, cotto is a paitent puncher while Hatton goes balls deep to knock his opponents out.

@mspiego
Its easy to name opponents he'd struggle with, but if hatton fought them, people would discredit them in the wrong way. Tszyu came off a sieries of shocking wins when Hatton beat him, I admit Castillo was well past it. Once again, if you go to collazos gym, you're gonna be closer to him than anyone in another gym, so its easy to be biased.

Paulie will beat Hatton on points - maybe even stop him late on.

i dont know what transulate means, but regardless, if you want to pick and choose the stats you want create an inaccurate, misrepresentation of the fight, go ahead.

fights are scored on a round by round basis, not on a snapshot of just the "powershots." i can't believe you are insisting that hatton won 11 rounds. and you call me biased.... i guess you can't read, but i didn't know who luis was when i tuned into that fight, and I tuned in specifically to watch Ricky do his thing, which apparently is getting battered around just shy of a tko stoppage- tired or not, there was no excuse if he was truly an elite lb-4-lber... he also did that pretty well against lazcano with his shotty defense, but was at least crafty enough to buy time with the old shoelace trick...

and who are you to say collazo sucks? he's a former world champion. i never said ricky sucks. saying any past or present champion in professional boxing sucks is, well as you put it "ignorant." the worst thing about ricky hatton is his biased fans. not to say they are all this way, but there are certainly MANY, including yourself chief. these are the same people who ooed and ahhed at every missed and blocked punch he threw against mayweather. and it wouldnt matter if they fought in manchester with ricky's mom as the referee, mayweather would beat ricky hatton 1000/1000 times dude....

Man, did i hit a nerve? You don't know what translate means? What country are you really from?

My points:
Fact: Ricky beat Collazo.
Fact: You said Collazo was a former world title holder (one defense that he lost) but will give up little respect to Hatton.
Fact: Hatton is a 4 world belt title holder in 2 weight classes and beat the ring champ by TKO.

Your points:
Opinion: Collazo beat Hatton.
Opinion: Mayweather would beat Hatton under any circumstances.
Opinion: Punchstats and knockdowns are a missrepresentation of a fight that ends in a decision.

You are now dismissed. I want an apple next time you want a lesson.

Hahaha, another BS opinion. Nobody said Tszyu was over the hill before the fight and nobody picked Hatton to whip him either. After the fight, he is shot and old. Critics are exactly what they are , just critics. They are not fighters or promoters and just exist to put doubt in peoples minds. People could also say that Morales would have beat Pacman easily earlier in his career. Do you agree with that? No? Okay then, shut the **** up already.

Hatton K.o. Early Rounds

Paulie holds a lot too

[Dirk Diggler UK]

tszyu was inactive (4 fights in over 4 years) and old. castillo was shot and his spot on lb-for-lb lists was as ludicrous as hatton's who can't even move up one division without serious, serious trouble. ngoudjo was robbed against castillo anyway.

"It seems unfair to take a little credit away (from Hatton) but here it goes. Castillo did look like a shot fighter tonight, like he was showing up just kind of to see what this young guy had and when he saw what he had, he thought `It's too much for me.` and packed it in on a body shot". - Max Kellerman

Tyszu was the undisputed King at 140lbs and had just come back to brutally KO Sharmba Mitchell. People tend to be experts after the event and fail to realise how huge of an underdog Hatton was in this fight. Even if Tszyu was in a wheelchair, most expected him to KO Hatton with the first right hand.

And he would've KOed Hatton had it not been for the way Ricky fought. Tszyu was obvioulsy older and inactive but if Hatton had given him time and room to work, he would've been ****ed. Styles make fights and Hatton's style was perfect for dealing with Tszyu.

Ngoudjo was not robbed. Nor was Collazo against Hatton. A robbery is Lennox not getting the win vs Holyfield. Not a close fight which could've gone either way. Castillo was coming off his most impressive win, KOing Corrales which warranted his P4P status. Ngoudjo is no mug, he's one of the best at 140 and Castillo went 12 hard rounds with him and probably just did enough to win.

And again, we're all experts after the event. Everyone expected a competitive action fight. Hatton went out and destroyed him in 4 rounds when the guy had never tasted canvas before. The body shot he landed cracked Castillo's ribs, no one would've got up from it.

None of this changes my point however, that Cotto seems to get unending praise for being 2 past their prime fighters in relatively close fights whereas Hatton destroys 2 and gets criticised.

[black.ink]

There are only two outcomes to this fight.

1. A Malignaggi decision.

2. A Hatton KO/TKO.

Hatton is not going to outbox Malignaggi. If none of them outcomes happen, i will eat my own words and not post on the 'scene for a few months as i clearly don't know boxing.
