Malignaggi: "Ricky Hatton Doesn't Have The Talent"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS – World-class junior welterweight Paulie “The Magic Man” Malignaggi (25-1, 5 KOs) took some time off from his Las Vegas TRAINING CAMP to offer his views on subject ranging from his November 22nd showdown against Ricky Hatton to abdicating his IBF title and a lot in between. [details]

Hes right with what he said and if Hatton hears this, thats going to make Ricky even more uneasy.

Nobody gives a **** about Mai***get...
He's ****ing horrible and doesnt knock anybody out, i really hope hatton catches his punk ass and puts him to sleep.....

and paulie doesnt have the power

[EL ANIMAL]

I Am Surprised This Bum Didnt Disappear After Cotto Trashed Him,, Hey Ricky, Teach This Lil Bum A Lesson.. I Am Really Sic Of Boxers Like This Guy Talking Like They Accomplished So Much In Their Career!,,imagined If This Freak Wins , He Will Never Stop Talking Bout This!! He Is Just Like Vivvian Harris, Accomplished Nothing All Talk..

Hatton will win. Paulie isn't even good at talking ****. Just a sad wanna-be build up to a fight that most already know the outcome of. He has no power in his weak hands and will not be able to counter Hatton's relentless assault. GG Paulie.

when i first saw paulie on espn..i said this is a ali wanna be without the skills

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I think Ricky will have enough to win the fight but people need to stop badmouthing Paulie just cos he cant punch. ****ing hell, when did boxing become just about power punching?


Paulie has very good skills when he's on top form and gave Cotto a great fight. He has the potential to make Ricky look very bad, if not outbox and beat him. I can certainly envisage it. Its not an easy fight to pick.

if i wasn't born and raised in brooklyn, i would hate paulie malignaggi. being that he went to the same high school as a lot of my friends, (and they all say he's a good dude when it comes to representing Bensonhurst and giving back to the place he grew up) i know he's actually someone worth rooting for. again, if i was from manchester, i'd root for a guy who seems decent in hatton, and i'd say **** paulie malignaggi. but i'm from brooklyn, so good luck ricky, but i hope paulie edges you out this time.

Hatton's only advantage over Paulie is strength. But that will be neutralized by the jab and footwork. Hatton's face will be ground beef by the time the fight is over. If Paulie can go 12 rounds with Cotto with a broken eye and jaw, what is Hatton going to do. Paulie by a wide-UD or late stoppage due to cuts from clean punches.
