[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. continues to tell everyone that "we are going to see the best Ricky Hatton" on Saturday night in Las Vegas, when the Manchester fighter takes on Paulie Malignaggi. [details]

hatton's pressure is what should give maliginaggi trouble in this fight. he definitely can't outbox malignaggi; who is overrated by the way. hatton should destroy him..

[Kris Silver]

I'm very intrigued to see if Hatton can really be more patient actually, in fight. I can see him losing his rag and going into his old ways a bit, and Floyd having to shout at him. But hopefully Hatton won't be un natural, and literally is just a bit tighter on defence.

If hatton is allowed to clinch, he'll win. If he isn't allowed to clinch, then Paul wins this fight kids. New Hatton my ass, the guy has midget arms. How else is he suppose to fight if the guy infront of him has longer reach and also can get away from him

if hatton has improved his slickness and is going to go to work once on the inside, he very well could make it a rough night for malignaggi.

i would like to see hatton win this fight, but i think that malignaggi can win this fight in the upset. it would be a easier fight for malignaggi to stay on the outside, use his jab, and use the whole ring. if hatton can't stop that, he will lose on the cards, unless he gets some knockdowns here and there, but i don't see that happening. if cotto couldn't put malignaggi away, i don't think that there is any real chance that hatton can do it......



i want hatton to win, but i'm picking malignaggi to upset by ud....... hopefully im wrong, minus losing some cash........

[MANGLER]

I don't think Hatton has the stamina he'll need to attack full tilt 3 minutes of every rd. That's his key to winnin and I just don't see him havin that kinda endurance anymore.

If what you say here is true then no shorter fighter would ever have beaten a skilled taller fighter in the history of the sport.

What is the point in being patient against Malignaggi?

If he charges in like an angry school child like he usually does he beats Malignaggi up, he's just too strong for him IMO.

Ngoudjo lost the fight to Malignaggi because after great success he inexcusably became too patient and too intricate and Paulie nicked rounds with his jab (which is good btw).

good god man! how long have you been watching boxing?

ill belive it when i see it, i though ricky was just fine with what he had been doing, maybe not the most exciting defense but the hit and hold tactic has been working for a while now, his only loss is to floyd but if he uses a few more tools to give himself a few more options then more power to him
