Are me and The Italian the only ones that think paulie can win??

[-Antonio-]

People are missing something. Paulie's not that slick. He can only move one way, and he doesnt have enough head movement to keep his hands down like that. He just has a good jab when he throws it, and when he gets going he can fire off some quick combinations. Hatton wont have a hard time finding Paulie at all.

hmmzzz

what about avatar vs avatar for a month? i got to get you!!!!!!!

how about if Hatton wins you give me 15k and if Paulie wins you choose my avatar for a month?

are you sure you even have enough points? do you have other bets going on?

I think Hatton struggle swith who have potent hooks or are southpaws.

Hatton hasn't really fought a guy comparable to Malignaggi, a speedster with a nice jab. I can't see it working in succeeding against Hatton who will eat those jabs from a guy like Paulie and **** him up. If Paulie wins in any fashion he is 10 times better than I think he is.

No!!! I'm form PR, and I think Paulie will win. He prove he his tough enough, lasting 12 punishing rounds against Cotto, who is a better boxer and is a lot stronger than Hatton. And Paulie won like 4 rounds against Cotto. I dont see Hatton KOing Paulie nor winning more rounds. Ill say a 114-111 UD for Paulie.

Forbes is training with the Mayweathers from a long time, all of them, sr,uncle, and even Jeff. hes always been a slickster with little power and great chin.

I know Forbes has always trained with Jeff. But I recall hearing excitment on his part on regards to having May Sr in his corner.
You might be right, but if I'm not mistaken, it was the first time Sr focused on him.

What difference does it make whether cotto could or not? they are different fighters altogether.

What difference does it make?!
Common, don't throw that 'style's-makes-fights' easy way out argument without estimating a little.
Malignaggi had the chin to take Cotto's BOMBS, and fought 12 hard rounds with that broken cheek bone.
Point is to say that because of who Paulie is, this fight is going the distance.
Not necessarily meaning he's assured a victory, but because he CAN take hard hits for 12 round, and doesn't ko his opponents, there's a REALLY GOOD CHANCE it's going to the score cards.

If Paulie became champ by winning all his fights by decision, then there's good reason to believe he can do it again Saturday.

That could be, my point was just that he never had to change that much from one mayweather to the other...From Billy Grahm to Mayweather Sr. the difference is huge tho

The "cotto couldnt do it so how could hatton" line is very weak.
Cotto was a weight drained fighter, and really only a shadow of what he turned out to be at welterweight. The weight made a huge difference, Cotto now would whipe the floors with malignaggi and knock him out with in six no problem. Cotto just simply was not the same fighter then that he is now. As a matter of fact, the cotto that fought paulie malignaggi that night, would have got knocked out by a prime hatton.

Hatton is going to come in fresh, he is going to be strong, and bully Malignaggi the entire fight. Hatton is going to be the general in the ring on saturday, i got up to 50k that says he wins... ill even give 2 to 1 odds... im really looking for my 50k to your 25k, PM ME.

yup agreed.

im not certain but i think there is a very good chance paulie will beat hatton.. it seems like alot of people on this board arent giving paulie too much of a chance..

i think the fight with mayweather may have ruined hatton, and he struggles against slick boxers.. paulie can be slick and has fast hands, if he can dictate the tempo he can win this fights by decision

i agree with you 110%...

thanks for putting my name in the thread title by the way...thats a first i believe.

you're from the bay area? what part?



and to continue this discussion...

i really honestly believe paulie can win...im SO ****ing excited about this fight...it's only 3 days away...but it feels like a VERY LONG 3 days...

I been waiting to see this fight for a long time and i think its going to be a very good fight.

i say the fight comes down to whoever can control the fight.

if paulie controls the fight there is NO WAY hatton outboxes him.

if HATTON controls the fight there is NO WAY paulie out slugs him...

thats how its going to be...

I say paulie wins a close SD that he pulls out in the championship rounds.

[The Gully Gad]

Paulie is a lot slicker then Hatton..
This fight would have a different ending if Paulie could **** .
How it stands loaded gloves wouldnt even help..
