Second thoughts about Hatton-Malignaggi

Im the other way around.
At first i thought Paulie would skool him..

After seeing him training and the way he looks add that to the fact paulie
only has 5 ko's on his record which is his only chance of stopping Hattons pressure
to be able to dig the fat fcuk back hard.I know Paulie is gonna get a beatdown...

even bunce admitted this will be far from easy fight from hatton

This would be a great victory for Hatton if he can pull this off, Hatton hasnt really been in there with young guys who can move around a lot apart from Mayweather.

At first I thought Hatton would win this one easily.Better still he hired a new trainer Floyd Sr.After seeing Hatton training I thought it would be easy.Hatton has that mean look on his face and he wants to deliver.

Now I'm having second thoughts.
1 Hatton was knocked out by Floyd Jr.Before that Hatton didnt look impressive.He didnt fight impressively against Collazo,he didnt fight too well against Juan Urango.Floyd Jr was always going to be tough and for sure he proved himself.Then came Lazcano and Hatton was something else.

Floyd is a great trainer but then Hatton used to take so much punishment to give his own medicine.What if Hatton is punch drunk and washed up.

What about the new tactics.How can you outbox a boxer when you have been a slugger all your life.

I'm not so sure Hatton will win anymore.WHat are your thoughts?We do not really know Hatton's level,we dont know how good he is do we.The win against Collazo was dodgey and then against Mayweather he was knocked out.Mayweather hadnt knocked out anyone for a while.

He didnt fight impressively against Collazo

You have to remember he was moving up in weight at last minute's notice to fight a natural Light-Middleweight, who was also a southpaw and he still won.

he didn't fight too well against Juan Urango

He won every round minus one.

when you have been a slugger all your life.

Not true. He actually had decent boxing skills early in his career, but became too dependent on the straight-forward brawler style, but hey, who can blame him? it worked right up until he lost to the best fighter on the planet.

I have always thought Hatton would beat Malignaggi and even if Hatton appears to be on the slide, I still feel he can beat Paulie.

Luis collazo is a natural welterweight. Just because he's fought at 154 doesn't mean he's natural there. And his speed was really the key in that fight, I thought Collazo pulled it out but it was close.

There was a distinct move away from the boxing after he beat Kostya Tszyu and started a one-size-fits-all approach. There were flashes of his former self against Urango and Mayweather but he did turn his back on boxing a touch.

Have a third thought and think hatton to win on points outboxing in parts and outbrawling in others winning 9 rounds to malignaggi's 3.
