    I think people are confused as to what constitutes boxing. Just because Hatton boxes more doesn't mean rolling the shoulder and doing the Ali shuffle. That's not what boxing is. He's going to be using his footspeed, he's going to be giving angles, he's going to be moving his head and throwing combinations. That's what his boxing is all about.

      I don't think it's a bad decision.. Malignaggi is number one contender at j. welter right now according to The Ring Magazine.

      If he wins he can fight Bradley after.

        Will it be an easy win for Hatton or is he underestimating Malignaggi?

        Will Hattons new approach of being a boxer more than a brawler as he's used to be a benefit or his downfall?

        Your take on it......
        not sure how this will go down, but I suspect paulie will be competitive

          Waste of time fighting Bradley. If he beats Bradley he has to fight Witter, if he beats Witter he has to fight Kotelnik, Ngoudjo etc...

          Best bet is to aim for a fight with a highly regarded p4p fighter like Manny.

            I don't think it's a waste of time.. then again, I don't care too much for P4P ratings.
            If De La Hoya beats the number one P4P Manny... that won't make him the best out there right now.

              True, but there's Juan Manuel Marquez who is around that weight, or there's a move up for Hatton to have a crack at De La Hoya as well. Bradley is really not on that elite stage at the moment. He needs to make a few waves to get up there and in the meantime Hatton has other fights he can take.

                Should we see the winner of DLH - Pacman fight Hatton if he does well?

                  Hatton's a perfectly good technical boxer. Well, at least, he was.

                  I really can't see how Paulie beats him, unless Hatton is on is way out ... which he may be.
