Hatton did what Cotto couldn't do!

i understand your hatton fan and your excited right now, but lets be realistic. paulie won rounds against cotto because he was fighting, he was not throwing combos or fighting back against hatton. plus cotto not 140 fighter; paulie even said it himself at the end of fight, cotto hurt me more and knocked him down which hatton could not do

If you watched the fight, Hatton compiled mass pressure (you know pressure is more than constant punching), and when Paulie DID try to hit Hatton, Hatton was either inside Paulie or moving his head or blocking/parrying. Also if PAulie didn't grab on every 5 seconds, then he would of been floored to.

you're right that hatton boxed paulie better than cotto did but cotto beat the **** out of paulie. hatton roughed him up a little but that stoppage was garbage. buddy mcgirt played paulie bad there. i'll still pay your points cause a tko is a tko, no matter how ridiculous the corner is who initiated it, but don't try and act like hatton put a worse beating on paulie than cotto did.

No ofc he didnt beat him up more but what Hattons aim was to show the boxing world that he could outbox the boxer when hes the brawler. I think thats pretty remarkable in itself since almost nobody gave Hatton a second chance at "boxing ability". And I agree the stoppage was a joke but still a TKO is a TKO offically.

I won't give Credit for Ricky getting a stoppage in this fight, I will give him credit forn utterly dominating Malinaggi and not giving him a sniff.

his corner stop the fight.malignaggi was right cotto messed him worse than hatton did.

True but its only because his corner stopped getting a real beat down. He never looked in the same class as Hatton.

From what I remember, Paulie fought back with Cotto and it was a real close fight. Hatton fight Paulie was just surviving or had trouble tagging Hatton... In the Cotto fight, there was a chance Paulie might of won persuming he won the last two rounds as he really put up a good performance against him. (tho Cotto was trying to brawl him rather than outbox?) Like I said before Paulie was afraid of Hattons power, almost fell to the canvas twice but grabbed on, but Hatton boxed so beautiful that Paulie couldn't hit him.

most coaches if the fighter doesn't throw punches will throw in the towel as they are concerned for your safety. (I get warned all the time in my fights/spars). So they gotta be active.
