Paulie's chin did'nt look great against Hatton in my opinion. Yes, he syayed on his feet but only because he was hanging onto Hatton for dear life. I think he was really suprised by Hattons power & there's no doubt Ricky hurt him in the 2nd round. After that shot it was Hatton's fight!
After watching the fight a 2nd time I honestly believe Paulie thought he was going to get KO'd by Hatton in the early rounds which is why he was just jabbing and holding for pretty much the rest of the fight.
I've said on a previous post that I thought Paulie must have damaged his right hand before the fight as he hardly ever threw it. After watching it again I think he was too worried of leaving himself open to another Hatton power shot.

Guys,
You do not have the longevity and success that Hatton has had without being able to take a shot. Lets be serious for a minute this is Hatton we are talking about a guy who gets hit often due to his style therefore he has to have a good chin.
Mayweather is potentially the greatest fighter of the last decade and he landed shot after shot and eventually following a peach of punch Hatton dropped. He has a good chin, he's just easy to hit.

However he was still tagged often, we are talking about a 35 year old man not a guy in his 50's, he could still punch and therefore if Hatton did have a weak chin he wouldn't have lasted 11 gruelling rounds with a devastating puncher like Tszyu.

Originally posted by lparm View Post...paulie proved he has a better chin than Hatton. I like ricky he seems like one of the most genuine guys in boxing and even though his style can be unwatchable he's always trying to beat the other guy up. But at least once last night Paulie caught him and wobbled Hatton, yet Paulie took everything thrown at him without going down. If Hatton has some serious weaknesses it's his defense and chin. Maybe his defense will get better but you can't repair a shaky chin.
Hatton took real bombs from Kostya Tszyu and walked through them. That's a good chin.
