Comments Thread For: Mlaignaggi Explains Why He Feels Khan is A lot Better Than Hatton

[boxinghead530]

Not surprising Malignaggi had a real dislike for Hatton, after running his mouth about Hatton being unskilled he got completely outboxed by him.

Yea that's for sure. Malignaggi ran that mouth of his big time leading up to his fight with Hatton and then got utterly dismantled and beaten down. All his talk and never able to come through is what his problems are.

All this hate that Malignaggi has for Hatton and other boxers is out of jealously and hate for his short comings.

Well I guess since he fought them both he's in a better position to judge but I would say Khan's tendency to make dumb mistakes in a fight make him less of a fighter than Hatton.

[LA fight fan]

they both suck

and paulie is a tune up fighter. a spare. nothing more.

What's Paulie up to? He's riding on Khan like he didn't see him laying there half dead. Almost like he wants to yell out, I want Canelo! and thinking 13 million in his greedy little..... bless his heart.

[jwalkr]

Both have zero ring intelligence. Canelo hammered Khan to the left side of his body so he'd drop the left. Khan & his overrated trainer had no clue of how to change what was happening. Mayweather and Paquiao both would have realized what was happening and put a stop to it.

Paulie should be a trainer. I think he does a good job dissecting fighter's skills and I think he reads a fight well.

[aAgger]

I'd say both are pretty even. It's a shame Khan and Hatton are better remembered for their few losses rather than their many victories.

I wonder whether he counts himself amongst those 'constant monsters'?

I'd also question that the timing of when they fought stateside against top opposition put Hatton at an advantage. Ricky's career stagnated for a while under Frank Warren when he could and should have been fighting tougher opposition.
