I agree 100%.. Hatton has fought older past their prime fighters. The only young dude that was a pretty good fighter he faced was Collazo and Collazo won in my eyes and alot of peoples eyes. He won't fight Malignaggi. I bet he'll fight Glass Jaw Vivian Harris

[Lance_Uppercut]

Paulie's doing a typical move and some of you are falling for it like this is the first time it's happened.

Paulie's on the outside looking in. Hence the calling out bigger names or talking shit about a guy who about EVERYONE gave high marks for in his win.

Paulie can talk his trash, as long as he backs it or doesn't let money stop him.

[TamaTonga]

becareful what u wish for paulie

[bigtime9]

paulie is keeping it real he knows what hatton is and would beat him, rather easily I might add.

You predict KO after KO for Floyd...."Floyd will KO Baldomir in 6!" "KO Judah in 6" "KO De la hoya in 9!" :patsch

The point is that last week in his post fight interview on HBO Paulie said exactly what was gonna happen and said Castillo was washed up. And it was true. And Paulie isnt lookin in from the outside, he owns one of the titles that Hatton used to have and if i remember correctly hatton said he was coming for his titles so let him fight Paulie.

[Zakman]

I give Malignaggi a damn good shot of beating Hatton. I wouldn't say its a pick 'em, but Paulie is a VERY live underdog in this fight. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he were to beat Hatton if they fought.

By "on the outside looking in" it means no one really needs to fight Paulie. Aside from that title, he doesn't really have any big wins over even FADED fighters. He may still be seen as more of a prospect by some, then a top guy in a division. I would give him a couple more fights before he tries the champ.

That title is meaningless as long as Hatton is at 140. Might as well be a Sears Belt. But if Hatton wants it, more power to him.

[Lance_Uppercut]

Wow,you're soooooo SMART.

And you're SOOOOOOO NOT. And?:patsch

[Stinky gloves]

Paulie will have his chance soon.

A prospect?? Give me a break!! Who else is there in the 140lb division?? Come on now.

[markbrooklyn]

Oh and by the way i dont know how you can claim Paulie is a "prospect" when he just beat N'dou who alot of people were DUCKIN including Hatton!!!

[Lance_Uppercut]

A prospect?? Give me a break!! Who else is there in the 140lb division?? Come on now.

Not much. Still, even Vivian Harris has done more then Paulie. Or Junior Witter. Or Paulie vs. Demtrious Hopkins would be good.

Point is, DESPITE how little marquee matchups are at 140, it doesn't change the fact that Paulie is closer to Kermit Cintron then he is Miguel Cotto. :deal

[Lance_Uppercut]

Exactly...to call Paul a fucking prospect is stupid. He went the full distance against cotto,and just dominated N'dou.

He got his ass BEAT by Cotto and beat Lovemore N' WHO? :huh

[Jose FM]

:heyI agree 100%.. Hatton has fought older past their prime fighters. The only young dude that was a pretty good fighter he faced was Collazo and Collazo won in my eyes and alot of peoples eyes. He won't fight Malignaggi. I bet he'll fight Glass Jaw Vivian Harris
Well listen i like Paulie, he a fellow ny'er that i cheer for, unfortunately, Collazo didnt beat Hatton, if the fight were 15 rounds then Collazo would have won, but fights are scored round by round and i had Hatton up a couple, sure he looked rocked in the 12th, but that was just one round outta 12, and it was the first Hatton fight at 147 against a solid welterweight champion. Malignaggi, as good as he may be will not beat Ricky Hatton!

[Lance_Uppercut]

Look up the definition of the word "prospect.":lol:

Here's what I wrote. "He may still be seen as more of a prospect by some, then a top guy in a division."

Now, where did I say he WAS A PROSPECT.

Look up reading comprehension please. :good

[JMonster]

he really is speaking the truth...i appreciate that. we need more of it

[smokey]

Malignaggi earned my respect in his loss to Cotto. The guy showed major heart. In decisively beating N'dou, he showed he's a legit 140 titlist. However, you need to take this for what it is: trash talk to try to build buzz for some big money fights. Sad but true, many fighters can hold titles and NEVER get serious payday fights, even from a big name with no title. Buzzing yourself and keeping your name out there is what gets you a chance to break into the big fights for real money.

Hatton just had a win, so you talk shit about him. It's just the way it's done. I'd pick Hatton to win, probably by decision. I wouldn't count Pauli out, though. He's a slick combination puncher with plenty of speed and accuracy. A fighter similar to that gave Hatton a pretty tough fight in recent history.

[CASH_718]

He got his ass BEAT by Cotto and beat Lovemore N' WHO? :huhPaulie is the only person since N'who to go the distance with Cotto and he won 5 rounds IMO that's better then anyone has done vs Cotto since N'dou who also won about 4 or 5 rounds vs Cotto. And no one including Sharmba Mitchell(in his prime) Miguel Cotto and Junior Witter dominated N'dou like Paulie did.........No one.

[Loggo]

I agree 100%.. Hatton has fought older past their prime fighters. The only young dude that was a pretty good fighter he faced was Collazo and Collazo won in my eyes and alot of peoples eyes. He won't fight Malignaggi. I bet he'll fight Glass Jaw Vivian HarrisSorry but the only young dude that was a pretty good fighter,was there much recognition for Luis Collazo before Ricky Hatton fought him?I reckon Hatton was the only one that made Collazo stand out as a good slick fighter.But i still think Hatton just won it.

[C Money]

I always respected Malignaggi, even picked him to beat Cotto:D But what I saw against Cotto tells me he's gonna have problems at the elite level. Why?? His right hand!! Its a damn shame this kid has the problems he does with it and though he compensates with one of the best jabs in the business, angles, and movement, it's not enough to keep the top guy's off of him. You cant move and jab your way to victory when your opponent is at the championship level and has a full arsenal. Malignaggi's lack of power in his right was a MAJOR FACTOR in being unable to keep Cotto away as Miguel walked through it. Hence, he took a huge beating, but did it with heart and determination that some fighters dont have. The main difference between Cotto and Hatton is the JAB. Cotto negoitiates the distance better as opposed to Hatton who likes to slip, block, step, and clinch his way inside.

No matter what?? This kid has balls, heart, and the will of a champion. I think he's under appreciating Hattons performances against Tszyu and Castilo and Hatton's skill level but the only way you find out how good you really are, is by fighting the top guy's. In that sense?? Malignaggi has an old school mentality. Styles make fights and while Malignaggi might win some rounds vs Hatton, I still believe that Hatton is strong enough and skilled enough to find his way inside and once there?? Its Hattons ballgame to be had.

As for the Collazo comment?? The fact that Collazo was a skilled, boxing SOUTHPAW was a big difference. Hattons body attack seems less effective against that stance. Malignaggi isnt a southpaw and once inside hatton would dominate. IMO, you cant sell Hatton short when the BIG STAGE is on. His team will no doubt gameplan and perhaps adjust Hatton to jab his way in. If that happens?? We'll be watching Malignaggi taking another spirited beating as 1 hand wont get it done. He wont KO or hurt Hatton with his right, thus his only chance is to win on points from the outside. Improving or more use of Hatton's jab will help him vs Floyd as well. DLH failed to use his enough and you see what you get that way.

Floyd?? Well who knows?? But obviously, PM takes a back seat to that matchup. Personally, I'd like to see PBF fight SSM first(he's not getting younger) then Hatton, with Hatton fighting Malignaggi in between, which would be a good fighter to adjust to the boxer style with. IMO, thats a good idea:good Floyd will move and pot shot all night as he did with DLH. Floyd's not interested or well served inside exchanging as Floyd is the consumate BOXER. The are differences and similarities between Malignaggi and Floyd. FLOYD's right isnt great either, as he's had surgeries and it breaks easy enough, yet floyd still packs a good bit more pop than PM's right. Both are speedy defensive boxers who utilize movement and angles.

If Malignaggi cant fight Hatton next, then Casamayor would certainly be a name but Casa aint prime anymore either so if he discredits Hatton beating JLC, beating Casa wouldnt be much different. Aside from that?? He should fight Torres or M'Baye and collect another belt at 40 thus ensuring his worth and creating the attention necessary for Hatton or anyone else at 40, or big name heading to 40.

Nuff respect due to the KID and with his character?? The public will contune to respect him, even if/when he loses again:good Safe to say that his fights are entertaining and he can beat most fighters not on the elite level.

[theunderdog]

paulie should hope and pray that he gets the same ref in his fight against lovemore. even my sister noticed that the ref took it upon himself not to let lovemore go anywhere near paulie

[maciek4]

Malignaghi has no chance against Hatton.

[Dantes]

Paulie's got heart, Hatton would crush him though. Casmayor would be too smart for Paulie too. Gotta hand it to him though, he's happy to fight the best.:good

[shelterr]

I can see Malignagi beating Hatton. He would be an underdog, but i would bet on him if the odds were right. His movement is very good and he doesn't seem to tire or slow down in his fights . I've always seen that as the downfall of fast slick fighters; they get tired, lose their speed, and start getting caught. This isn't his problem and he is fairly similar to Collazo, but faster and with a better jab (not a southpaw and not nearly as powerful though). As far as Casamayor goes, Paulie wins that fight on youth alone. Casamyor is good, but i dont think he can keep up the pace.

I Paulie can't get Hatton, then take out M'Baye (no sweat) and then Torres (powerful but not skilled enough i think). If Hatton still wont fight him, then go for Witter or Harris (whoever has the title by that point) and make Hatton come for the Undisputed Light Welterweight Title.

Sure, it's optimistic, but a guy can dream cant he?

[Metal Man]

Malignaggi would get dusted down by Hatton and stopped within ten rounds.He dos'nt possess the weapons to keep Hatton off,he's fast i give him that,but so is Hatton.Pauli just talks shit,that body punch Hatton landed is the type of shot he could never land in a million years,in fact i dont think the feather fisted one has ever knocked anyone out yet has the audacity to accuse Hatton of being boring.

[Jimbo]

"I thought Ricky Hatton did what he had to do against a guy who was past his prime." Says Malinaggi fresh from beating 35 year and 10 month old Lovemore N'Dou. :huh

[Napuis]

I hope Hatton cripples this cunt with body shots.

[Napuis]

Malignaggi isn't Kosta,or Castlillo he won't fight Ricky's fight - Paul is a master-boxer with great foot work and speed.

Paul will use angles and CATCH Ricky on the way in,then get out and give angles - over and over again,all night long.

No way in Hell will Ricky beat Paul - and I LIKE HATTON.


LOL it tells.

A 43-0-32 KO fighter who has put out Tzsyu and Castillo doesn't have a chance against the amazing Paul Malignaggi...whose claim to fame is losing to Cotto and beating a load of U.S. 'the contender' style bums.

[grayggr]

"I thought Ricky Hatton did what he had to do against a guy who was past his prime." Says Malinaggi fresh from beating 35 year and 10 month old Lovemore N'Dou. :huh

Nice :yep

As I've said over the last few days on here. I'm more than happy to see fighters and posters slag off Hatton. Everytime they have done it they have had their asses handed to them on a plate. Perhaps the only guy who went into a fight with Hatton recently giving him respect was Luis Collazo and he did a good job in there.

I hope the PBF fight gets made (I doubt it, dont think Hatton's management want it, but definitely think Hatton himself does) but if not then the Magic Man is going to have pull off his greatest escape ala Hoodini.

[Napuis]

And Hatton doesn't use angles?

And the master of 'angles', Calzaghe, cuts up boxers faces how often?

Malignaggi would be in a crumpled pile in the corner of the ring by five rounds.

[Smokin'Joe100]

Malignaggi has no class. Fuckin' hell, he couldn't even come up with a original nickname, he had to rob Tarver's.

[Strike]

Oh and by the way i dont know how you can claim Paulie is a "prospect" when he just beat N'dou who alot of people were DUCKIN including Hatton!!!

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Who the fuck has N'Dou beaten? He has lost to every top guy and is a gatekeeper, same level as a Tackie and that is being generous because Tackie is far more dangerous with his extra power.

Do you know why Hatton chose to fight instead of N'Dou? Tszyu. He took on the guy who had just demolished Mitchell and who everyone predicted would obliterate Hatton and in the background N'Dou was yapping about a shot.

Paulie is a good fighter and I think he would make it tough for Hatton, but please beating N'Dou is hardly a world class achievement.

[rustyj]

WHy dd this smell like the cotto fight all ova again.

[Taffyy]

Hatton would walk through anything Paulie has to offer then pressure him & overpower him imo................Interesting to see someone mentioned M'baye for Malignaggi........My friend Gavin Rees is fighting him for his title in a few weeks time..........I hope he can pull it off.....

[David UK]

If Paulie wants Hatton next he'll probably have to travel to the UK for it AND accept the shoter end of the purse

good thing too, it would have been boring.

we need hatton vs cotto!

[Caper]

good thing too, it would have been boring.

we need hatton vs cotto!

Pretty please with sugar on top :p

FYI

I met Paulie before he's a stand up dude though I don't think he has enough tools to keep Hatton off him. One thing is for sure he has balls and would give Hatton a good tatoo'ing with the jab though at the end Hatton's aggresive swarming would play into the affective aggressivness catagory and Hatton would win a UD.

Food for thought, Collazo probably knows something that only 40 something other people know and that's how Ricky fights. Though I think Collazo knows how to beat Hatton something that his good friend Paulie could pick up and utilize. Last time I saw Collazo he was a bit tipsy in the club and all he could talk about was why he didn't finish Hatton off, he thought he had the fight in the bag but hear learned otherwise.

[Guru_Too_You]

Paulie would dominate the current version of Hatton and I've been saying it since the Cotto bout.

Hatton does very little work on the outside, and once he gets inside he grabs and holds. Now this is effective against fighters that lack the conditioning and footwork to control the distance.

That is Paulie's game in a nutshell though. And for all of you that think Ricky walks through Paulie, you have another thing coming. Paulie took the best that Cotto had to offer for 12 rounds, so he can certainly take what Ricky has to offer. Ricky doesnt hit anywhere near as hard shot for shot as Cotto does, and Paulie survived that winning damn near half the fight. Many people gave Malignaggi 5 rounds against Cotto, myself included, and Cotto hits harder and has a style more suitable to beat Paulie than Ricky does.

I'll take Malignaggi 8-4 in a boxing clinic.

[Strike]

i thought hatton vacated the ibf belt so he dont have to fight n'dou???

That was the second time. N'Dou has been sending "open letters" to Hatton for a while. He began spouting the first time before Tszyu and then a couple more times since.
As if Hatton would duck a guy like N'Dou, Lovemore does not have a single big weapon, he is just tough and a decent fringe level world operator. Always going to lose when he steps up against top level fighters.

[Relentless]

yeh he is just like vitali klitschko.

[codeman99998]

If only Hatton would FIGHT Paulie we wouldn't have to argue about this.

I agree though, I think Malignaggi has the style to beat Hatton. People say that he can't hit hard enough to keep hatton off of him, but he doesn't have to. He moves his fight fast enough to keep hatton off of him, and the kid can sure take a punch. If he gets good odds I'd seriously consider putting a pretty decent bet on malignaggi, or at the very least on the fight going the distance.

that version of hatton would have beaten a prime castillo at 140. and the castillo who fought saturday would have dominated malignaggi. malignaggi greatest claim to faim is losing to cotto.

[Relentless]

and castillo's claim to fame was losing to floyd mayweather twice and to coralles

[Guru_Too_You]

So you sat on the fence and made sure that whatever the outcome you could claim to be right. Cool.

Yes, every prediction I make is based upon how I will look afterwards at ESB.

Get a grip Strike.

They both looked like shit in their last outings. Castillo had no legs, and thats what you need to beat Hatton and his mauling style. If Castillo had any legs left after his career, then he could have controlled the distance, but he was spent.

If he's not spent its an entirely different fight.

[Minotauro]

Malignaggi is also the guy who claims Floyd Mayweather is the greatest p4p fighter of all time above Ray Robinson.

[Guru_Too_You]

I already hate this guy. LOL you think you can beat Hatton? And that Mayweather won EASILY???
The little boy's gonna prove you you are all wrong.

At least he had the balls to fight N'Dou.

[Guru_Too_You]

the balls to fight N'Dou?? Ngoudjo would have beat N'Dou and you guy's don't have see much of N'goudjo. He is gonna beat Malignagni

He lasted 12 with Cotto. There is no way Ricky stops him.

malignaggi fights at a similar style to collazo, they are also sparring partners, hatton couldn't outclass collazo not because he was so big and so strong, its because of skills.

i dont ever remember (correct me if i'm wrong) hatton fighting someone with malignaggi's slick style except for collazo in which he had toruble.

[sandwichsurgeon]

Hatton is faster than Cotto and has a higher workrate and better chin (at that weight at least), look for Hatton to be able to keep up with Malignaggi all night, stay busier and win more rounds than Cotto did. Either that or he manages to set up another one of those beautiful body shots he throws after pushing Malignaggi onto the ropes with his superior strength and bullish tactics.

No I don't think he has. But Paulie has far less power than Collazo. Collazo is also bigger and a southpaw with whom Hatton has always struggled. Remember Collazo was doing ok against Mosely before he broke his hand around the 3rd/4th round.

Paulie is a very brave fighter but not in a million years can he beat Hatton.

[David UK]

Paulie's on the outside looking in. Hence the calling out bigger names or talking shit about a guy who about EVERYONE gave high marks for in his win.

Paulie can talk his trash, as long as he backs it or doesn't let money stop him.

Paulie's IBF champ, he shouldn't have to many problems getting decent fights

hatton would break mallignaggi in half,hatton is the NO.1 140 fighter in the world,mallignaggi won his belt of a decent fighter but thats it,if he thinks n'dou&hatton are anyway similiar hes in 4 a painful surprise,hatton would ko him in 8

Paulie would dominate the current version of Hatton and I've been saying it since the Cotto bout.

Hatton does very little work on the outside, and once he gets inside he grabs and holds. Now this is effective against fighters that lack the conditioning and footwork to control the distance.

That is Paulie's game in a nutshell though. And for all of you that think Ricky walks through Paulie, you have another thing coming. Paulie took the best that Cotto had to offer for 12 rounds, so he can certainly take what Ricky has to offer. Ricky doesnt hit anywhere near as hard shot for shot as Cotto does, and Paulie survived that winning damn near half the fight. Many people gave Malignaggi 5 rounds against Cotto, myself included, and Cotto hits harder and has a style more suitable to beat Paulie than Ricky does.

I'll take Malignaggi 8-4 in a boxing clinic.

I don't know. I see Hatton out-boxing Paulie. He'll probably hire some crackhead trainer to help him with his boxing skills then get knocked out by some faster smaller fighter in two rounds in his next fight but I think he'll school Paulie. Bookmark this thread.

why do you keep rehashing old thread? are you that bored?

[Gneus7]

Wish I knew what Paulie said.

[Big Left]

This thread is too funny.

Paulie was and still is a mid-level fighter - he will keep mouthing off until a top fighter comes and beats his ass again.

Mathew Hatton is more his level.

[Slacker]

Paulie can't hurt Ricky, and that's going to be why he loses.

Maybe Paulie should try to get Kahn instead.

I got hurt and I'm laid up unable to do much. I really am that bored, yes. I haven't been this bored since I watched an Ottke fight. Which is saying something, because damn. And I've been in an obnoxious mood since yesterday. First time I did a thread post they removed completely.
