I challenge you to come up with a new thread. You continue to make yourself look like an idiot, no one can question that Hatton is the man at light welter.
seems like the nuthuggers don't want to answer the question. melagi will make hatton look like the ordinary fighter that he looked like against collazo and floyd and any other slick fighter he will ever face.
let me see...Witter lose to Bradley...and Witter isn't SHOT and wasn't coming of a KO defeat and Bradley sure as hell isn't the BEST P4P fighter in the world......so that most mean that WITTER was just SHIT all along...:cheer:
It's a total paradox though: how can an idiot actually know that he's making himself look even more idiotic? :dunno:
In fairness, Witter might be shot or just old. Something was clearly wrong in the bradley fight. I will only be able to make judgement after his next fight.
One word Welter - and that was Rickys biggest problem in those fights. And he did beat Collazo a sign of a real champion - bad night so what he still wins - unlike the other bum paper champs out there.
Actually he lost to collazo on most scorecards. what a coinsidence that they are the only two slick fighters he has fought and they embarrassed him totally. hmmm, wonder what corley (hatton was WBO contender for years but never made the fight), mitchell (called hatton out, came to manchester and hatton still ducked him), Judah (called hatton out and heard no reply) and witter (ducked for 10 years) would have done, among others. what a coinsidence that he never fought those fighters who have their slick styles in common
Bradley was Witter's.....Collazo. Hatton did enough to win a very close decision..could've been a DRAW..and maybe a few mighta given it to Collazo by a 1pt...... Hatton pass the test...Witter did not....again...
:: Take off the hatton blinkers mate. that fight was a draw at best for hatton. he almost got killed in the last round. stumbling around the ring like a saturday night drunk
Malignaggi (I presume this is the guy we are meant to be talking about?) doesn't have enough pop to seriously hurt Hatton, and as average as Hatton looked on Saturday, Paulie looked a lot worse. Even this version of Hatton beats Paulie. When he does, he should call it quits and enjoy himself a long, wealthy retirement.
Paulie was awful the other - I still think he could cause Hatton some trouble with his speed. In saying that I was impressed with Hattons aggression the other night. I could see Hatton walking through the malinaggi jab and winning a wide UD.
That's roughly how I would anticipate the fight going. Paulie has quick hands but his speed is somewhat overstated and he certainly doesn't have any real pop in either hand. In order to beat Hatton, you have to be slick and you have to be have sufficient power and timing to hurt him as he comes bulling in behind that (irritating beyond belief) lunging left hook. Paulie may have the hand-speed but he doesn't have sufficient power to discourage Hatton from taking a couple to land a couple more. Also, N'Dou showed on Saturday that it is quite easy to draw Paulie into an ugly, mauling type of fight, and in that sort of contest, Hatton would fold Paulie up. Either way, I can't see Malignaggi winning. He doesn't have the tools. MTF
Exactly Hatton would eat that jab with ease all night. But If I was Hatton I wouldnt underestimate Paulie. I recently watch Paulie V Cotto, even though Cotta well won that fight Paulie was impressive and landed some nice shots.
what gets me is hatton has a great solid jab when he uses it. and is billy graham so ridiculous that he doesn't see the fact that hatton always leads with that predictable and telegraphed lunging left hook. not only that but every time he does it he drops his right hand leaving himself completely open to counter left hooks. are they blind???
I think Hatton just ignores whatever Graham tells him. No trainer with eyes would let something as blindingly obvious as the vulnerability of that lunging hook go without saying something. As I stated in another thread, I believe that Hatton's reliance on that hook instead of what used to be a very sound jab is another symptom of his decline. MTF
