Malignaggi is full of bull$hit. Hatton will box his head off. If he fights aswell as he's trained, Malignaggi won't stand a chance.

Did you see Malignaggi against Cotto 2 years ago? If he performs like that Hatton could be in for a very tough evening. Considering Malignaggi was 3 points down on every scorecard after 2 rounds in that fight he only lost by 3,5 and 5. Having said that, Malignaggi hasn't boxed as well since but he certainly isn't going to rollover for Hatton and I worry that he may be too quick for Ricky.

He got his cheekbone broke and lost unanimously. Cotto wasn't the same boxer then that he is now. Cotto's weight is at 147lbs, not a weight drained 140lbs. Even Ricardo Torres knocked Cotto down at 140.

Agreed but his pace caused Cotto problems. Malignaggi likes to fight people who come onto him offering him a chance to pick them off with his quick hands.

Aye, he was undefeated then.

This isn't about Cotto, and whether he got knocked down at 140 or not is irrelevant as Malignaggi couldn't knock anyone over due to his lack of power. My point is that Malignaggi is technically a better fighter than people give him credit for. Technically he fought 10 decent rounds against Cotto. Bearing in mind his hand had gone, his eye was cut and his cheekbone was broken, he didn't exactly get rolled over. He is quick, elusive and if he can step up again I expect him to give Hatton trouble. I expect Hatton to win but I see this as one of his toughest assignments.

I think the Ricky Hatton under Billy Graham would've struggled with Malignaggi's jab when coming in, although his pressure would've ultimately got him in and enabled him to land body shots. Malignaggi doesn't defend anywhere near as good as Mayweather, so he will land shots. Hopefully the version under Mayweather will be a bit smarter in his approach, but still very aggressive.
Quote ="Sthelens RLFC"Aye, he was undefeated then.

Hardy ha ha!
I think we can all acknowledge Cotto's best performances have come since he took on welterweights at 147lbs. His size just fits that division, he's able to use his power to better effect.
Quote ="Sthelens RLFC"My point is that Malignaggi is technically a better fighter than people give him credit for. Technically he fought 10 decent rounds against Cotto.'"
Technically he's good and is better than Hatton, no doubt about it. He fought well against Cotto, but Cotto's relentlessness and his combinations destroyed him. He's got alot of heart and determination though, many guys would've got knocked out to Cotto.
I just don't think Malignaggi has the ability and power to really put Hatton under any massive danger, certainly not to win the fight.

| What is Hatton hoping to achieve by carrying on ?
Everybody loved the guy and thought he could achieve anything. Mayweather blew this completely out of the water. Hatton could fight that guy 100 times and lose everytime so I question the need to continue on and fight people where Hatton has nothing to gain and everything to lose.

Maybe he wants to go down as a great fighter rather than a good one?

Just turned 30. I'm not sure he needs the money tbh, it's never been that big of an issue for Hatton.

I think he already will tbh.
He'll go down as someone who dominated everybody but one guy who was in all honesty in a class of his own.
I just dont see what Hatton can gain from fighting a big mouth Yank.

Completing the domination of the division and shutting the cocky plank up?
If he does that, I reckon Hatton will be looking at 2 or 3 fights max - De La Hoya, Mayweather and Pacquiao. Imagine if he beats one of those. That's a fairly impressive record to retire on.

| I think if Ricky wins on Saturday he should fight Mayweather at Wembley [size=17(with everyone who went to the last Hatton v Mayweather getting in free )[/size and then either retire or fight De La Hoya then retire.

I dont think a cocky yank is worthy of fighting Hatton, as I said IMO Hatton has nothing to gain from this guy and everything to lose.
I cant see what fighting an aged De La Hoya will give him, Mayweather is a non starter unless Hatton enjoys being made to look a mug and I know little about the other guy.

De La Hoya is an impressive name to add to anyone's list. He's still a very good boxer, although more of a money man these days. He's fighting Pacquiao on December 6th, so you'll be able to check him out yourself. He's currently ranked P4P #1 and is the current WBC lightweight Champ and WBC Super Featherweight Champ. He's stepping up two weight classes to take on De La Hoya.
I wouldn't fight Mayweather either if I was Hatton, but Hatton genuinely believes he can beat him especially at home with a British ref. You can't blame him for wanting to avenge defeat, even though I can't see it.

I am glad to hear Hatton wants Mayweather.

| If Hatton is serious then he should be knocking this idiot out and then going all out for Mayweather again. De La Hoya is nothing but a money making exercise and Hatton has nothing to prove by fighting up and coming fighters who are looking for a big name on their list.

Aye.
Mayweather Jr back in training and Hatton has said he wants another go, so it looks like Hatton v Mayweather II is going to happen.

| Ricky has been really talking up his new training regime and I hoep its not just all talk, he has been going on about it for months now. I have not seen enough of the Yank to call the fight although should Hatton produce close to his best I fancy him to have enough to win. The danger is the other mans speed and the longer the fight goes on the more Hatton might be on the back foot. Should be a super fight though.

That seems to be the opinion of 99% of Hatton's fans... fingers crossed Hatton hasn't underestimated Malignaggi in the same way or else he will lose. It's going to be a very close fight, Malignaggi's speed will cause Hatton problems and also he's a lot lot tougher than his "bling bling" exterior suggests.
Malignaggi has never been knocked out in his career, even when his face was pretty much broken by Miguel Cotto, so he's proved he can take a hell of a lot of punishment. It's going to go the distance, hopefully Hatton will have enough in the tank to pick up enough points.
