Ricky Hatton Vs Paulie Malignaggi

Ricky Hatton Vs Paulie Malignaggi At The MGM Grand

Ricky Hatton takes on Paulie Malignaggi on Saturday 22nd November.

Ricky Hatton looks in superb shape. He really looks better then i have ever seen him before. He seems to have found a new confidence, which is just what he needed. I was watching Hatton on the pads with Floyd Mayweather Senior and he looked great. Ricky Hatton always needed to sharpen up a bit in my opinion, he has always been a 'jump in face first type fighter', now he seems to be using his brain more. Floyd Mayweather Senior will bring out the best in Ricky Hatton im sure.

There is a little battle between the two camps. Floyd Mayweather Senior trains Ricky Hatton, and Buddy Mcgirt is training Paulie Malignaggi. These are two of the best boxing trainers and both trainers think there fighter is going to win. They also Both have specific tactics to ensure there fighters win easily so this should be interesting. One of them will be wrong, there will only be one winner..

Some of the top boxing writers and even active boxers are saying that Paulie Malignaggi could win this one. His style will be too much for Ricky Hatton. This is a fight between a brawler and a good boxer, but i think if Ricky Hatton can use what he has learnt from Floyd Mayweather Senior and take his time, pick his punches, he should win.

Ricky Hatton Vs Paulie Malignaggi

There is not long to wait now for the Ricky Hatton Vs Paulie Malignaggi fight.

I think this could be a tough fight for Ricky Hatton because of Paulie Malignaggi's style. He has great boxing skills, very slick and very sharp. Those types of fighters have always troubled Ricky Hatton. Hopefully, with Ricky Hatton now teamed up with Floyd Mayweather Senior, he has learnt some new skills and sharpened up more. Ricky Hattons last two performances weren't very good, and he even admits that himself.

But for this fight he has been much more dedicated and really seems up to the job. Floyd Mayweather Senior is without doubt one of the best trainers in the world, but can you teach an old dog like Ricky Hatton new tricks? I think you can if the old dog wants it bad enough, and i think Ricky Hatton Does.

Ricky Hatton Vs Paulie Malignaggi has all the makings for a great fight. Paulie Malignaggi is much tougher then he looks too. He took a good beating from Miguel Cotto, and although he lost that fight, many people had respect for him because he lasted the whole fight and took some seriously hard punches. So we know Paulie Malignaggi can take a beating, and with his slick boxing style, he could be hard work for Ricky Hatton.

No matter which way the fight goes, i think it will be a tough fight for both fighters. Personally I am a Ricky Hatton fan, so i hope he wins, and wins in style. But i must say, i think if Ricky Hatton does lose to Paulie Malignaggi, he will retire.

I hope Ricky Hatton hasn't jinxed himself by talking bad about Paulie Malignaggi,not in this press conference but at an earlier interview. The only other time he has talked bad about another fighter was the match up with Floyd Mayweather Junior, and look what happened then..

I hope im wrong..Good luck Hitman.

Here is what Ricky Hatton had to say at the Press Conference. Ricky Hattons a great fighter and a great guy.
