If You Were Paulie???

Light welter

comment on the article

Would you be scared of Ricky? considering your style is all about punching and moving, and also considering that Lazcano could barely miss when he was fighting him is there anything in Ricky's style that would trouble you?

--------------------------------------------------------

Can only be an opinion. To be fair I haven't stood and taken a shot from either of them and wouldn't really want to.

I'd love to find out who would have won between the two. I think the Cotto vs Margarito fight stopped us ever finding out who would be the best at 144lbs between him and Hatton.

In modern day boxing when every fight needs to be seen as a big fight, why would he say his opponent has nothing, this surely means, Hatton has nothing to gain and everything to lose from the fight, not the kind of incentive a boxer enjoys

its already be proven that hatton is one of the strongest punchers in boxing they did tests at his gym in manchester or somewhere he might not be as strong as cotto but he has a stronger punch. Hatton to win via KO 8th round.

its the hatton body punch which is meant to be 1 of the hardest in the world, but considering hatton hasn't stopped many fighters in the last 3 years suggests his punching power is over hyped

"Ricky will take him out early like he did to a full sized welter, Castillo "
This would be the Castillo who is widely regarded as one of the best lightweights of the last 10 years? I love reading on these forums - always guaranteed a laugh somewhere.

When you get to world level one of the reasons you get there is durability. Thats more likely the reason ricky hasn't stopped many people in the last 3 years!Alos Ricky has been trying t blast people out with telegraphed punches, instead of setting them up, its the ones ya don't see that knock ya out. I can see what Floyd S is talking about when he mentions Duran. The thing his Duran was a better boxer than people give him credit for and as he aged and lost is intensity he used his boxing more , became more cute in there. It seems that Ricky his reverting back to his boxing since mayweather as got hold of him thank god. I just hope he is as ready as he says ! Good luck Ricky

Did anyone watch that press conference the other day with Floyd Snr rapping? I just thought Paulie looked a lot more nervous when speaking than Ricky. Ricky looked very relaxed and calm while Paulie looked kind of twichy and didnt seem as sure of himself. Dont know if it means anything but could be a sign that Paulie has doubts over the fight.
