Britain’s Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton completely out-hustled and out-fought

Paul Malignaggi baffling the “Magic Man” with his strong-armed aggressiveness and set the stage for a possible showdown with Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao or “The Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya, depending on the outcome of their “Dream Match” at the same MGM Grand Garden Hotel venue in Las Vegas on December 6.

The impressive 11th round TKO victory when Malignaggi’s trainer Buddy McGirt waved the white towel of surrender to prevent his young fighter from suffering more punishment in a fight he hadn’t a chance of winning basically using just his left hand, clearly raised the possibility of a fight against the winner of the Pacquiao-De La Hoya showdown.

However, Floyd Mayweather Jr was thrown into the mix when Hatton told BBC Sport that Mayweather Jr was coming out of retirement which he probably learned from Floyd’s father who trained Hatton for the Malignaggi fight and did a fine job in seven weeks.
