MALIGNAGGI: "IF CASAMAYOR WANTS TO STEP UP, I'LL WHOOP HIS ASS ON HBO!"
By G. Leon
GL: Can you give us some thoughts on Ricky Hatton's performance against Jose Luis Castillo? "I thought Ricky Hatton did what he had to do against a guy who was past his prime. If you remember correctly, Paul Malignaggi was like a prophet. I told everybody who would listen that Castillo wasn't the same fighter and he wouldn't put up the same fight against Hatton, and Hatton would win pretty easily. That's exactly what happened. Castillo looked pretty shot to me. Listen man, Ricky Hatton is 43-0 so he's a good fighter, but I'm going to say what I've been saying originally, if he wants to get in there with a young lion, someone who is really going to test him then step up to the plate and fight Paulie Malignaggi. I'll show Ricky Hatton what it feels like to be in there with somebody who knows how to fight, somebody who's in their prime and somebody who's coming to win."
