Paulie Malignaggi

"I feel like nothing can break me and don't be surprised if I stop him. But I won't be looking for a knockout, I'm a boxer first, a crafty guy."

"I don't think you can teach an old dog new tricks. He'll probably come out with a few new wrinkles, but he's been the same way for many years and there's not too many things you can change."

"But I'll be ready for anything he brings to the table, I'm not really concentrating on him, I'm concentrating on being the sharpest Paulie Malignaggi."

"I've never fought in Vegas, so for the first fight to be of this magnitude is surreal. Ever since I won the IBF title [in July 2007], it's a fight I've been looking forward to, and I'm looking forward to cashing in."

"It's a great clash of styles and personalities, but I just don't see how Hatton can win."


Ricky Hatton

"They never cease to amaze me, there's been a lot of fights to deal with recently - Joe Calzaghe in New York, David Haye last weekend - and you've got Christmas and New Year coming up, as well as the credit crunch."

"I'm very excited about what type of performance I'm going to put in, I went into training camp thinking 'am I past it, have the hard fights finally caught up with me?' But I haven't felt this good in two or three years - it could be the best Ricky Hatton there's ever been."

"It will be the same aggressive Ricky Hatton but with a lot more polish, a lot more use of the jab and a lot more awareness of punches coming back at me."

"Malignaggi will be expecting me to come out like I have in the my last few fights, all guns blazing and with no real thought.

"But Floyd has slowed me down, got me moving my head, showing angles and generally doing stuff I haven't done in recent training camps.

"Everyone who thinks I'm past it will be writing a different script after Saturday and I'd be a liar if I didn't think I could stop him."
