Floyd shows Ricky the old ways are best

RICKY HATTON is looking forward to reawakening his boxing talents when he fights Paulie Malignaggi at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Hatton, 30, returns tomorrow night, to defend his Ring Magazine Light-Welterweight championship belt, to the venue where he suffered the first defeat of his career last December 8 when he was stopped by Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Yet he will climb into the same ring to face Malignaggi with his confidence restored and morale boosted by working with a new trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr.
