Malignaggi was a careful choice as Cotto's Puerto Rico day opponent, I think that speaks for itself,............then after the arsewhipping, the IBF decides to make him a paper belt holder?, ...good for him Dsimon, ...good for him :crafty: .
Your an idiot if you think Paulie is an ESPN fighter. He's ARGUABLY the best fighter at 140. I say arguably cause I'd give him a very good chance at outboxing either Witter, or Hatton. At worst he's the 3rd best fighter at 140, and thats no disgrace either. His performance against Ndou was very impressive IMO, and I expect him to school Ngoudjo saturday night.
:: Are you proud of how far Malignaggi has come since his loss Illuminati??.. WORLD CHAMPION...*wolf whistles*...the honourable and reputeable IBF sanctioning body has SUPERCHARGED Cotto's resume, oo la la :: .
Margarito was also a careful pick as Cotto's Puerto Rican day opponent..but MArgarita didn't want to be embarrass in such a huge stage so he took on his sparring partner in some ally in california...
that metrosexual got in the ring with Miguel Cotto....that more than i can say about Antonio "Nobody wants to fight me, however Cotto did offer me a cool 2 mil for a fight but i ran from it" Margarito....
Why's he even the 3rd best fighter?.. because he talks alot of shit?..because the IBF granted him a random title shot out of nowhere?... I think Harris fucks him up for one, ...is he the 4th best in a weak division?...welcome to ESPN with open arms.
"you're" an idiot. learn the conjunction - it's different than the possessive. the n'dou fight was a travesty. paulie has good foot-work, and he hooks well off his jab. that's about it. he's ESPN - no better.
Malignaggi is a sheer flamboyant flirty wop, atleast Prince Naseem had a bit of bravado about him, Paulie is a disgrace to the race :doh: .
okay..but he still has more balls/guts than Antonio Margarito....he sign to fight Cotto on the dotted line....Margarita did not....
