I think Paulie can beat Amir. He has fought tougher opponents and has a proven chin, what do you guys thinks ? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/boxing/8557297.stm
Another soft-fisted opponent for the corner boy of British boxing...... I can just see Ian Darke reciting his lines....."Malignaggi, who did so well against Ricky Hatton and then beat Juan Diaz twice...is a real fighter..." It's poo. That said, without the benefit of home 'tection, Khan might plutz and get schmaltzed on. I would love if Paulie stopped him, but the likelihood is that this fight is a big dumb fast guy vs a small dumb fast guy. Khan W12.
I'll be praying hard to Zeus for a Pauli win but Khan's the big favourite here. His vacant eyed, leaping tag boxing won't be found out against little pillow fisted Malinaggi.
Okay, so Paulie is a feather fisted big mouth, BUT this is probably the hardest fight of Khan's career to date and he'll deserve credit if he wins this one. MTF
:dunno: Paulie is probably no more talented than Kotelnik, and is the epitome, the essence,....the distillate, the very germ seed of Khan's preferred opponent, viz. smaller than Khan, slower than Khan, less powerful than Khan.
You can twist it all you like mate, but Paulie, for better or worse, is still at least a top ten 140lb-er. He's more talented than Kotelnik, but not as gritty or professional I'd say. This is a decent fight for Khan. Better than JMM would have been and better than Hatton would have been at this point too. MTF
Yes but as good as a Unification bout? Hamed fought Kelley on his big American debut. Calzaghe fought Hopkins. Khan can surely do better than Paulie......
Khan does everything better than Malignaggi...POWER, speed, defense,etc..etc.. Malignaggi has a ton more experience at the elite level Cotto and Hatton, though they were both ass-whooping.
to me this fight is a toss up. Neither guy has showned me to be so much better than the other one. I see a close decision going to Khan and Paulie crying robbery again against another golden boy fighter. ::
hahaha ...Paulie's my man. He speaks his mind. Could you imagine crippled ass Roach trying to smack him? ::
i agree! Speed = Power and Khan has an abundance of both and will floor paulie. KO win for king Khan :hammert:
i agree Malignaggi wont be able to handle khan. He's faster, stronger, more talented! Khan will hit himi with so many combos that he'll end up retiring in the corner and start crying! :atu:
i can see malignaggi going down more than once in this fight, the ref will have no option but to stop the fight!
