I would go with Malinaggi. Paz attempted to be some sort of boxer at lower weights but IMO he was only a B-class fighter. Paz would have to win on workrate but if Paulie sticks to his jab , Paz would have a problem outpointing him.
both the winner and the loser get to be executed via firing squad for crimes against good taste ... my treat!
Paulie is OK. Vinnie is a total guinea hump. I hope Paulie would win but it is possible that Paz just roids up and novocaines up and gets the W.
I don't get why Paulie gets hated on so much. Yeah he's feather fisted but he's always shown heart and doesn't seem unlikeable outside the ring.
I think Paulie would win. And I agree with Slice that Paulie is a likeable guy. And he's always fought with heart even in defeat.
I think most here are confusing "more likeable" with "better". I know Paz isn't popular around here, but if you can manage to look past the hate (which leaves Irish out), Paz was a good fighter and more versatile than Paulie. He could win on workrate, but he also could box as well, especially at 135 - 140. I don't see where Paulie is the better boxer. And it's not like Paz takes a back seat to anyone in heart.
I wish nothing but harm on that guido, but I am inclined to agree that Paz is a better fighter than Malignaggi
Absolutely I agree. I like Paulie. Not only has he shown a lot of heart in the ring, but yeah he is likeable and quite "real" out of the ring. Bizarre he gets so much hate.
