BoxingScene.com has received word that former junior welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi is now willing to accept a fight with former lightweight king Juan Diaz. Malignaggi was scheduled to meet Mike Alvarado on the "Latin Fury 9" undercard on June 27. The fight fell through when Alvarado suffered an elbow injury during training camp. Malignaggi�had waited for several months for the�Alvarado fight to happen, and now his patience has run thin. He wants to take a fight before the end of the summer.

Malignaggi was previously approached with an offer to fight Diaz, but wasn't exactly thrilled with the fight taking place in Houston, Texas [Diaz's hometown]. Diaz is scheduled to return on an August 22 HBO televised card. He may get�bumped to the pay-per-view undercard to Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18. If he gets the switch, Malignaggi would like to fight him on the card. If Diaz remains on the August date, Malignaggi is still open to working something out.

[QUOTE=IIG;5404492]Be careful what you wish for. Diaz might end your career.[/QUOTE] That's right... Paulie's got nothing left. You can't "tap" your way to a victory against Diaz, you need a little power to discourage him

That would make for a solid undercard. Pauli better BOX and RUN all night. He wont have the power to keep Diaz off. he better not go blow for blow either.. Pauli does have his work cut out for him.
