its a good fight...malignaggi has way more pedigree at 140 then some of the fighters the ts mentions. I would like paulie over ortiz, maidana, and maybe even campbell who is an older fighter. Paulie has the style to beat all those guys, he is in his prime right now and is a good fighter plus more popular then the afformentioned fighters plus he is from new york so he brings something to the gate also. I think the only guys in the division that paulie can't beat are bradley, khan, and alexander so I would have him at no 4 or 5...so you could argue khan is fighting a top 5 guy and don't forget he is a former titlist himself

No announcement yet.
Am I the only one that just cracks up at Khan choosing Paulie?

Hes making his US debut, hes fighting the most marketable name other then himself at 140. I don't think its a ***** move, its simple business.
What he does next determines his legitimacy.Last edited by Slick_Rick; 04-21-2010, 08:03 PM.

hes a former champion a the weight,has fought cotto and hatton and diaz,is a well known name,a tricky style to box agianst
and this was khans 2nd choice.
real fact is khan went for marquez,marquez ducked KHAN!.
people seem to remember what suits them,and believe "facts" that they like to believe.
hele fight maidana when time is right,the guys his mandatory and khan wants that belt so tha fight will happen soon if not next.

Malignaggi is a much bigger name then Maidana.
Maidana does not speak English, not great for marketing a debut.
