Paulie Malignaggi is no warrior. He's afraid to travel to Ukraine to fight Vyacheslav Senchenko.

The champion Senchenko should defend his title at home if he can outbid the challenger. Too many boxers like Amir Khan, Mikkel Kessler and Dejan Zaveck have already lost their titles in the US to pampered boxers like Mali***gi getting home cooking from shady referees.
If Mali***gi wants it bad enough, he should man up and go to Ukraine.

WBA welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko and his manager Dmitriy Eliseev seem unlikely to agree to face former 140lb champion Paulie Malignaggi in the US if Eliseev’s recent Twitter rant is anything to go by.
Eliseev is currently negotiating with Malignaggi over a possible title bout between his fighter and the ‘Magic Man’ but it seems talks are far from straight forward as the recent communications have revealed.
Malignaggi is hoping to entice Senchenko to the US for the bout to raise his profile, whilst Eliseev wants the bout held in the champion’s backyard of Donetsk, Ukraine.
“In November, you were glad to box in Donetsk with Senchenko at Donbass Arena,” expressed Eliseev.
“Now you want (to fight) in New York with you as the home fighter but to box us in America you haven't made the adequate proposal.
“Already there will be auctions and you will have very little chance. If you really want to fight for a belt, you will travel to the Ukraine.
“Your conditions do not permit us to come to the US. We are not going to give you the WBA title,” he added.
Malignaggi, 31, was swift with his response as usual, with the sel-professed ‘Twitter King’ admitting that he had agreed to fight in the Ukraine but is now hoping for a home fight or at the very least a neutral venue to meet the WBA belt holder.
"Come to the USA so I can show you what level of skill I am at. I am here waiting, I want this fight, I want his belt,” said Malignaggi.
“Coming to the USA will make you a star regardless if you win or lose. Don't be afraid. You won't get beat up too bad.
“Real champions come to the United States to fight - ask Ricky Hatton. Everyone Senchenko beat was a dead corpse. Malignaggi is alive and he throws punches back!”
