i do wish he had pop tho' because he's entertaining as hell, and has good skills.

yeah me too its a shame, he has the charisma to be a star, i wonder if it is hand problems or some wierd fluke that his body isnt capable of generating power. it seems that a certain level of athletic that he surely has would enable him to at least throw a respectable punch.

For me Zab is too inconsistent to be listed as an A-list fighter. When I think A-lister I think guys like Froch, Ward, etc...

Zab has basically amounted to a really ****ing tough gate keeper.

i grant you that, at one time he was at least a b+ level fighter though haha

I always wonder that also why he couldnt generate any power to earn any decent boxer respect. But he does have a good skill set.

gimme a break with pavlik, crazy power, linear world champ, great heart. he has been sht as of late, but i dont think a bout with alchoholsim is enough for a demotion.

Wasnt Zab also a lineal champion with crazy power who fell off.

Ortiz is showing promise at 147. I think he is like 155 natural weight, so 140 was hard for his body to carry. But 147 he looks good.

He doesn't sit down on punches or turnover his punches a lot of times, while he is skilled he tends to fight amatuer'ish ....power comes from your lower half and if you're not sitting down on your punches or turning them over correctly then you're not going to hit someone with as much force as u possibly can , i noticed that a lot about Paulie , he's so worried about scoring, majority of the time he just flicks his punches out there and already in retreat mode..

he steps into none of his punches.

Paulie has power. He just doesn't use it. He never sits down on his punches. He's always punching while on the move. Rather than planting his feet and going for it. When he has, he hurts dudes. He hurt Cotto when he sat down on his punches.

But I think he has fragile hands. He said something about it and said he changed styles back to the speedy pop-less stuff because he was going to be himself rather than what people wanted him to be. Something like that.
