BoxingScene.com reached out Paulie Malignaggi to get his thoughts on the recent comments that were made by Kevin Cunningham, the manager/trainer WBC/IBF junior welterweight champion Devon Alexander. Cunningham had been critical of Amir Khan not fighting his mandatory challenger Marcos Maidana and opting to fight Malignaggi instead. Cunningham said "Khan versus Malignaggi is a joke."
Malignaggi, never one to who hold back on words said, "Tell him he can stay in the belt collecting business. I'm a veteran. I'm in the check collecting business. The joke is not that Khan is fighting me. The joke is that he's been in this business longer than I have and he still doesn't get it (laughing)."
If Malignaggi gets past Khan and Alexander wins his next fight, I can only imagine a press conference for a Malignaggi versus Alexander fight.
