You Guys Still Dissing my Boy and Sweating Cotto?

DLT20y ago

Ive been telling you about my boy Malignaggi for a couple of years now and 2 years ago I said he would give Cotto a run and beat Gatti even back then. Now I dont think this fight is happening for one minute and I would like to ask the guy who said that he heard it, where did he hear it from? However if it did happened I would go with Malignaggi and if he did lose it would definatly be close. In that other thread all of you had Cotto running this guy out the ring in a couple of rounds. No way. I believe in matchups and I honestly believe that Chop would give Malignaggi more problems then Cotto. In my personel life I am a slugger. I fight like Tyson but for some reason when it comes to watching boxing I have always been drwan to boxers. Thats why my favorite fighters are mostly all boxers. When it comes down to a boxer vs a puncher, I will almost always go with the boxer. You guys are sleeping on Paulie just because of his power. You guys just dont realize how far boxing skills can carry you. Alot of boxers dont have great pop. Sweet Pea, Ali, and many others. It will be hard for Cotto to get to Paulie and when he does, it wont be that clean. All you guys just assume because a guy has no power, people will walk through him. Its a joke. Look a fights like Byrd vs Tua. It is not that simple, guys. Look at guys like Spadafora. Paulie would give Cotto hell with his skills and he has no fear. Also he has yet to lose. Dont get me wrong, I know he has faced inferior opponents but my point is that when you havent lost yet, you really dont believe that you can be beat and you automatically are a better fighter because of that. and let me say this guys. Cotto has faced better comp but all that means is he faced it. He won but he didnt exactly come out looking like Mayweather. Cotto has had very close calls against N'Dou, Chop, and in his last fight against another nobody who hadnt fought anyone but he dropped Cotto and almost KO him and might wouldve if he didnt take the fight on short notice. and Cotto has had shaky moments in other fights. I pretty much thing Malignaggi can do that. You guys act like Cotto ran through these guys on the higher level. If they did that to him then Paulie can hang with him. Also guys how much power did Spinks have when he beat Mayorga? Its the same thing you guys said about that fight This kid can stay away from Cotto and win rounds and I think he would start to do some damage down the stretch. It would be like Byrd vs Tua

I predict that Malignaggi will put too much gel in his hair and be blinded by the chemicals in the gel once he starts sweating. This will result in Cotto landing a huge left hook on the point of "Magic Man's" chin. Cotto wins KO 2.

I think u might be forgetting that Cottos boxing skills are superior to Paulie. And no only that, cotto can punch. Paulie doesnt have ANY power, so how do u expect him to beat Cotto. He definatly wont out box cotto, and he would be dumber than rocks if he tryed to trade with cotto. Cotto has the upper hand on every aspect of this match up. And lets see how Paulie will handle the Left to the body or a straight right to the dome. Like Mike Tyson said " everybody has a plan 'till they get hit."

Let Malignaggi step up in class first then he can run his mouth. All he does is talk and call out fighters then fight some no-hoper. He's 21-0 and has yet to face a recognizable name.

I agree that all 3 of those guys would beat Paulie. Who ever disagrees needs to stop hoping on every new guys cock when ever they fight. Paul aint shit Mohammad abdulave would kill this guy even a kelson pinto!

When Paul fights a good fighter and wins then make a thread about this. This guy will not beat cotto. I bet cotto lands a left hook flush on his face (Which i know he will land) the fight will end. You accually think he could beat cotto? Even in a decsion? I don't think this guy has ever faced anyone like cotto. Cotto fights smart and is a hard hitter. I bet N'dou would beat paul. I bet torres would bet paul. I bet corley would beat paul. All of them would beat him! I agree that all 3 of those guys would beat Paulie.

Also guys how much power did Spinks have when he beat Mayorga? Its the same thing you guys said about that fight "Close calls against N'dou and Corley" I must disagree with that. Cotto's worst performance was the N'dou fight but it was not a close call. Also, Corley won one round, and that is not close. The Nobody(Ricardo Torres who was ranked #1 contender by WBO and WBC) had 26 KOs out of 28 fights. Cotto was hit flush by many many hard punches, from a A HARD PUNCHER. Magic man does not have the power that Torres does. And Torres took the fight on short notice but admitted that he was well in shape bc he had fought 3 weeks prior. None of the statement that you made in attempt to discredit Cotto have very much validity.

Cotto hasn't done enough to be considered one of the best P4P, but he's done enough to win, and looks to be one of the 3 best in the division. Malignaggi is a top 20 guy, but I just don't see him getting much higher than the top 10 or 12. You could very well be right, though. This is just my opinion. There have been plenty of guys that I didn't think were all that good that've done big things.

Whitaker, & other elite boxers.....could score KO's because they were so far superior to their foes. If you keep making some guy miss, & countering smartly/accurately...there's a good chance you eventually take him out. Not all, or most....but shit- SOME.

First of all anybody who says Malinagi cant win because of the power issue,Youre right DLT,that the weakest argument you can have.But Im not really a fan of Malinagi(sp?).I mean youre making him up to be some kind of slickster,when he dosent move enough to be called slick.Im not impressed, he looks greener than Mike Arnoutis,Id give Mike a much better chance at beating coto right now than I would your boy.He looks to basic too me,I dont see any great arsenal of punches,to me he looks more like he's impersonating a slick boxer rather than actually being a slick boxer.At the very least he needs a lot more experience.

Guys Paulie is not Sweet Pea but hes not exactly fighting Roberto Duran either. He doesnt have to be Sweat Pea to beat Cotto or to atleast give him a fight

DIEGO_DA_HITMAN

How many KOs did Sweet Pea have? This is true. Pernell wasn't a power puncher, but Malignaggi shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Whitaker. If Paulie had the skills that Sweet Pea possessed, he wouldn't need power. You're right, power is not a necessity to be a great fighter; however, Malignaggi's defense is not that good, and he doesn't possess blinding speed. He is a decent fighter, but he just isn't any more than that.

How many KOs did Sweet Pea have? Do not...I mean, do not....compare that greaseball to Pernell Whitaker. Whitaker DID show power, at times, early on.....flashes of it later in his career.

How many KOs did Sweet Pea have? 17 ko's in 40 fights thing about paulie is that he has yet to lose a round in his entire career. plus, cotto has trouble with almost everybody he faces

Well put... Malignaggi has no power- 5 KO's in 21 fights against lackluster competition. Cotto would maul him. I'd be shocked if Paulie went the distance, and the chances of him beating Miguel are slim, none, and no chance in hell. How many KOs did Sweet Pea have?

Paulie's power isn't the issue. I saw him fight, live, down in A.C (in addition to a few T.V. appearnces).....& he was getting tagged more than a supposed super-slickster should. You mentioned Spadafora....& Malignaggi will pan out just like Spads - A guy who looks slick facing mediocrities, but whose defense will be exposed when he steps up in class. Cotto is overrated, yes....but he's still on a much higher level than Malignaggi is.

I dont think you realize the class jump that from Cotto to the guy he just fought...Malinaggi has yet to fight a guy with a heart beat...settle down boy. Well put... Malignaggi has no power- 5 KO's in 21 fights against lackluster competition. Cotto would maul him. I'd be shocked if Paulie went the distance, and the chances of him beating Miguel are slim, none, and no chance in hell.
