Is Paulie the best pure boxer in the game today?

Give him a couple years. He has great skills but lacks power. That jab is his bread and butter. I think he throws twice as much as the average at his weight.

How about NO How about HELL NO!!!

I think some of you all are confusing being a pure boxer versus who is the better boxer overall. I am talking 12 rds of pure boxing, sticking and moving, use of the ring, slipping punches etc. I dont see too many that are better for a complete 12 round fight.

How about NO that works

I think floyd zab corley Shamba Roy and Mundine are all better and thats only a few that i can think of!!!

I mean strictly on boxing skill, movement etc. He just might be. I have Calderon and Floyd as better than him. He's among the best though.

just because you beat Ndou who is a fringe champion doesn't mean you're the best at being a pure boxer. If he was so pure of a boxer why did Cotto beat the brakes off of him?? :owned: co sign on that best pure boxer... come now i guess since everybody else known is a boxer/puncher with the ability to k.o. someone paul might be the only "Pure boxer" No Pop

floyd mayweather and ivan calderon are better than paulie, but paulie is up there in there league though as far as skills. floyd is the best pure boxer in the sport and ivan calderon isn't very far behind him. floyd and ivan are the top 2 pure boxers in boxing today. paulie is up there though.

No, because, although he has speed and movement, he doesn't use a lot of combinations, levels, etc. Doesn't mean he can't win or isn't skillful; but he isn't the best pure boxer.....

Ivan Calderon is a better boxer than Paulie.

Doesn't "pure" boxer refer to fighters who employ the funadmentals of boxing? You can be gifted and still have good fundamentals . I think the fundimentals of the sport have changed a bit over the years. The people who you say are gifted are almost to the point where they are the norm now. Floyd for one is a very gifted fighter and I think he has his funds down pact .

dont even know how to respond to this one, Paulie is a runner, runners arent top at anything let alone boxing, I will give you Paulie has a very crisp jab, but he has zip power and no willingness to land the knockout punch, he wants to move around the ring and win on points, fight fans want to see the big knockouts , not a 5 Mile relay race No man, remember Paulie is white. You should say something in the line of "Paulie is the greatest pure boxing... Too bad no skill :nonono: " Then you turn thread and say about floyd mayweather "WTF a runner! Run run run run run little shrimp!" Then look at mirror. Feel bad. I've seen many do this and nothing but sheer hate for floyd would justify even the very existance of this topic

Because Cotto is da' man. :boxing: Paulie couldn't even stand in with the Zab Judah Cotto even IF he was boxing all 'pure' like he was against Ndou

So was Pep ,Roy, Ali and a million others being gifted doesn't take way the fact that they are great boxers. Doesn't "pure" boxer refer to fighters who employ the funadmentals of boxing?

Whitaker was just gifted. What he did in boxing was not something that could be taught. So was Pep ,Roy, Ali and a million others being gifted doesn't take way the fact that they are great boxers.

I mean strictly on boxing skill, movement etc. He just might be. YEP INDEED HE IS AND THE MOST EXCITING TO WATCH 2:boxing: Just like HATTON could be the next WWE champion if he decides to do hes true profession :owned:

The best boxer in the world is someone like a Pernell Whitaker, Willie Pep, or Floyd Mayweather who can beat anyone and any style by moving defending and not being hit. Paul does these things very well but has not proven just yet that he can beat anyone of any style on any given day with pure boxing. He might be at the very tip top but being number one is is just a little much for right now . Whitaker was just gifted. What he did in boxing was not something that could be taught.

Finally McGirt has his type of fighter too. Him and Malignaggi are a perfect match.
