What happened to these 2. They were 2 of my favorites. I liked them alot because they were pure boxers and I know that the mass media & fans are biased against pure boxers nowdays so I always stick up for them. I love to see guys that have mastered the sweet science. Almost overnight though, both these guys seem like they have totally fallen off. They box nothing like they did earlier in there careers. Neither guy moves half as well. Spinks had some of the best feet in the business and now he looks like he's stuck in cement. Paulie use to be a master boxer and now he looks like a one demensional jab artist club fighter. He looked like pure garbage against Hatton. Hatton fought well but you could also tell that a D level fighter wouldve beat Paulie on that night.
Its sad to see when boxers lose it because in this sport, you rarely ever get it back. The one problem I had with both of them was the same thing. I use to compare both of them to Sweet Pea. There style reminded me of him but unlike Pea, Floyd, Toney, and other great pure boxers, these 2 seemed to get hit pretty easily. I always felt they got hit was too often and way too cleanly for how good of pure boxers they were and thats why I think there not the same now. The bottom line is that if youre going to be a pure boxer with no power then you better have top notch defense and these 2 never did
Paulie has a new trainer, not sure how to spell his name bu Salim Hernan could be how you spell it. Yeah he destroys the guy tomorrow night, maybe even a TKO, we will see. Everything really depends on how he is psychologically with that hand, he would not got beaten in the fashion he did vs. Hatton if he threw his right hand more.
Im glad Paulie still has some fans left. The guy is a character and we need more of those in boxing.
You have to like Pauli as a personality, and I wish him well, but I just can't see it happening for him. I don't think the motivation is there (he's pretty much admitted he's now only in it for the money), and those glass hands won't go away.

My honest thoughts are that a prime Spinks would have been the biggest trouble for Mayweather stylewise. He had the tools to beat him. It would have possibly been the most boring fight ever, but i admired that Spinks.
Does he still have McGirt? I hate Buddy and I think he's ruining Paulie. I hope he went somewhere else and I really wished that he wouldve went with one of the Mayweathers. I think they couldve done well with his style
no i think hes got some nobody local trainer....i think paulie beats the shit out of this guy in a very lopsided decsion...could be a shutout....paulie is still imo one of the smartest fighters out there.
i think the hatton that beat paulie...will tell us a lot more tomm night when paulie gets back in the ring....im interested in that fight.
