Am I the only one that just cracks up at Khan choosing Paulie?

True. IMO Paulie is even better then the last opponents Bradley and Alexander fought . I know that styles make fight but these haters just see the KO ratio of Paulie and think that he forms no threat to Amir. Amir has never fought someone as slick and fast as Paulie so this fight will tell us yet again how complete of a fighter Amir really is. I think this fight will help reveal Khan's true status in the division. Even though Malignaggi isn't a big puncher, he's only ever lost to fighters who were, at some point in time, world champions - namely Diaz, Cotto and Hatton. And Malignaggi is looking much better since he left McGirt so he should be close to his best.

Paulie Malignaggi was a potential opponent for Floyd Mayweather before the Mosley vs Berto bout was cancelled. Paulie is going from a possible fight with Mayweather to a fight with Khan and he's going to be a tough test for Khan imo. If you look at Timothy Bradley's and Devon Alexander's last opponents - Lamont Peterson and Juan Urango, Malignaggi is at least the same level as the both them, and infact probably more tricky to fight then either Urango or Peterson because of his speed and movement. This isn't the same Malignaggi who fought Hatton, it's a much better version. I agree with Malignaggi when he says McGirt unintentionally made him worse when he was under his tutelage, he's boxing much better lately since he left McGirt.

Paulie is a decent fighter. He might not have any knockout power but he is very skilled. He gave Cotto a hard fight. I don't think this is gonna be an easy fight.

Marcos Maidana = scary I don't have a problem with Khan other than his avoiding Maidana, but chosing the softest puncher in the division after refusing to fight his hard punching manditory is obvious. Khan fans, I didn't post this to upset you, it's just obvious.

I think this is a great fight for Khan. Plus I want to see someone shut Paulie up. If Paulie gets beat by Khan, hopefully he retires. I am sick of hearing about this loud mouth. On another note, if Paulie knocks down Khan or knocks him out, Khan will never be the same. Paulie is a weak ass bitch. Couldn't knock out a girl.

I mean he's a "world champion" so why not take world class opponents? Maidana Devon Bradley Campbell Ortiz Every champion should try to unify the belts But Khan is nothing but a spoon fed paper champ. And Paulie is rated number 7 in the JWW division. He's a bitch. I rank paullie over ortiz & campbell

I mean jesus christ it's f*cking hilarious that him being under fire about his glass chin, And he takes on 5 KO Paulie for his title defense instead of a top 5 JWW? :haha: :haha:. Calm down bitch. You don't have to be so angry because Marquez ducked Khan. Khan will fight the winner of Bradley-Maidana next. So, shut your mouth.

I thought it was so Roach can punish Paulie for attacking Pacquiao. No, thats the excuse they gave to avoid Maidana.

No one in the UK knows who Maidana is. Malignaggi is a much bigger name then Maidana. Maidana does not speak English, not great for marketing a debut. Prescott sucks at English too.

Maidana got greatly known in the states for beating Victor Ortiz on HBO, thats a lame excuse to duck Maidana! Con ducked his mandatory Maidana for a fighter who couldn't crack an egg with his fists.

hele fight maidana when time is right,the guys his mandatory and khan wants that belt so tha fight will happen soon if not next. How is that fight going to ever happen if Bradley beats Maidana? Then Con's ppl use triangle theories to never fight Maidana! :pat:

hes a former champion a the weight,has fought cotto and hatton and diaz,is a well known name,a tricky style to box agianst and this was khans 2nd choice. real fact is khan went for marquez,marquez ducked KHAN!. people seem to remember what suits them,and believe "facts" that they like to believe. hele fight maidana when time is right,the guys his mandatory and khan wants that belt so tha fight will happen soon if not next.

Hes making his US debut, hes fighting the most marketable name other then himself at 140. I don't think its a bitch move, its simple business. What he does next determines his legitimacy.

Everyone knows if Paulie could crack at all the fight would never be made. They are just trying to position Khan for one big cash out fight.

gonna be so awesome if Paulie KTFO him funny thing is Pauile will probably get KO #6. If mali lands that shot he did against diaz its lights out.

its a good fight...malignaggi has way more pedigree at 140 then some of the fighters the ts mentions. I would like paulie over ortiz, maidana, and maybe even campbell who is an older fighter. Paulie has the style to beat all those guys, he is in his prime right now and is a good fighter plus more popular then the afformentioned fighters plus he is from new york so he brings something to the gate also. I think the only guys in the division that paulie can't beat are bradley, khan, and alexander so I would have him at no 4 or 5...so you could argue khan is fighting a top 5 guy and don't forget he is a former titlist himself

I hope Paulie at least knocks Khan down. How embarrassing would that be for Amir? it would be very embarassing haha
