Dont call me a Khan fan, but at least he seems to have the ability to back up the shit he talks, all Paulie does is runs his mouth, takes punishment in the ring without falling down, and looks like a ******.
The Magic Man definitely has slick skills but that performance against Hatton was terrible, he was hugging when he got hurt. He was winning the fight though up to that point. His fights against Juan Diaz was a good scrap. But I keep remembering him pussying about with his hair and his shorts falling down. He is a lot more charismatic than Khan though. I like his interviews.
Khan we have a millionaire kid who hasn't really justified his hype, I think we all know Roach has hand picked Magic Man he has seen a weakness that can be exploited. So really this is a test if Khan is a good student of the Roach. Khan presents himself as a down to earth kid but I am frustrated he didn't take the Maidana fight. Did he go for the money? Perhaps, but I would have more respect if Khan was so confident in his skills that he would take anybody on. I think Khan is a business he is gonna follow the big money fights as opposed to the big wars that would enhance his rep. I respect this if he has paid his dues already and already had his wars, like Bhop and Floyd, but this kid has yet to have the awesome fight against a reputable opponent that would stimulate his legacy.
I bet Khan to win, but I believe Paulie is the under dog and I love the under dog. Come on Paulie!!!
I can't stand Mallinaggi sorry after the stupid ass haircut incident, getting chin checked and not doing shit the rest of the fight against Hatton, crying about being robbed in every other fight and then thinking that he was someone who was even on the level enough to jump on the bandwagon and start talking shit and spreading rumors about Pacquiao. Sorry there is just too much that I can't stomach about him. We don't know that Khan is anything special and this is his first time on the big stage but I think Freddie is good at what he does(matchmaking as well as training) and I think this is more of a showcase fight for Khan to get him in the American market.
Funny , looks like someone has out "arroganced" the loud mouth and is now calling khan too arrogant . Now if that ain't the pot calling the kettle black,
I like Paulie, he's a good fighter. But there's something about him that bothers me...iunno if it's that he bitches and moans a lot, the way he looks(referring to his style), or his accent...maybe it's all of those ahaha
everything about the guy used to grate on my nerves. somehow he's grown on me lol

This has become quite an intriguing fight, both guys have put themselves on the line with the things they have said in the press, especially paulie, khan has talked some too, and it was freddie who predicted the 3rd round stoppage (which might put khan under pressure). Something has to give! both guys are in good form coming off good wins, are confident of winning, haven't given themselves any real excuses if they were to lose, paulie says he is better than ever and I believe him. I think this is the first time khan has fought in genuine world class (kotelnik is fringe world class) so lets see what happens.
"You have to know the best time to have these big fights in your career. If you look at Oscar De La Hoya, he fought all the best fighters when they were on the way downhill, and not at their best. I want to catch these guys when they have come off their peak. But I have to be careful because there might be a younger version of me coming up who wants to do exactly the same to me." Amir Khan, GQ Magazine
Paulie is like the kid that talks a big game to a girl - how he's going to do this, that and the other - and ends up ejaculating in 35 seconds (and still carries on talking the big game).
The reality
Mallignaggi is over-rated. His accomplishments came from getting his jaw broken by Cotto and showing heart for surviving for as long as he did.
Khan is bigger, significantly (IMO) faster, hits much much harder and had genuine KO power.
Paulie can talk as though he's the favourite but in reality everytime he has been on the big stage (Diaz, Hatton, Cotto) he has lost.
Saturday night will be exactly the same. I just hope he has the humility after the fight to show some sportsmanship towards Khan (who in reality isn't that arrogant and is being held to ransom on comments he made a really long time ago)
Actually he beat Diaz both times....if you watched the first Diaz fight,it is pretty tough to say that Diaz won that one. His only legit,clear losses came against Cotto and Hatton... both guys were supposed to stop him,but couldn't-both of those guys are leagues above Khan in their primes.
Paulie has decent handspeed,boxing skills and is tough as hell,but he cannot break an egg.
He will make a competitive fight.
khans career so far way outshines that of malinaggis already olympic silver barrera kotlenik salita over 3 losses diaz hatton cotto only win was 2nd fight v diaz and only reason ppl thought he won the first fight cause ti was very very close was the dodgey judge who ad it 118 110 so his only real win was diaz who was never a world class fighter anyway khan is 23 got 10/15 years in the sport a head of him and is a world champ he will get to a very high level malinaggi gona get smacked all round the ring come sat
Get the **** out of here. You really think that win over Barrera means something? He fought an over-the-hill Barrera...waaaaay passed his prime. I think I just shit in my pants.

paulies wins are not over anyone to brag about,and hes looked messy in fights too.
i wudnt expect paulie to beat kotelnik that fought khan that night,or a faded cut up barrera or prescott.
i think paulie will be in for a shock if he really thinks khans speed and power is over rated,i think actually khan boxes better,has better combinations,higher punch output and just as good movement with a better defence.
paulie should learn to talk less and not look so stupid after he shit talks and loses.
