Shut it.
So what if I'm emotional? - this is boxing. It's not like I picked Paul to win, I was braced for this, because I had a vague idea of how close Paul really was to his previous best (despite hoping I was wrong) and that Khan would ultimately prove too much for him.
This is about realism. Nothing I said about Khan's opposition was an attack on him personally, it's a statement of fact.
Alexander and Bradley should be respected on another level because they are better than Khan in multiple areas. Get it? They've done more (especially Tim) and they are better all around fighters. The first one of the 2 Khan gets in with will prove it against him and I'll be bumping this shit for you to avoid.
Alexander stopping Witter and Urango is way bigger than anything Khan's done. Who are you kidding?
Urango and Witter ?LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
You know for a FACT that you would have brushed aside those names if Khan had beaten them and lets be honest. If you want to bring up Witter then I have to bring up Barerra who is a much better fighter than Witter and even similar in age.
Urango? Since when has this guy done anything to be considered a top fighter.
I give it up to Bradley but Alexander has not proven anything as of yet and beating the likes of Urango is a decent name to have on the CV but the dude is not world class.
You seriously love the American hype train don't you? And please tell me what areas those two are SO much better? And quit the large font size dude, no need to act all desperate.
Khan looked good tonight, I was very impressed. He is extremely difficult to fight and would give any junior welter hell. I still don't know about his chin but I do know about his footwork, combinations, speed and, most important, ring intelligence. All outstanding. It was obvious Paulie wasn't the same fighter but he wasn't that far off from his peak and it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I'd still pick Bradley and Alexander over him but he's at the head of that next tier. Good stuff tonight.
Great post, I agree 100%

Shush, goofball - this is realism.
I like the kid (fuck his entourage), but Khan's done nothing but take on overmatched guys since Prescott, that's the reality. Picking a fight with a battle-worn, physically declining Malignaggi is one thing, Bradley and Alexander are another. He's getting bodied, watch and see - your glory is going to be short-lived, son.
Magic Man fan for Life. You're going to be a Khan cheerleader until Bradley or Alexander close down his hype for good, but not beyond. The next British hype will consume all your cute lil' boxing affections then.
Now jog on.
Quit whining you muppet. Hype train? So Alexander is worthy because he beat who again? Just because they are American, they must be treated and respected on another level?
You ass is just emotional right now after your hero got mopped for the entire fight and now you want to hate huh lol.
It's all good, shit happens and it happened to your boy but quit fronting about Amir Khan cherry picking fighters because he just called out Maidana and only ignorant people go about trying to fight big punchers straight after getting ko'd. Your ass would have done the same so please cut it out.
The smell of perspiration gives the man strength. Khan was using old spice tonight which is why he won.
Oh and also he was on PEDs....
i knew it! Pauli tried to sniff out Khan's peds! Wonder what type he found.
I wonder if the next fighter wipes shit on his armpits will Pauli still pull that same move everytime?
Im a say this for all the true Paulie Malignaggi fans, our guy lost fair and square, Khan was just to good on the night. We cant say Khan was lucky, there was no luck involved it was just that Khan came out and did the job. It was a bad night if you are a Paulie Malignaggi fan. WAR PAULIE! Respect Khan, he didnt nothing wrong but break out hearts :(
Maidana vs Khan would be a good test for Khan because Maidana has Power, Khan can probably win that fight by staying outside and using his SPEED advantage, he should be able to land on Maidana all night because Maidana don't have any defense but of course if Maidana lands then Khan will be in trouble
Bradley is no soft puncher either I don't know what some of these guys are talking about and why they are all of a sudden trying to downplay Bradley as if he is not a good fighter, Bradley has amazing head movement and knows how to get inside on Taller Guys with Long Reaches, Lamont Peterson had a 74' reach
Ortiz should step up and fight Alexander or Bradley, I think it is pretty obvious that Golden Boy Promotion wants Alexander and Bradley to fight each other before fighting one of their fighters
thats one of pauli's famous trademarks..
putting his head underneath another mans arm pits,
saw it vs hatton, saw it vs khan. its horrible :sad:

ok
I find it strange though that you people are saying Hatton was clinching, because Paulie was initiating 99% of the holding and clinching against Hatton (surprisingly).
EXCATLY, anyone who has watched the fight should know this.
Hatton didn't 'hug and maul' him as you suggest. He totally out boxed him that night and consistently landed the jab, much like Khan tonight. Stop hating.
Paulie just couldn't deal with the speed, he was gettin his head snapped back cuz he couldn't see the punches coming, if Khan had some decent power he would've got him out of there.. and Paulie said he'd fight Pac... he might've gotten killed if that happened.
Well done to Khan, he dominated Paulie but he doesn't beat Bradley, Alexander, Maidana or Ortiz.
Khan isnt that fast ive seen him fight before. Something was obviously wrong with paulie tonight. Oh well better lucky next time.
Once khan fights a power puncher he will get k.o'd in rd 1 again
Khan, absolutely killed him.
Hatton hugged and mauled him.
ehhhh no, hatton boxed beautifully, while PM ducked and held, and it scrappy in parts, hatton did none lf that.
In terms of boxing? Yeah, of course.
In terms of damage? No way in this universe.
hell no. paulie didn't want to quit against hatton. against khan he accepted the loss.
If its a Tournament style they want to pull with Bradley, Alexander, Khan and Maidana, The two Top seeds (Bradley and Alexander) should Not be matched with each other. 1 & 2 never face off first.
It should be: Bradley vs Khan or Maidana & Alexander vs Khan or Maidana
Winners face off.
I understand your point but I don't believe Alexander should be a top 2 seed. Dude has fought nobody that is considered to be a quality opponent. Especially now that Amir convincingly beat Paulie, he has to be ranked above Alexander.
But that is just my opinion on your interesting point but Alexander in my eyes is not worthy of the top 2 seed.
Khan was lucky paulie wasn;t fighting like he usually does. If paulie fought smart he wouldve easily won.
Paulie never had great d to begin with and also Amir has better footwork, boxing ability, and is straight out faster than paulie with way more power. How the hell paulie can beat khan easily. The reason paulie look flat footed because amir didn't pressure paulie and every time pauliie tried to go in an out, that because of amir's reach and speed advantage that he can jab paulie while paulie couldnt reach amir at all. So again paulie would lose no matter what because amir has every advantage outside of his chin. Amir outboxed paulie. end of story. Really paulie beat a feather fisted, flat footed, bloated lightweight.
LOL! I meant to say Khan did a better job against Paulie than Hatton.
In terms of boxing? Yeah, of course.
In terms of damage? No way in this universe.
