If Malinaggi had power....

Disagree, he lacks the heart, chin, speed and boxing abilities of the two fighters. One can criticise certain things about Paulie Malignaggi but not for lacking heart or chin. Paulie has a bad defence though, he has no head movement and only body/footwork. that's a more accurate criticism imo

^ This! Paulie has knocked down N'dou, wobbled Baby Bull, and stopped a previously unbeaten Senchenko. I don't know what more one could ask of Paulie. 33 have tried, 32 failed..... one obliterated him. I swear, people should be quetsioning Pac and Floyd about Paulie and why they're not fighting him..... actually I don't blame them. Let them ask those pitty pat questions, Paulie's waiting

If he had power? WTF are you talking about? He has to pull his punches just so he doesn't kill his opponents ^ This! Paulie has knocked down N'dou, wobbled Baby Bull, and stopped a previously unbeaten Senchenko. I don't know what more one could ask of Paulie.

Not that fast? Paulie in his prime was fast as fock! Ridiculous speed! Coupled with heart and a rock solid chin. If he had power his style as of now would be amplified ridiculously he wouldnt be a one handed puncher and coupled with his ring iq which i disagree with the other poster saying his ring iw is low. Because for him to have been world champ and gotten as far as he has with basically one hand and no power his ring iq had to be cultivated so to say he has low ring iq is absolutely ridiculous. With power paulie would have been an atg in my opinion I said his ring IQ/boxing ability is not the best, not necesarrily low. I base it on his perfomances vs the best fighters he fought, Cotto, Hatton and Khan. Thought he was outboxed by all of them, all of different styles, though he put in brave efforts. He couldn't adjust to any of them and blamed his corner for his first two losses which shows he needs to be told what to do in there. I think he's like Judah in that way aswell, he can look like a great flashy boxer against outmatched guys and average boxers, but against elite guys who have great boxing ability and able to adjust and change things up he struggles. Hatton was the one which stood out worse, sure Paulie was outmuscled, but Hatton didn't beat him in his usual mauling style, he outboxed him too and Paulie was the one doing all the holding he didn't know how to handle it. That was very embarrassing, particularly as Paulie called Hatton a C-level pub fighter before the fight, and he was the one who looked like that in the fight.

I would say Zab has just as much if not more heart than Paulie. Not sure if srs? Based on what exactly? Somehow I doubt Zab would go through what Paulie went through against Cotto and Hatton. Zab quit against Khan ffs.

why would he be like Zab Judah? Paulie has heart, dont insult him I would say Zab has just as much if not more heart than Paulie.

Paulies power is under rated

Yea deadlikeme he was missing a better promoter, lou dibella wasn't the best but he did what he could with what he had and considering paulie has had like 10 operations on his right hand dibella also had things to deal with, with paulie. Just bad circumstances for both

He's a white American kid and has fought in relevant divisions for awhile now...he is missing a bit more than power or else he would be a household name already.

He'd be a dangerous fighter. His chin is rock solid.

He'd be Zab Judah with heart (for poster below lol) but less explosiveness. His ring IQ/boxing ability is not the best, gets shown up against the elite just the same. Impressive that he's a two-weight division even considering all the paper belts available today

If he had power he would be more like Zab Judah than Pacquiao but he doesn't have the handspeed of either. Fair play to him though, he made it in boxing, two-weight world champion.

I was the first one on this site who was big on Paulie. He's a beast but he still has some flaws so he wouldnt be the best even with power

disagree the boy is slick and accurate but he can be out boxed he would have destroyed Cotto tho
