What was/is Malignaggi's claim to fame?

He's a bad mother****er.

His claim to fame is not ducking anyone, his sense of humour, and the fact that the man has never been KO'd. Stopped yes, but even then he was never going to be knocked out by the likes of Khan or Hatton. The guy absolutely deserves his fame for doing what he does and thats coming to fight.

The beating he took from Cotto. not many guys have the balls to go in for a beating like that with no power and grit it out. Especially with a broken jaw.

He should have lost to Cano.

hes the magic man the kid that beats boxers with no left hand (earlier in his career) and no power i think his claim to fame is just that and hes won championships multiple times

losing almost all his big fights and having a big mouth? i don't know.....

Being the only fighter in history to get a haircut mid fight. what fight is that?

the paulie strategy=cherry pick c level fighters until an A level fighter comes calling and whoops his ass. repeat process for ten years. he's only beaten 2 ranked fighters his entire career and they were ndou and senchenko so yea pretty crappy. he's lucky he has a good promoter. Judah was ranked, and still is. So was Diaz.

Paulie is the Kenny Smith of boxing.

Good boxer, and as game as they come. Essentially a gatekeeper for the top level.

He sure gets away with a lot of crybaby stuff

He got a haircut in the ring

well i like him in jersey shore.

His mouth. He's a C+/B- fighter that always puts up a good fight but comes up short when he reaches a certain level.

Like I said in another thread: overhyped club fighter with a big mouth. Sick and tired of these absolute retards pretending a lack of power is the only thing holding him back from bum status. He barely even touched Khan and Hatton, for christ sake; these guys were just quicker, sharper boxers who had the great fortune of being in there with a guy who has no semblance of head movement. It's also worth noting that he lost to Ngoudjo and Cano. The second fight with Ndou could have gone either way as well.

Thanks for the info. Another question, who did he take the titles from at 140, and 147? N'dou and Senchenko (beat him in Ukraine) I think. I know they aren't the greatest fighters but Paulie has been willing to fight the best fighters around his weight even now that he's past prime.
