Malinaggi targeting Pacquiao's arm is the equivalent of Pacquiao getting bit by a mosquito so it would not change the end result.
I would give a blind folded Pacquiao a clear cut victory over Paulie.
I can maybe see it being stopped if it gets hurt enough (like Vitali style).
He's not as good of a boxer as people think he is. He's durable (or he was), has a high work rate, but big punchers with hand speed have always given him problems.
He is categorized as a sleek boxer by many people
Malignaggi lost to Cano pretty decisively but was awarded a gift decision. He's not as good of a boxer as people think he is. He's durable (or he was), has a high work rate, but big punchers with hand speed have always given him problems.
I'd take Pacquiao, in any condition, over Malignaggi any time and day.
If he didn't know Manny was injured, then no.
If he knew he was, he'd just target the arm all day long and keep his distance.
