"From Pillar to Post" - Malignaggi, walk or all talk?

[-Antonio-]

I think he has what it takes to beat anyone in the light welter division.

I didn't have anything against him until the Cotto fight where he talked **** about Cotto (who's one of my favorite fighter) and didn't give him respect which is why it was so satisfying watching Cotto wipe the floor with him. I pulling for Cherry on this one.

hes all talk imo. still hes a gd boxer but i dont think he can beat ANY of the top fighters out there.

it's his style to be flashy,arrogant,and self centerd around interview's and promotion's because these kind of thing's sell fight's as we know,beside's he's young still and ego's rule.

In real life Paulie is flashy and just a naturally stylish guy, but he's definitely not arrogant or self-centered. He's as cool and down to Earth a guy as you can ever meet in the game.

He has the skills to beat guys like Ricardo Torres and M'Baye and would give Junior Witter fits as well, presuming that he boxes more and brawls less. If he can get in and out the way he does so well in sparring sessions and trade less, he beats these guys. Hatton and Castillo are another level above him however, IMO.

I don't see why not. Junior Witter, Ricardo Torres, and M'Baye have all shown, if anything, that they are themselves flawed titlists. Malignaggi has a shot at any of those guys.

Witter would work this kid, IMO. I want to see him in with Corley.

How would he keep a HATTON,or CASTILLO off of him.You need some power at the elite level and PAULIE don't have ANY.

That's true, but I wouldn't sweat them right now. But the lack of power is going to be a big issue for him that will impede him from hitting the top.
