Malignaggi vs. Chavez: Who Would Win?

[Steelhammer86]

Malignaggi vs. Chavez would be a very good, entertaining fight. Who do you think would win and how?

malignaggi ud

Malignaggi by UD. Bad match up for chavez jr, all the fighters they've put him in with have been guys who arent very technicaly skilled and dont give alot of movement, their soul purpose is to go in their pick up a cheque and get knocked out. Malignaggi is very well schooled and will give Chavez way to much movement for him to handle

I dunno I like Chavez chance......He has length and a great body attack.Paulie would be the safe choice tho.....certainly by UD he ain't KO anyone.

[K-Nan]

Paulie is chomping at the bit to fight Chavz. He will do well.

UD.

Pailie by UD.Although I still give JCCJr the punchers chance!

[passdabutter]

hah it kinda seems like malignaggi is slowly challenging anyone thats a big name

its like hes going down a list

"i want hatton....woops cant fight him"
"i want casamayor....woops dont look like thats goin anywhere"
"i want chavez *waits to see what happens*"

[Winkyftw!]

I think this is a real mistake from Chavez's manegment. Fighting one of the slickest boxers out there, i dunno about tht. I think Paulie will UD him, unless Chavez is soo much bigger than him, that he can hurt him with every punch.
Paulie is really improving with Buddy Mcgirt, paulie is the perfect fighter for Buddy, and buddy is perfect for Paulie. Just think of the matchup...

Chavez comes forward always, and sometimes forgets to use his jab. He loves the hook to the body, but sometimes thats all he looks for. He doesn;t try to set it up with the jab. If Chavez forgets the Jab, its an easy UD for Paulie. Hell jab him constantly, and move around the ring, landing the softer but cleaner combo's. If Chavez uses his jab, it'll be a closer fight. If he can back him up with his jab, and in the process limit some of Paulies jabbing by using his reach, he can pin him on the ropes and nail the body. Great fight. Chavez will really show him what he's made of. He just needs to make sure he doesn't look for the one punch the entire fight. Also just like the power advantage is clearly Chavez's, the speed advantage is huge for Paulie. He might just be to fast for Chavez: pot shot him all night, and win the most of the rounds, beating chavez to the punch then moving.
This fight really comes down to the variables. Will Chavez be too Strong, will Paullie be to fast, will Chavez use his jab, will paulie's power to insignficant to keep the distance he needs.

I'll pick Paulie by a close but clear UD. His boxing has really improved with Buddy, if only he had the power...
