        No offense man, but you gotta offer me a better argument than that. I'm open to criticism and being proved wrong but there is no weight in that statement.

          What I am effectively saying is that Mayweather is on a completely different level to Malignaggi. Mayweather has fought and beaten some of the best fighters of his generation. Malignaggi has went in against quality opposition once and while he showed alot of heart he showed little else to suggest that he could compete on that level.

              i have no problems with paulie. hes developed a very fan-friendly style, he boxes beautifully and now hes starting to sit more on his punches. i think that he has a perfect future for the 140's for another 5 years and he should focus on that.

              paulie could be the MAN if he chooses too and stays @ 140. stay away from the cotto's and hatton's for a good 5 years.

              dude's got a ton of personality, can sell fights with the best of them and has a good style.

                He hasn't done much yet. From what I have seen Malignaggi's career highlights are:
                Battered by Cotto
                Beat average fighter to win IBF light-welterweight title
                Talked alot of ****

                  I understand all of that. I guess the way that I was comparing them was more in the similarities in their styles of fighting. I was too vague in my point and I kinda figured you would bring up those points stated above as a result of that ambiguity. You can't argue that Malignaggi's resume holds no weight to Mayweather's but you also can't argue that stylistically they are very similar in their approach to the sport.

                    Maybe they are similar but against Cotto I saw Malignaggi get hit more times than Mayweather has in his entire career.

                      Mag is a smaller Zag the only difference Mag will fight anybody, had he had a Zag mentality he wouldnt have fougth Cotto so early and would probley beat him when they met... The dude can box period he does lack power but he can box and thats the name of the sport boxing!
