    Is Paulie the Taking Gatti's Place?

    Atlantic City Seems To Love Paulie. He's Italian & is pretty good at taking some punishment like a man and still show heart & will. Definitely not as much of a knocker as Gatti, but he's bringing some sort of excitement to some of Gatti's old fans. Problem is Paulie needs to make these next few years really good years for him because Gatti at least had a punchers chance towards the end of his career. What do ya'll think?

    Katsidis should make his home in AC...if there's anyone who can take Gatti's place it's definitely him, not Paulie, sorry don't see it.

        your correct as far as style, but can you not say both are exciting, take a decent amount of punishment in ring, have a good heart/chin, and are adored by AC fans?

                I think you're reaching ridiculous to even mention Gatti and Malignaggi together. Paulie Malignaggi is not a fighter who gets people excited. Basically, his only gimmick is that he's Italian (White). Gatti earned his fanbase the hard way. It's an insult to compare Arturo to this guy.

                  No. He might keep the fans, but he'll treat 'em better if he stays focused.
