Paulie overrated?

[ßringer]

I've never liked the guy, I'm not drawn to his personality, or his style of fighting. He's an overly ****y, featherfisted, lip-puckering Italian kid who thinks he's a lot better than he really is. He got famous for getting his ass mauled by Cotto, and I'll give him credit for taking the beating.

But I can't say I wasn't cheering for Ngoudjo last night when he was teeing off on Paulie in the middle rounds. It looked like Paulie was going to go down for sure, so he gets credit for taking the beating again. But he's like a boxing version of Gatti, better boxing skills and takes the beating like a man. For the record I've never liked Gatti either.

I hope Hatton wrecks him in Cotto-like fashion.

Also, tell me I'm not the only one who is annoyed when you see him fight and the front row is packed with carbon-copy looking Italian kids with puckered lips, lipgloss and s***** gel hairdos?

Unless you are Floyd Mayweather then all yanks are overrated.

enzo maccarenelli?


hell, I think kessler is overrated. how about that?

[CottoOverrated1]

Certain posters on here seem to think the guy has achieved something.....
And that he would beat the recognised 140 champ yet he struggled with Ngoudjo and his best win is over a 36 yr old N'dou..
He also gets praised for having his face smashed in against a weight drained Cotto...
The boy has heart but I don't think he is strong enough to be the best at 140.

maybe not, but he deserves the chance to do it. wow, some of you guys are brutal.

Are you hatting on his fans now too?

[Scott9945]

I dont see how he is overrated. He is what he is. Who said he was one the best pure boxers out there these days??

The NY media hype did.

Pretty much, it's all I got until the ****er loses.

He's a good boxer, but I find him boring...I think Hatton beats him up pretty easy. He's lucky that their isn't much talent at 140 right now.

He's definitely benefitting from a weak division.

Here's a guy who's biggest acomplishment is gettin woop by Cotto, had a draw in my book against Ngoudjo and yet ppl see him as one of the best pure boxers today, is he overrated?

Yes, Malignaggi is about 1/2 notch above the 20 guys behind him.

He could lose at any point. At any point.
