Is it just me or is Paulie...

[Porter's Dad]

He's a good fighter who had a very bad day.

What do you call 3 bad days in a row?

[Burner]

Hes clearly the second best 140 pounder in the world as of now....thats not that bad.

Hes clearly the second best 140 pounder in the world as of now....thats not that bad.

WHY should he be ranked over Bradley, Holt, Kotelnik or even Witter. His last 3 fights were horrible.

[COACH WEBB]

His problem is lack of POP... he is slick and fast... But his power is so minimal..That some fighters can and will walk right through him..

that is his limitation..

I agree wit this and to the those who say that we are disrespecting fighters, that is not it..we are fans and from a fan's standpoint we can voice how we feel about fighters..isn't that what discussions are for? If we all agreed all the time, then how interesting of a boxing forum would this be?

I dont rank him there Tony J..I feel you. I think Holt and Witter would dispose of him easy...

[S A M U R A I]

..not a very good fighter? Its like he gets these fights and he sells out about what he is going to do to an opponent, then when he gets in the ring, he is VERY limited. Someone help me out here....

Paulie is crap. Did you only just realize?

He has a chin. That's it.

He isnt a bad fighter, its just he's not on the level of Hatton and Cotto. When ever he steps up to the top class fighters of his division, it becomes apparent that he doesnt belong there.

I agree with this statement.

Paulie is a very talented guy especially considering he ends up having to fight one handed...

look at him vs ndou in their first fight...paulie owned him and the crowd...probably his best performance in a victory...

It just seems like when he gets more interest from the fans and more people are watching he folds...

cotto beat him pretty bad...hatton had his way with him for the most part...

but those are guys who have made the p4p list...

im not ready to sleep on paulie personally. i think he makes the best out of what he has on his side; speed, his jab; heart; etc.


I dont think paulie will ever be in a big PPV fight...nor do i think he'll ever been even considered for the top 25 of the sport but i give him credit...he has a brittle right hand but somehow manages to win fights...

No, Ive known that..but I dont see how he has been getting these big fights. SO I wanted to ask everyone did I miss something about him...

Here is one of my OLD threads on this subject...

The thing that makes him limited is his power.

If he even had just a little bit of pop in his punches he could do something.

He is fast, can box, but lacks power to keep these guys off of him.
If he had some sort of pop he would be able to move forward and use his speed and combinations. But at the elite level he cant hurt them for the most part.

His jab looked good against Hatton early, and his right hand was decent. He even landed a few check left hooks, but Hatton was not even phased by them, and he was able to walk through them to Paulie.

If Paulie had any power, Hatton wouldnt be able to just walk in with wreckless abandon, and the fight would have been different.

Hatton would have still won, but it wold have been a bi more competitive.

I'd call it a pattern indicating a highly overrated fighter.
