Malignaggi isnt going anywhere, why couldnt he dominate a much smaller brawler?

[TheMelvern]

diaz was giving marquez #2p4p boxer in the world a hard time what makes you think malignaggi would have dominated? plus hes featherfisted

I said it all in my first post bro.

If Paulie had power to go wit speed n skill, Juan woulda been in deep ****. I thought Paul's lack of pop would get him run over, but Paul showed he could handle him. It was a good fight, and Paul don't have to dominate to win, tho in his situation, it woulda helped. I still thought he deserved the call.

Im not trying to degrade Juan Diaz because if this fight was at 135 against some one his own size, I would have him winning, diaz is a really good fighter. From the get go I had Malignaggi winning because I dont know if any one has noticed but there is a big size difference between them, Diaz is a good fighter but he is a 25 year old brawler that has been in with people his size since he became champion. He doesent have the ring IQ to take care of a good boxer that has size and reach on him and IMO he hasnt really been tested with boxers. So my thing is that I actually thought Malignaggi was going to dominate Diaz to a decision because of his boxing but he didnt do anything in the big in the fight to impress me and fought a closely contested fight with a brawler moving up from 135. I had the fight 115-113 for Maligg, Diaz landed some good punches and making Paulie miss alot of his soft punches and applying the pressure but Paulie was boxing good. The Magic Man will get worked really good by the top 140 pounders, sorry Paulie but if you havent mastered your boxing skills, you would have to rely on power to make something happen, power that you dont have. As for Juan Diaz, he needs to stay at 135 because he can make some great fights there and beat alot of fighters. Diaz is only 25 and has already gotten all of this experience from fighting world class opponents, I can only imagine what he will be able to do at say age 28 or 29 with all of this early experience. Thanks to both fighters for providing me and friends an entertaining Saturday night, even though I lost 20 bucks

true paulie's failure to dominate a 135 lber means he isn't that good... but that doesn't make paulie getting jobbed fair.

I love Diaz, but I don't really want to see him in the with any slick fighters Black, white or whatever. His foot work is not that good. He is a typical Mexican fighter. They just want to fight and typically not very good at chasing opponents.

But anyway I love watching Diaz fight. Nate stood in front of him but Diaz got his ass whopped. He is never going to look good against slick fighters. Besides he should be fighting at 130lbs. He as no pop in his punches above 130lbs.

Match making should be easy for Diaz handlers. Put Diaz in against fighters period. I'm out.
