What did Malignaggi say what will happen with the Pacquiao vs Hatton fight. The same thing. Hatton will beat Pacquiao. Wrong Outcome! You will be wrong again. "Pacquiao will beat Cotto."

Here is the flaw in Paulie's analysis:
He has not had the exposure to other top quality fighters to really be able to gauge how badass (or not) Miguel is. Paulie is comparing to guys like N'Dou and Ngoudjo. If Paulie has sparred or fought the top 135ers or 140ers or even some really good 147ers, then he would have a deeper frame of reference.
I would trust Zab's opinion (if honest) because he has been with Clottey, Floyd, Cotto, Tszyu, Baldomir, Spinks, etc. That is a pretty deep pool of guys in different weight classes with different strengths, power, speed and skills.
Manny just isn't as small as everyone seems locked in to. For some reason, people can't get it out of their heads that the guy started at 106. But Pac was 16 years old. At 16, all of these guys were that size. At 16, Floyd won the national Golden Gloves at 106 lbs.
People MUST start looking at that phase of Manny's career as his "amateur bouts". Only, the PI doesn't have a deep amateur culture, so guys go pro mad young. Like Mexico.
Manny isn't tiny. At all. Pac was weighing 144 on fight night as far back as the Barrera fight. He is a fully -filled in JWW...and has been for a long time. He was just drying to make SFW. Roach admitted that they were having weight problems at SFW.Comment

Paulie has been documented before the hatton-pacuqio fight saying Pacuqio by knockout. Get your facts straight.Comment

The same reason that he is one of my favourite fighters.
Even though he is confident and a bit arrogant, he is candid, and you feel that he is telling you the truth. In addition to that, he is very animated when he talks.
He has a New York accent, and he talks like a young guy, but not in that annoying ****** way (Yes, Zab, I'm looking in YOUR direction).
Paulie just reminds me of the guys that I went to school with, and hung out at Home and Marquee.
When Paulie calls it quits he should become a broadcastor be excellent at it.Comment
