Comments Thread For: Paulie Malignaggi?s Picks: George Foreman?s comeback will never be surpassed

[Oregonian]

Foreman's record will be surpassed in terms of magnitude, only by the absolute primitive butt f.. ckings received by Paulie Malignaggi at the hands of Miguel Cotto and Shawn Porter

———-
What a world we live in. We got guys like Tank and Canelo cherry-picking their way into the HoF while collecting multimillion dollar paydays while a blue collar fighter like Malignaggi taking on all the smoke, winning some and losing some yet he gets ridiculed.

Malignaggi could have done the same thing Canelo and Tank are doing but he didn’t. That is a gallant fighter.

In terms of comebacks I think Sugar Ray Leonard rivals it. But they're pretty different.

Paulie is still wearing a large tampon because of what Cotto and Porter did to him. He'll have to wear one for the rest of his days. And nights...
He also sucks his thumb now to redirect the blood away from dripping outta his ass

Sure, Porter beat Paulie with a punch from the Gods then ducked the rematch, but Paulie beat Cotto with invisible, unseen work, but it happened. Nash out - His Most Majestic Majesty

Nelo 5'7", started career at age 15
PM 5' 8", started career at age 20

To say Nelo had a cakewalk of a career would be false, since he has fought in many div's, often being the smaller guy.
Trout
Lara
May
Kov
Plant
BHS
Cotto
GGG
Jacobs
Biv
And a few mid level guys

Try and match this resume with any active fighter.
Yes, Scull and Charla....fights no one wanted to see.
Berlanga and Munguia =/> Andrade and Morrell (No one complains about Benny, for some reason)

Foreman has two separate careers. Dude came back 10 years after he finished his prime career.

And he was one of the bosses in 90s. That tells a lot about 90s hw scene.

Whenever I call out Canelo for his glorious cherry-picks, I don’t leave out one fact - that he is an ATG. I acknowledge that.

What is also true is that Canelo has outrightly ducked Benny for the last three years.
Munguia, Charlo, Berlanga, Ryder, Scull are all below Benny in ranking at 168 and name recognition yet Canelo fights them.

Canelo is on record that he will only fight Benny for $150 million. What does that tell you? He is willing to fight the five names for about $40 million each but for Benny, he wants $150 million.

There is no shame in admitting that he can’t beat Benny but the myriad of BS excuses are hilarious. He even says he will not fight a Mexican only to go fight Munguia in his next fight. He is fighting Bud next.

Canelo is an ATG with a great resume. He is also a cherry picker and has ducked Benny. Those two statements are true.

Benny has one of the worst resumes in the sport.
Not sure why his name has any clout.
1 maybe 2 credible wins and one is a Nelo castoff.
Rankings be damned

That said....
Benny > Scull by miles
Berlanga, Ryder and Munguia = Better than most of Benny's opps.

I am criticizing Canelo’s opponents so you can either agree that those 5 names were cherry-picks or not. Your response to that is to criticize Benny’s resume.

Every boxing analyst and most boxing fans are in agreement that Canelo is ducking Benny while fighting mediocre guys. Your response to that is to say that those guys are better than Benny’s opponents. This is a hilarious (not) response.
