Is Paulie a different fighter from 2008

[Idgas]

he definitely seems more motivated than before. i think he could take hatton or at least do a lot better.

Hattons pressure was too much for Malignaggi, no trainer in the world could have helped Malignaggi win that fight.

a lot of feather punchers in this division, apart from hatton maidana and khan, dont get me wrong bradley and malignaggi got skills,

but Diaz please its like watching a poor version of hatton or margarito least with hatton or margarito, u know they are capable of knocking out a lot of opponents.

he can only win if hatton is really really past it.. last time Hatton won every round till paulie quit.

Paulie should fight amir khan, hatton need to stay retired cus aint nothing in fighting a non big name at this stage, only fights for hatton are.. marquez, khan or cotto, the others are not even worth coming back for

One of the main points Paulie stretched at the post fight presser was that in 2008 he ****** because of trainers and his new staff is a lot better and has brought back to what he before then.

I actually kind of believe him. I'm not sure if he'd beat Hatton now, but he'd definitely do a lot better

he is back man, after Cottos beating he wasnt teh same trying to heal his facial surgery and numerous broken hand surgeries.

BUT hes back baby. I wanna see that Paulie vs Hatton also

[johncods]

No.. Hatton would still maul him.. Diaz has no power and no footwork whatsoever he was a walking punching bag for paulie..

Malignaggi is better than he was pre-Mcgirt. Malignaggi has a wider arsenal and much more speed. Mcgirt made him into a slow fighter. This new guy is awesome. Malignaggi beats Hatton 10/10 times now.

Anybody who says Diaz is a punching bag doesn't remember the MArquez fight. Diaz was winning on points in that fight and was pushing Marquez back the whole fight. Diaz is a strong puncher and pretty accurate for his style.

marquez is a tiny lightweight and paulie is a big junior welterweight. diaz was also fighting in his natural weight division. surely you see the difference?

[Silencers]

I think so, he's clearly more mobile now than he was in fights where he was trained by McGirt, not just the Hatton fight but in the Ngoudjo fight and in the N'dou rematch. It wasn't just with Diaz, he looked more mobile in his first comeback fight against Fernandez as well even though he did get hurt in that one he won all the other rounds comfortably.

malignaggi found out the mayweather secret. fighting tiny guys not in your weight class makes you look good. next up marquez!

First time I saw Paul on TV was against Hatton, I thought he was ****. When he blew up the scene about GBP stacking the deck against him in the first Diaz fight I thought "Who cares? He's gonna knock your ass out anyway". Diaz had looked really against JMM for five rounds, and the Paulie that fought Hatton couldnt handle pressure for ****. He proved me and everyone else dead wrong.

Paul looks COMPLETELY different since he got back to boxing. A JMM or Hatton fight would be great.
