So it’s looking like Mayweather vs Malignaggi now.
I actually quite like this fight, i don’t imagine for a moment that Paulie can win, but i think he’ll do ok, and there’s no way Floyd will KO him.
Both are real slicksters, and Paulie is in arguably the best form of his career at the moment, he embarrassed Juan Diaz last month, and was robbed in Texas last Aug in their first fight (worst decision of 2009?)
Floyd will win tho. Paulie is every bit as fast, arguably quicker in fact, but certainly not as accurate, and his brittle hands will always hamper him – far more so than Floyd, who can still **** when he wants to.
The Paulie Malignaggi we saw against Hatton was a shell IMO, he’s a much better boxer than Hatton, I don’t think being trained by Buddy McGirt suited him at all, much like Floyd Snr with Hatton. Since hooking up with Sherif Younan he’s improved tremendously.
This fight will no doubt be seen as the ‘booby’ prize for boxing fans, and indeed i guess it is, we all wanted Manny and Floyd to fight. However, that’s not going to happen – least for now – so in the mean time i see this as being a great match up, competitive even, but the cream will always rise to the top, and therefore if this fight is signed and delivered, i predict a comfortable unanimous decision for Floyd Mayweather.
