    TELL ME !! who is better, Malignaggi or Maidana?

    Resume: Malignaggi
    Speed : Malignaggi
    Power: Maidana
    Lateral Movement: Malignaggi
    Footwork: Malignaggi
    Chin: Malignaggi
    Heart: Equal

    Conclusion: Malignaggi is the better fighter.

    its ****ing obvious that Paulie Malignaggi is a better and more credible fighter then Maidana. yet all them Amir Khan-haters disagree.

    wazaa. I am pretty sure if Pauli and Maidana fought Pauli would get a points win. He is a better boxer and can take a dig. So the simple answere is Pauli is better. But when you put Khan into the equation the situation alters. Despite Pauli being "better" Maidana has the the better chance of beating Khan IMO because I see him landing at some point and KOing Khan. With Pauli there will be no KO with the win on points favoring Khan although Pauli is capable of winning on points also.

      For once, I agree with you. Paulie is a better boxer. I also agree with John Hue that once Khan is in the equation this does change things. Personally, I think that Khan loses to them both. He's not knocking out Paulie so i see a decision loss by Khan on that card. I also think Miadana would knock him out. Khan could perhaps win either a points victory against Paulie (unlikely) or KO Miadana, who's no stranger to the canvas, but in that fight I see him getting tagged in the mid rounds and going down. If he fights paulie, he's going to have to really use his work rate to prevent him from getting in his rhythm - Khan will take the early rounds I think, but I doubt he'll be able to keep it up.

          styles make fights my friend

          Maidana has a style that IMO could be bad for Amir much like how Prescott was. He comes in winging and if you engage in a tradeoff with him you will end up on your ass. With Khan, he may not have the whiskers to withstand that

          Malignaggi does not pose that threat so Khan can be a little reckless if needed

            I think Maidana is considerably better, and he would do better against Khan. The only truly big win for Paulie is over a faded lightweight. Beating Ortiz is a much bigger win.

              Malignaggi is a better boxer, but Maidana is more dangerous purely because of his power.

              Hence, because of Khan's so-called chin issues, Maidana poses more of a challenge. Simple.

                Paulie is good at keeping the distance and his jabs sting you. Madiana has to get in real close to do some damage, Amir will probably be running away with a little puto lol

                    I did not ask who forms a bigger threat to Amir. I asked who was the better fighter out of the two. So you agree its Paulie then.
