What does beating Khan do for Malignaggi's legacy?

True, i believe that Paulie will become a two time world champion. And thus, solidly putting himself as a top dawg in a division. But, i highly doubt he is winning against Khan. The man's work rate is astounding, and i have a big feeling Bradley is going to be facing another world champion at the end of this year.

didn't the Diaz win already put him in that space?



I was talking about from Paulie's perspective. I agree with you from Khan's perspective, the fight makes a lot of sense.

Maybe the Diaz took him some (or even most?) of the way there, but were Paulie to outclass Khan, a young hungry guy with alot of potential, I gotta' think he'd have a better claim to that 'space'. He's not gonna win by KO, so he's gonna' have to beat this speedy kid by wit and skill.

This is a great fight and opportunity for Paulie M, Because if he beats Khan he would have a belt, He would have beaten a well-hype prospect who is tipped for greater things, He would have beaten a name fighter and his future earning and opportunity would grow further, Just like his win over Juan diaz in the rematch propell him into getting a fight with Khan.
