    I hope people don't sleep on this fight. I think it has the makings of a war. Since Amir will be trying to avenge his camp and take out Paulie. You know Paulie will like nothing more but to knock off Amir and talk more trash about the wild card gym. This will be a huge feather in the cap of whoever wins. Which is why I expect to see all the stops pulled out.

        Hell no, that's why I said Paulie will probably pull out the upset victory. It's crazy that people think he's a bum just because he doesn't have crazy KO power. That just means he has to rely more on skills than his power. If he ever develops some power he will be dangerous.

          And paulie is? lol

          Keep underrating him....Why would roach take him on if he thought he was nothing special

          Amirs gonna get better, im not saying hes going to be the elite at this level...because i personally dont think he would be able to beat the skillful power punchers....but i do think he can make himself a gate guardian and possibly beat the top fighters if his game in the ring goes to plan

          Especially improving that defense

            even if he did, he'd still have to be able to take punches. Pacquiao is fast and powerful but he can take a shot too, I think that's why some are still dubious of Khan. That's why I question whether he's built for war (so to speak).

            Paulie's at least shown he can take a beating from the best and stay standing. He also beat a pretty aggressive fighter in Diaz.

            I'm not underrating him, I just need to see a convincing performance against a top opponent, I'm looking forward to this fight.

              Paulie has no chance, he is not even that good a boxer, he look poor against Ngoudjo who Urango beat easily and he won his title from a guy with 8 losses at the time if i recall.

              For all Khan's faults what makes up for them are his Boxing skills/height/reach, he will dominate Malignaggi.

                Urango beat him easily because Urango is a beast with unreal power in both hands. Khan doesn't have that type of power.

                  the KO of Salita wasn't shabby, I'd be very surprised if he can do that to Paulie however.

                    Everybody is overrated and underrated. It just depends on who is doing the rating.

                      Great skills, but yes, WAY overrated - beating Marco Antonio is not a bragging right...he fights Marcos he gets beat...Khan is not Pac, hope he gets that...
