I guess he might be a live underdog but without the power to test Khan's chin he is still an underdog.
Paulie Malignaggi is a LIVE underdog.

I do think that this fight is more competitive then most people are making it out to be but I definitely see Amir beating Paulie in an impressive fashion. Paulie can make this fight ugly by clinching everytime Amir connects though.
I wouldnt really call Paulie a masterfull boxer. Yes, he has great lateral movement, footwork and a fast jab but he gets hit often by slow fighters like Cotto just imagine how easy Amir will hit him with his speed and accuracy.
I think Amir will put the pressure on Paulie and be more offensive in this fight. I'm predicting a points victory for Amir. If Amir stops Paulie, I will be amazed.Comment

50-50 my ass. Malignaggi is getting dominated in this fight. Malignaggi looked good against Diaz and his fans are acting like this constitutes some kind of career-defining win. Which I guess it does since his previous best victim was Lovemore N'Dou. But Diaz was/is a one-dimensional come-forward fighter with no power, slow footwork and did I mention he's a lightweight? Khan is a big strong 140 lb'er, he hits way harder than PM, he's just as quick and he's more intelligent- with a better defence. Paulie's defence is average. You'll see a great performance from Khan May 15.Comment

I have been hearing a lot of ****** people saying how Paulie is feather fisted and will lose to Khan.
One thing that they forget is that Paulie is FAST, SLICK, TOUGH AND INTELLIGENT. Amir has never fought someone like Paulie before. Paulie just beat Juan Diaz twice! and lasted 12 rounds with Cotto.
Also, I have been hearing a lot about Amir having a lot of fun during this training camp. He is going to Vancouver on Friday till Monday (for "work related" reasons). I don't know what that means but when you have a tough fight coming up, you don't travel to another country.... While Amir is doing all this, I'm sure Paulie is doing his homework watching tapes at home.
This is a 50-50 fight.Comment

Anyways, to the dumb people who keep on saying Paule is **** and what not. Paulie is back to being the old Paulie ever since he teamed up with Sherif Younan. The only person that beat Paulie in my eyes is Cotto and Cotto is a dangerous puncher. Paulie lasted 12 rounds with him and fought Cotto with a broken jaw! He passed out when he went back to his dressing room. So, I do not see Paulie getting KO'd. IF Amir KO's Paulie, then all you idiots have to re-asses Amir's position in the P4P rankings because Amir has speed, power, skills AND heart. Amir is the new P4P KING.Comment
