Am I the only one that just cracks up at Khan choosing Paulie?

Paulie Malignaggi was a potential opponent for Floyd Mayweather before the Mosley vs Berto bout was cancelled. Paulie is going from a possible fight with Mayweather to a fight with Khan and he's going to be a tough test for Khan imo. If you look at Timothy Bradley's and Devon Alexander's last opponents - Lamont Peterson and Juan Urango, Malignaggi is at least the same level as the both them, and infact probably more tricky to fight then either Urango or Peterson because of his speed and movement.
This isn't the same Malignaggi who fought Hatton, it's a much better version. I agree with Malignaggi when he says McGirt unintentionally made him worse when he was under his tutelage, he's boxing much better lately since he left McGirt.Comment

Everything about Paulie is overrated. He has some good skills and good speed,but these are just good,they arent world class. Paulie is an above average boxer but seems to get far more attention than his talent warrants,and that can probably be put down to his fluorescent personality. If Paulie was a quiet,unassuming kind of fella,then he would get hardly,if any attention.
Paulie's greatest attribute in the ring is his heart,but that and a couple of distance fights with another chronically overrated fighter(Juan Diaz) plus being defeated by every decent fighter you ever fought shouldnt merit you a title shot against a champion who has far more deserving people he should be and needs to be fighting.Comment

True. IMO Paulie is even better then the last opponents Bradley and Alexander fought [Peterson and Urango]. I know that styles make fight but these haters just see the KO ratio of Paulie and think that he forms no threat to Amir. Amir has never fought someone as slick and fast as Paulie so this fight will tell us yet again how complete of a fighter Amir really is.Comment
