Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Plans a "Reality Check" For "Arrogant" Khan

[pelonxsoldier28]

say what you want about paulie, but he does have a sold chin and excellent skill, that alone will get him the win.

Pillow fists vs glass chin. Who wins?

funny, I was thinking the same thing, even thou he has a glass chin Paulie doesnt have the power to KOing him out, just plain embarrasing....

Paulie is like the kid that talks a big game to a girl - how he's going to do this, that and the other - and ends up ejaculating in 35 seconds (and still carries on talking the big game).


The reality

Mallignaggi is over-rated. His accomplishments came from getting his jaw broken by Cotto and showing heart for surviving for as long as he did.

Khan is bigger, significantly (IMO) faster, hits much much harder and had genuine KO power.

Paulie can talk as though he's the favourite but in reality everytime he has been on the big stage (Diaz, Hatton, Cotto) he has lost.

Saturday night will be exactly the same. I just hope he has the humility after the fight to show some sportsmanship towards Khan (who in reality isn't that arrogant and is being held to ransom on comments he made a really long time ago)

khans career so far way outshines that of malinaggis already olympic silver barrera kotlenik salita over 3 losses diaz hatton cotto only win was 2nd fight v diaz and only reason ppl thought he won the first fight cause ti was very very close was the dodgey judge who ad it 118 110 so his only real win was diaz who was never a world class fighter anyway khan is 23 got 10/15 years in the sport a head of him and is a world champ he will get to a very high level malinaggi gona get smacked all round the ring come sat

paulies wins are not over anyone to brag about,and hes looked messy in fights too.

i wudnt expect paulie to beat kotelnik that fought khan that night,or a faded cut up barrera or prescott.

i think paulie will be in for a shock if he really thinks khans speed and power is over rated,i think actually khan boxes better,has better combinations,higher punch output and just as good movement with a better defence.

paulie should learn to talk less and not look so ****** after he **** talks and loses.

Get the **** out of here. You really think that win over Barrera means something? He fought an over-the-hill Barrera...waaaaay passed his prime. I think I just **** in my pants.

"You have to know the best time to have these big fights in your career. If you look at Oscar De La Hoya, he fought all the best fighters when they were on the way downhill, and not at their best. I want to catch these guys when they have come off their peak. But I have to be careful because there might be a younger version of me coming up who wants to do exactly the same to me."

Actually he beat Diaz both times....if you watched the first Diaz fight,it is pretty tough to say that Diaz won that one. His only legit,clear losses came against Cotto and Hatton... both guys were supposed to stop him,but couldn't-both of those guys are leagues above Khan in their primes.
Paulie has decent handspeed,boxing skills and is tough as hell,but he cannot break an egg.
He will make a competitive fight.

Paulie KO 1 ...

[sunny31]

This has become quite an intriguing fight, both guys have put themselves on the line with the things they have said in the press, especially paulie, khan has talked some too, and it was freddie who predicted the 3rd round stoppage (which might put khan under pressure). Something has to give! both guys are in good form coming off good wins, are confident of winning, haven't given themselves any real excuses if they were to lose, paulie says he is better than ever and I believe him. I think this is the first time khan has fought in genuine world class (kotelnik is fringe world class) so lets see what happens.
