    Khan has the tangible advantages (speed, power) but Paulie has the intangibles (toughness both mental and physical, experience). If I recall as the Cotto fight went on he started hitting and grabbing and doing some inside work, making it a rough fight if he does that it could make Khan uncomfortable in addition to the fact that I've never seen any inside game from Khan. Paulie also has the hometown crowd behind him and I've never seen him up more a fight.

    I do like Khan to outwork him but I won't be shocked if Paulie pulls it off.

I think Malignaggi is still the better man in footwork and ring generalship and probably even handspeed. Khan has the upper hand in power & aggressiveness in this particular fight.
        He showed his footwork in the Kotelnik, Barrera and Salita fights, basically the fights after he got together with Roach. He has some quick feet which allows him to dart in and out and side to side very quickly.

          Only thing i would add to that is.....Khan has a better strategist in his corner (Roach)who will even up the odds when its comes Khan's inexperience vs Malignaggi's experience, i think Khan hangs on Roach's every word and carries it out to the letter, Roach knows whats going to be the most effective fight to minimize Paulie's.

            Khan will murder Malignaggi!

            Seriously,I hope Paulies family know a good mortician in NYC! Khan message to Malignaggi:



            Will be so exciting to watch Malignaggi face made into Salami pizza for free on ITV1!

            Trust me this British Boy Khan will smash Malignaggis Skull!

              I'm skipping out on this card hoping it will bomb in TV ratings. Ortiz and Khan are making more money than guys like Alexander and Bradley are, and that's not right. I hope one day HBO gets the point and understands we want fighters and not pretty boys. No disrespect to Sergio Martinez.

                True, but if Khan starts to get uncomfortable that gameplan might start to slip away.

                I think Khan should look good early on but Paulie's going to have to turn the tide which I think is a possibility. If he doesn't then it will be a long night for him.
