    Get real, guys.



    It isn't 'sudden' at all. Last night was the best shape Paulie had been in a while, but that's because Paulie had gradually fallen so far down through a combination of poor trainer matchup and hand issues -- and let's not discount the physical repercussions of a damaging fight with Miguel Cotto possibly catching up to him on top of all that -- the only way really was up, and any gradual, incremental improvements made with Sherif through 2009, the Diaz fights and up to last night would seem significant.


    Again, Paulie was coming off a win against a smaller, war-torn guy who was kinda blown-up at lightweight as it was, in what was to all intents and purposes a jr. welter fight.

    He's badly faded from the fighter he was 3, 4 years ago, and I expressed these reservations before the fight, even as a fan, because I've been watching Paulie for years, and I know when he's at his best. His heart was as strong as ever last night, but he was missing small nuances and increments that were once there and which make a HUGE difference in his performance.

      Look I respect your oppinion and all but Paulie Malignaggi was in his prime, if anything he has looked much better since he ditched Buddy McGirt as his trainer and he looked very much in his prime against Diaz. But whatever I'm not going to waste anymore time with you because it is obvious that you won't give Khan any credit and will just keep on making excuses as to why Malignaggi lost.

        I think Maidana is dangerous for a few rounds but can be outboxed quite easily by a good operator like Khan. Bradley is the best in the division and I think Khan needs some more fights before he goes near Bradley.

          No matter how you twist it or turn it. Paulie Malignaggi's win('s) over Juan Diaz was his best win in his entire career and his career highlight.

            1. Paulie was in the best shape ever, after coming of his BEST win.

            2. Khan had so many distractions mainly the visa issue, I dont care what any1 says it does affect you.

            Khan will beat both alexander and bradley, his jab is one of the best I've seen in a long time. Bring on Maidana

                No, he really wasn't. His performance peak is now a few years past.

                I agree, he looked better. Not "much better", which I take to mean near fully restored to his old lustre, which he wasn't.

                No, he didn't, not to the observant. Those performances were against a smaller, war-torn guy who was kinda blown-up at lightweight as it was, in what was to all intents and purposes a jr. welter fight.




                I'm not giving credit? Bawwwww.

                How come you aren't challenging the guy talking about "American hypejobs", when those hypejobs have been taking on greater challenges than Khan? I'm talking difficulty level here.

                I give Team Khan's selection of opposition the credit it deserves, and Bradley's accomplishments >>>>>>>>>> Khan's at this stage.

                  Mate, breidis fight as WW in the undercard, you think KHAN ever has a chance to redeem himself against him?

                    STFU, you don't even know Paul's career.


                    His best win (ie. most accomplished and coming against a big 140lber) is Lovemore N'Dou in 2007.

                    His best career performance came in defeat, in 2006, in a close fight with Miguel Cotto, that left him severely beaten and nursing nerve damage.

                    His best win in your eyes is against a smaller, war-torn guy who was kinda blown-up at lightweight as it was, in what was to all intents and purposes a jr. welter fight.


                    You really have no clue what you're talking about.
