Paulie's style works against smaller fighters, you can't just let your hands down against Khan as if he was a small pressure fighter like Diaz. Khan was just too good, Malignaggi's defense is lacking but he has excellent reflexes, he should learn about defense with the mayweathers.
I have always stated that Malignaggi isn't slick

Yep-Yep.... just rewatched the fight and it was after the 2nd round Roach told him to feint more and then Paulie would use his lead and duck down, then after the 4th I believe he told him to keep going to the body (and then throughout said keep going from the head to the body).
I thought it was funny in Paulies post fight interview when he told Max "It kinda seemed like I ran into a clone of myself, except he was stronger, faster and hits harder." Well then Paulie, he [Kahn] can't be a clone of you if he was better than the original you. LOL. He just simply outclassed you Paulie.
Even with that said, I believe Kahn still has A LOT of things to learn, defense being a big part. He is VERY hittable right now. I believe if he would have been fighting Alexander last night that there could have been a descent chance he could've gotten knocked out by Alexander. And Maidana skills are under rated, and he has a huge punch and a HUGE heart! Even after having been put down several times by Ortiz, Maidona still came back and beat the ever livin cow pie out of Ortiz. Heart is my favorite feature in a boxer, I know that sounds a little corny but without it, the sweet science means nothing when the hand meats the face.
Roach and Kahn work well together though, and Kahn seems to adapt to what Roach is teaching him. I think he will improve greatly through more training with Roach, however, I hope it's before he takes on any of the top 3 fighter mentioned by Kahn as next opponentsComment

I never thought he was slick because he gets hit too much but he can make a fight ugly with his foot movement and his style.Comment

He's a fake slick fighter, and and fake good boxer.
He looks slick, flashy, and like he can box, but hes pretty basic.
It's funny how quickly people forgot he hasnt beat anyone expect a over-weight Juan Diaz. And that he got a gift decision against Njoudjo.Comment

he was just trying to use his speed all night to get out khan's range then come back in an then get back out, an what ****** is when he realized that wasn't going to work because of khan's speed he had no plan b an wasn't even putting his hands up to block punches.Comment
