Comments Thread For: Lou DiBella Hints That Paulie Malignaggi Might Be Done

[Boss Don]

I don't want to see Paulie quit but he never will be at that top level so I understand why he would want to

But maybe one more fight with Victor Ortiz I think Paulie can win that fight and if he does he will be right back in the mix.............kinda

[Hayehammer]

I gotta give it up for Paulie. He fought hard and lost to Cotto and fought hard and lost to Khan. The man is all heart.

MAn paulie has the heart of a lion! Good luck to him whatever he does

Im not sure i favour Vicious in that match-up, not saying that Paulie has no chance but i think Victor Ortiz looked the goods on saturday, unlike Paulie.
I like Malignaggi i think he is a great boxer and he can be proud of who he has shared the ring with aswell as the way he has carried himself throughout his career.

However i would simply rather see him call it quits as opposed to lose again.

paulie just cant compete at this level anymore as he gets up in age, he couldnt even pull the trigger saturday, it was almost like hes showing that hes aged, hes getting hit now more than ever and doesnt have the power to gain ANYONES respect.

it might be that time. he talked about this back in 2005 when he had hand problems, now it might be time to make it a reality, he cant compete with the best of the division and moving up might be a nightmare

paulie is solid feather fisted..........loud mouth.............respect if he retires.......

[CaRnAgEViOLaToR]

Always been a big fan of Paulie...very very good and quick boxer.

[NECK SNAPPER]

He can still complete just under the elite fighters

[BetterCallSaul]

I think Paulie should fight the Diaz - Marquez 2 winner. It would be a good last payday if he lost, but if he won, he could make one last attempt to win a world title.

Yeah your right I would favor Victor in that fight to but I just don't want Paulie to retire like that maybe he should fight Nate Campbell or just somebody but Paulie can't go out like that the way the fight was stopped and in his hometown I just felt so bad for him and I just don't want him to go out like that

Paulie's the man 'nough said, was just dealt some badcards. One of my favorite boxers for sure.

Malignaggi has nothing to be ashamed of. Despite having zero knock out power he had a prett good career and got several nice pay days. Enjoy you next chapter in life.

i enjoy watching his fights. still he's a good boxer

Paulie is a fighter that all boxing fans should admire....I mean the way he stood in there with Cotto and the way he spoke after Buddy waived the flag in the Hatton fight on how he HATED being stopped.....you can tell thats how Paulie is built, the dude might talk mad **** but he has the toughness to back that **** up....he might not have the POWER to match his words but he is a lil tough mofo tho'.....I got mad respect for Paulie....mad respect!!!

Paulie you were a GREAT boxer.
You never quit.
You always entertained.
You were a World Champion.
You didn't have a knockout rating like Hagler or Valero, but you gave us some great fights. Hold your head up high champ. We will miss you.

I wish him luck with whatever he does. Always enjoyed watching.

Righteous, awesome posts.

Dibella said "Pauly showed he's got balls the size of basketballs" This must be why his footwork was a little off, and why he wasn't circling like Ledderman stated.

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed, I was watching on UK ITV, so no Lederman, but I was literally imploring him to "circle around, Paulie, circle the hell around".

Again, glad I'm not the only one who noticed. A bunch of people have cited him coming off the win over Diaz as some kind of evidence that this was anything like a peak Malignaggi, some even claiming Diaz as his best win, totally ignoring that Diaz himself is battle-worn, smaller than Paul (somewhat blown-up even at lightweight, never mind practically Jr.Welter, where they fought). Paul did well just to have some success in the early rounds and hang in there with Khan, who simply couldn't put him away.

Paulie's best move would be to train for the camera and become a ringside commentator or analyst.

he could be gold as a live fight commentator.

I'd thought this, too.
