good to see a fighter take responsibility for a loss the way they should
dibella told paulie it would be all over if he lost the khan fight, the welterweight division is drying up slowly so now would be the time to capitalize on that for paulieComment

A move to Europe and to the welterweight division would be great for Paulie. Lots of competition out there and maybe this move up would give him a little more strength in his legs.Comment

Nobody knows who he is in europe. It's simply not true that he would get a lot of support here.Comment

Europe only treated Paulie fairly because he fought with alot of heart vs. Ricky Hatton. Personally, I don't really like Paulie, his fighting is a boring style and he has no power and I was happy to see Khan beat him up. There was a bigger upside to having Khan win with bigger, tough tests ahead for Khan. But, be that as it may, I think Paulie should retire. He got beat up badly and even though I don't like the guy as a fighter, he still has his faculties left and could become even a decent commentator. If he keeps fighting and fights a big punching welterweight, he may end up seriously hurt. I mean, can you imagine him fighting Margarito, even without plaster in his hands....???? OUCH!Comment
