The "Magic Man" is a free agent....

[Evil Abed]

Hes a small guy.

Get a nutrionist.

He has no future at 140.

[Amazinger]

Paulie Malignaggi buys out his contract ($75K) to be a free agent....he said that he wouldn't mind going over and checking out the European scene....targets Matt Hatton.....wow really Paulie....does the rest of the 140lbs division have you shook like that?

Errrr who is he?....

Why all the Paulie hate? I for one respect the guy and realize he was just dealt a bad hand in life; that being his hands. Which adds to why he pulls his punches since early in his career. I grew up around Paulie seeing him at starret city and gleasons. His talk is similar to Floyd in that he talks smack but onthe daily I never saw him be a jerk/******* or anything like that. I respect him and what he's done with what he could. I think he's a great boxer and a great person. Never once have I seen him be a jerk at the gym. It's all stage talk. Let him finish off his career in peace. Much respects to Paulie.

Paulie should go down to 135.

Marquez-Malignaggi could be fun-Will never happen.

He'd give Katsidis fits.

i dont think he can make 135.... if that was the case he would of been down there long time ago.... he was in with the big boys @ 140...

No hate....but it is what it is.....he either stays at 140lbs and becomes the "stepping stone".....drains himself to down to 135lbs....or gets obliterated by the elites at 147lbs......or go to Europe and retire nicely with some recognition.

Yeah he deserves to finish his career in peace. All heart. Much respects

[Hi-Dro]

Dude is an idiot. Always talking ****, but can't back it up.

****ing C-level fighter should've retired instead of fighting. He's not fighting at 140 in the US because he knows all the top guys would beat his ass.

Do you see him beating any of the top guys? Nope.

great post man...

u poured out my thoughts

Floyd also had hand problems until he got help and found a solution to the problem.

The problem I have with Paulie is he's always talking **** and can never back it up. I don't have a problem with a fighter talking **** if he can back it up. Every time he stepped up against good quality opponents, he got his ass beat.

I don't see him making 135.

He's not good enough for 140 and 147.

He really has no weight class because he's just not that good. He's only going to be a stepping stone for the young guys like Nate Campbell is doing right now and he's going to be a stepping stone in the UK for the young talent in the UK.

I'll give him credit for not taking his beating like a man.

Paulie is too big for that.

[gratz_the_king]

so will we ever see him again? on hbo? or will he compile a record of 35-0 against euro bums for the remainder of his career?

he should have atleast fought campbell...that was a winnable fight for him
