      Malignaggi has an iron chin. We've seen it against Cotto, Hatton, and Khan. Yeah, Khan and Hatton stopped him but they were ref/corner stoppages. He has never been stopped cold and is rarely knocked down. He has the legs and the jab to outbox Maidana. Actually he has the tools to outbox anyone. His problem is, and basically his downfall, is his injured right hand. Which basically took away all of his power and gets worse and worse as he gets older. Like Mayweather and Calzaghe's hand injuries, Mayweather only has 4KO's above 130. You'll never see Mayweather knocking some one out with his right hand at this point of his career. He stopped Hatton with his left hooks. Calzaghe couldn't really knock top fighters out cold and when he got stoppages was with work rate like for example Peter Manfredo Jr.

      So in short, Malignaggi doesn't have the power to keep Maidana away from him. Malignaggi's hand problems is worse than Mayweather's and Calzaghe's put together. But the guy has a lot of skills, with a little bit more power, Malignaggi could have possibly still been undefeated.
