Where would have been Paulie Malignaggi with a one punch ko power?

[sebspeed]

I was wondering, Paulie has a good career, but nobody at the top level respect his punching power, what do you think he could have accomplished with a decent punching power?

I mean, you can't take away Paulie's heart and he has a pretty decent chin. Also his speed his better than average and his footwork is great. His biggest downfall is his power.

What yall think?

Well, he would have been even more successful - no doubt about that.

He really had no chance against guys like Hatton, or even a weight-drained Cotto.

power can be a blessing and a curse..he might've not been as successful as he is now..alot of fighters fall in love with their power and neglect their boxing skills chasing a ko

[sebspeed]

Anybody think that with power he could have beaten Khan,Cotto or Hatton? I think he could have ko'ed Juan Diaz in their rematch personally.

I don't think it's that he doesn't have power, I think it's actually his stance, which really depletes any leverage he would have on his shots. I'm guessing that's why he relies on his jab over everything. He rarely throws hooks, right hands, or uppercuts, he just stuffs his jab in your face because his stance is so skewed so it really compliments the jab.

A very good post.

Exactly what I was thinking when I read the title

[Abraham Reyes]

if he still had his speed, boxing skills and power imo he would have been unstoppable...

[Plaster...Sad.]

Greatest of all time. Probably bulking up like Roy Jones, and challenging Chisora.

No doubt.
