didnt see that fight yet but its good paulie took it. i can see him being an opponent for mayweather or pacquiao in the near future cos of his ability to hype up a fight with his mouth. on the flipside, his loss to hatton might be a problem in making a megafight with them but he could say he was drained at 140, plus he was known to have trouble with his old trainer at the time.
Paulie Malignaggi appreciation

I liked the way he bravely finished the Miguel Cotto fight with a swollen jaw.
If you like him, check out a documentary called MAGIC MAN.Comment

Well he wasn't going to KO many at 140 either. I think the idea of him moving up is that he'll be quicker than the bigger men whilst still being able to take their power because of his unusually strong chin.I think a lot of people are unduly harsh on Paulie, he's built up a rep from a few losses, but no one says fair ****s to him for getting back in there, and although a somewhat strange move having the balls to step up a weight in the process, knowing very well he aint likely to KO anyone.
That ref was bent imo, Cortez-esque, he was never going to allow a Kats win.On the other hand Ian Darke and Jim Watt were on form in the Guerrero Katsidis fight talking about the ref - Jim Watt saying "I've not seen much of this referee, and hope to not see much of him again in the future"
