      but to say paulie doesn't even have the skill-set i would have to disagree because he's a very skilled boxer in my opinion and if he had any type of power at all i think the guy would be a force , anytime you're that feather fisted and u start fighting the top guys they will all do the same thing , walk right through your punches just to put a punishment on you.

      the guy has to pretty much win on boxing skills and points almost every fight, i mean 6 KO's ?? ..thats brutal..
      yeah he has skills, he satisfies like 90% of the requirements to be a great boxer, just like a human body without kidneys satifies 90% of the requirements to sustain life,,,,,,,, he isnt an a list fighter, and theoretically should never beat one...and hasnt.

            Yuri Foreman, Dimitri Salita

            Those guys are below B list though. They still got undeserved title shots and were exposed when they stepped up.

                    Yea he isn't a A-List fighter agree , but thats what holds Paulie back from being one is what i was saying though , the guy is that weak of a puncher that he just cant compete at that level, but if he did have any sort of power Paulie would be a A-List fighter, any time your opponent comes into the ring already not respecting your punching power they relax a little more and able to stick to their game plan , but if u have a little pop you're tend to back pedal some or even hesitate to throw because of fear of getting one to the jaw or body, Paulie doesn't scare anyone , he just out boxes guys , but he will never be a A class guy with that poor of KO power

                    i do wish he had pop tho' because he's entertaining as hell, and has good skills.

                      He beat Floyd for maybe 3 rounds at best. But yes Cotto had to cheat to get the upper hand.

                      For me Zab is too inconsistent to be listed as an A-list fighter. When I think A-lister I think guys like Froch, Ward, etc...

                      Zab has basically amounted to a really ****ing tough gate keeper.
