Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Targets Maidana: I'm Ready For Him at 147!

[mshap]

this fight could be interesting -- or a total bust -- PM showed more than I expected in his last fight, although admittedly against a B level opponent -- remember the problems that PM cause Cotto? (this was before Cotto started his downward slide)

Say what u like about Paulie but the mans a grafter. I'd be up for this fight, definitely!

[nycsmooth]

Pau;s mouth is walking him into beating and ko, he's nothjing but a big-mouthed, no punch, average punk...

This would be worse than the Hatton and Cotto fight. Malinaggi has no chance against Maidana.

Maidana has one of the best chins in boxing and amazing recovery powers. Malinaggi has no chance of hurting him and would be on his bike all night. Maidana by devastation TKO

Maidana has solid power and he's tough, but if you have even the slightest boxing ability then you can make him look bad. I see Maidana chasing Paulie around the ring for 12 rounds on his way to a decision loss, if he could actually cut off the ring it would be a different story.

these 2 are polar opposites in personality and in boxing styles. Paulie does have a great chin though but he has no steam on his punches and as soon as maidana feels his lack of power hes gonna walk him down... he wont respect his punches one bit.

That's pretty much exactly how I see it. Not that I'm claiming to be an authority on the matter or anything lol.

Eh check, remember Paulie's got an amazing chin himself. Sure, he's feather fisted but he's as tough as they come. Cotto knows!

I think Pauli suffers from the "Hayemaker Syndrome." Which is he is no where near as good as his mouth thinks he is. No power and his boxing skills are way overrated. However, I will say that one ailment of the syndrome that he is not afflicted with is the fact that he does have a lot of heart.

paulie would do better agaisnt alexander or brafley

malignaggi doesn't beat maidana. he has good boxing ability, but I just see maidana swarming paulie and landing hard shots all night.
