I don't know why people hate on Paulie, sure hes a brash loudmouth Brooklyn kid but so what? Paulie will fight anyone anywhere, hes got balls. He is tough as hell too, people think because he cant sit on punches and has no real power that he isn't a good fighter or tough. He has a great chin and he has never been KOed. He took a hellacious beating from Cotto and actually fought with a broken jaw and he won some late rounds. The 2 fights that were stopped were both very late rounds and he could have finished them. That 1 loss to Diaz was an outright robbery, so he really only has 3 losses and they are to Cotto, Khan and Hatton, whom are all (or were) titleholders. Paulie is a superb boxer with great speed and technical skill....Chino is my boy too but this is a UD for Paulie all the way. Paulie is going to box Chino's ears off for 12 rounds.
Kinda disappointed because I feel that Paulie - Alexander would had been more on both guys level. Just feel that a guy at the level of Maidana shouldn't be fighting Paulie when they're better fights running around for him. If any other elite guy besides Maidana had tried to fight Paulie right now, I think they get trashed, but Maidana seems to get a lot of lee-way around here .

What better fights at 140 are running around for him? khan is fighting, bradley is fighting, guerrero is out, morales didnt want a rematch. And actually maidana gets trashed alot on here...its funny ppl trash malignaggi as an opponent for maidana but yet paulie has a MUCH better resume than lamont peterson and no one says nothing about that fight.

Agree with everything.
And yes Maidana gets hated on non stop on this forum. I find it crazy since he has only legitimately lost once by a few points to Khan.
