    He has the potential to go far, but we've all seen many fighters who have had potential and gone off the rails. We'll have to wait and see with Paulie here.

        No doubt this guy has the tools, but his body may prevent him from being a champion.

        Can this guy beat Castillo at 140?

        Or Mayweather or Margarito at 147?

        Then who are the geniuses that voted "possible champion"? This kid would be forced to quit on his stool just like Arturo Gatti did.

          He fights in a talent-laden division. He would get his ass handed to him by a SLEW of fighters. He hits like a *****. How would he keep top fighters off him?

          Castillo, Casamayor, etc, etc..

              Light Welter and Welter are simply too good of divisions right now for this featherfisted fraud to obtain a meaningful belt.

                The fact that there is so much talent out there provides fighters like malignaggi with opportunities to make a name for themselves. Goodluck to the guy.

                    Hah, the only way his name will get out there is by getting his asswhooped by somebody worth a damn.

                      I won't jump the gun on my opinion about his talent, because he hasn't fought anybody notable enough to say he's good or bad at this point. He clearly has talent, he's fast, good movement. He hits like a ***** and that's a big problem, We'll see how he does in the future. Prospects like this these days seem to take a long goddamn time before stepping up their competition so we probably won't know for sure for another couple of years.
