    Paul Malignaggi - Feather Fisted Fraud?

    In all your opinions, is Malignaggi Feather Fisted?

    5 Knockouts in 16 bouts against sub-par opposition isn't the best KO ratio, but is it because he's patient, or because his punches don't hurt?

    DO you think if he let his hands go, he would get more KOs?

    I recently watched one of his fights, and his speed is there. He knows how to use the jab - and it's like a laser. But does it have any power, or is he just sticking his hand out like a measuring stick.

    Personally, watching the reaction of his opponent, the jab has some sting. I think Malignaggi will score more knockouts with accumulated damage, as he fights bouts with more rounds.

        I think he is a decent fighter but he has very brittle hands. I don't think he will have any major impact in the sport but i don't think he's a total fraud. Maybe if he had better hands he would make a bigger impact.

          I saw him fight once. He seemed very ****y. Didn't like his style since he carries no punch. I think he's fraud.

              His name ends in a vowel, so he will ultimately get endless opportunities and develop a fan following.

              But he is not a strong fighter, and will be exposed for the mega-fraud that he is.

                Fast kid good jab but couldn't knock out a pillow. His chin hasn't been tested and neither has his heart, so we will see. I don't think he will be any threat to anyone.

                  How can you know if he is a fraud if he hasn't been exsposed yet? Paul has good skills and he is slick, his only weakenss that I have seen is his punching power and brittle hands.

                    He is a 26 yr old (not a kid) who has NO power in the most talent-laden divisions in boxing.

                    His opponents so far are nobodies, and he can't even knock THOSE guys out.

                    He has the following names ahead of him to face: Castillo, Corrales, Casamayor, Hatton, Cotto, Mayweather, Margarito, Harris, Witter, Mosley, etc.

                    Remind me why this guy is being talked about?? Put him in with ChopChop, and let's see how he does. That is a good gateway fight.

                    I'm much more excited about Rock Allen.
