Paulie appreciation thread

[GTL]

I remember how nobody respected Paulie before the cotto fight..
As his career progressed, he gained more respect from the boxing public..

He markets himself well and for a kid that didnt graduate, hes hella articulate..
Hes a great commentator as well as a good boxer..
Hes always a live underdog..

If he had power he'd wouldve beaten broner..

I like Paulie. He's an honest fighter. He gave a lot of the top guys problems. Definitely world class.

He is a future hall of famer .

that's pretty sad

[BUNGALOWS]

Best commentator in the game, hands down.

never liked that POS... he thinks he is unbias and right all the time but his scorecards and his nuthuggin of his ex opponenents show otherwise...

but one thing i can respect about him tho is he aint a b1tch like floyd...

A boxer/announcer

You're right on the money with this. Like floyd, he doesn't wow most people with his fighting style but man does he have the gift of gab and he used that to market himsef perfectly. I always forget that he didn't graduate HS.. You could never tell by hearing him talk. When it comes to interviews Paulie and Angel Garcia are the most entertaining to listen to.

Paulie showed what sort of fighter he is vs Cotto. His face was swelling up Angulo style by the end and his eye was badly cut from 30 seconds in but he still didn't give Cotto a moment to think through the whole fight. He's a skillful fighter but he's also got bags of heart which gets overlooked in fighters that aren't traditional brawlers. If he's got this far as a fighter without being able to **** like others at his weight, think how good a boxer he must actually be.

i was paulies fight with camarena....then i remember paulie completely winning me over that night against cotto....made me a fan...i remember choosing that ppv over the hbo one that night.....went and saw paulie win his first world title live too....always been a fan

also remember paulie talking about the cotto fight afterwards...saying he didnt even feel 100 percent ready for someone like cotto at that point...but because of the hand setbacks he kept having...he didnt know if hed every get another shot...at a big fight/stage like that.....and had to take it

[Holywarrior]

I dunno...I feel like he whines too much.
