    Is Malignaggi training enough to beat Porter?

    Porter's Dad has him training all the time, he's probably the hardest working of the Welterweights. He's in and out of hyperbaric chambers with Khan over a month ago so his conditioning wont' be in question.

    Malignaggi took the bout on a month's notice and if his twitter is any guide (and I think it is) it doesn't seem like he's training at all.

    Fight is on April 19th, is one month's prep. enough to beat a guy like Porter?

      I think whenever fights get made a month before, the fighter themselves have been training before that.

        Skills pay the bills.

        Paulie outside of power is on level with
        Floyd as far as charisma and the business side of things.
        Paulie lives boxing. Its about working smarter not harder. Paulie knows
        Porter inside out and took the fight knowing
        He doesnt need power to beat porter

          I genuinely don't think he knew it was Porter until a week before the announcement. Maybe he had a date, that's possible.

          It's a fair point about him being a vet, but the older guys can lose hunger too.

            I dont see Malignaggi doing well against Porter. The guy proved against Devon that he can pressure well and be rough in the clinch and thats enough to give Paulie a bad day in the office. Paulie may surprise, but I really have my doubts about this one.

              Paulie's a smart guy. I doubt he would not prepare as much as he could.

                I'm sure he'll be ready, I just don't think it's gonna matter. Porter's too strong IMO.
