Malignaggi.

[heyhi1]

I know Pauli from the neighborhood. Hes a slick boxer but hes done with. You gotta give him props , hes stood his ground with top pros. Just didn't have the power and he couldn't move to the next level. But he got to the top.gotta give him that.

[JaguaresMx]

He goes into gunfights with a knife and somehow forged a career.

Impressive. Powder hands aren't supposed to hang with the best.

[M4RK]

Why are people impressed with him? He's lost almost all of his big fights. He lost against Hatton, Cotto, and Khan.

Because he's an inspiration. Just being able to hang with those guys is an impressive feat. Honesty, Heart, Game, some of the things that make Paulie cool.

Isn't it funny how people will b*tch and moan about all the ABC trinkets, all the paper straps in boxing, and yet still give someone like Malignaggi credit for being a two weight world champion?


Let's put his 'title' wins into perspective, shall we?


Lovemore Ndou: was awarded the belt after winning a title eliminator after the then number one junior welterweight, Ricky Hatton, elected to fight the more acclaimed and high profile fighter in Jose Luis Castillo.


Vyacheslav Senchenko: a prime product of greed and corruption in boxing and the WBA especially. Not even the top champion within that organisation, never beat a single top ten contender and has since been exposed for the woefully poor fighter that he is.

[DanboSmitty]

He may not be the greatest puncher or the best boxer, but the guy has been able to compete at a world champion level for a long time now. He has heart and seems like a good guy minus all the antics which he does for promotions sake.
