    Could Paulie Malignaggi have improved his power with PED's?

    Just a thought. Many of his fights I've sat there thinking, "if he had any power at all he'd have won by KO 6 rounds ago".

    Dude, even if Paulie had Javier Capetillo in his corner tampering with his wraps Paulie still couldn't break an egg much less PEDS.

      No way. Power isn't something you all of a sudden get through PEDs. You either have it or you don't. Many boxing trainers have said this.

        Probably not, because his punching technique and delivery is so horrible.

        He throws mainly arm punches, no load hooks, or loaded straights, he rarely gets all his power from his big legs into his shots.

        His punching delivering is flat out bad so it probably won't help him.

        The only way it will help you is if you have great technique like Marquez, its similar to Baseball the players have great batting technique but the steroids gives them more power so it amplifies.

        If you have bad punching technique it won't do jack, look at Chael Sonnen he is juiced up but he can't hurt a fly in stand up because he doesn't throw loaded up power shots, just arm punching jabs and flicking punches.

          I thought Paulie's big problem is having to hold back because his hands are such a mess?

            Probably but he would've had to retire due to brittle hands.

              how come paulie does not talk about the numbing agent floyd uses but harps on about pacquaio

              its because he is a floyd mayweather nuthugger groupie

                Malignaggi's low knockout ratio is because of bad hands. There was a time he needed an operation after every fight. He always hurt his hands first round and the hands would swell. He was finally told to either quit boxing or just hit a bit and move. He chose the later.
