Malignaggi's Legacy Begins Against Cotto

[Ta Khent]

An avid New York Yankees fan, Paulie "The Magic Man" Malignaggi (21-0, 5 KOs), has returned to the heart of Boston Red Sox country to train once again with famed strength-and-conditioning coach, Mike Boyle, in preparation for Malignaggi's breakthrough June 10th mega-fight against World Boxing Organization light welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (26-0, 22 KOs) at Madison Square Garden.

His legacy will undoubtedly end against him as well.

Wow, Paulie's talking allot of KaKA. But it's cool because he's generating much publicity wether he wins or not. As a Brooklyn native I'm happy for Paul Malignaggi for getting this chance. As a proud Puerto Rican I'm shocked that he would say that Cotto is stepping into his domain when Cotto is welcomed there by his PR fans. As we say "Mi casa es su casa"! I admit that Cotto is my favorite boxer but as a realist I still have to go with Cotto. I won't make the same PRcan pride driven mistake I made with Trinidad vs Hopkins. I've thought about it rationally over and over again and I see Cotto winning by KO before the 8th.

Gawd man, don't remind me .....

New York is more of a house for Itlians, than Puerto Ricans, he is right about that. Their white, ex-mafia, and dont forget that they are pretty good fighters, Paulie is gonna be a big test. I've seen Mexicans go to NY and get PR descions....

LOL!I cried the night of the Trinidad VS Hopkins fight. Just kidding. I watched it with a bunch of Dominican friends at work and when Tito lost, I was extremely angry. They did not sympothise with me.

I disagree. I think it's even in most ways. I'm from Brookyn myself and I could honestly say that it's gonna be crazy with the Paisans and the Boricuas. The Boricuas are gonna be yelling Cotto! Cotto! Cotto! While the Paisans are gonna be chanting Paulie! Paulie! Paulie. Just like that. It's gonna be B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Hopefully, all of Cottos big fights will be in New York or Puerto Rico, so that I could eventualy go to one. Unlike Trinidad, who always fought in gay Vegas.

Pauli says that he's 25yr old like that is an advantage over Cotto, Dumb motherfoker, Cotto is also 25yrs old...

Tito did a lot of his fights in NY and PR, but you know that the real big ones are done in Vegas...

I'm tried of Vegas stealing our fighters, Cotto should fight in New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and Miami, so his fans can see him. Big fights happen over there, because people dont think outside the box...

"Miguel Cotto is a one dimensional fighter and anybody who thinks he can box lives in dreamland,"

Are you serious? Cotto is not one dimensonal what is this guy talking about! This ni99a Paulie thinks he is gonna win. He said Corley and Torres rocked him. Both fighters by far have more power than him. He is just saying all this **** to make it big and get a pay day or whatever but i think Cotto is gonna damage his shoulder aslo. I hate ni99as that talk ****! He gonna die on June 10.
