I was surprised Malignaggi took this fight. Either he's got a ton of desire or he knows something we don't. I can't wait personally.
Does Paul have a reql chance??

Paulie thinks he superman. I feel sorry for him. It's just his mouth running. He has nothing better to say. Just a **** talker thats about it. He gonna end up just like his cousin branco. Broken jaw and damaged shoulder. I wouldn't be surprised if Paulie quits after all that talking.Comment

But there is one piece of information most of you forgot.
Paulie said he is going to spar with boxers that have nearly the same style as Cotto. So I guess he got bigger chance than you think he got. I really never seen him in action that much to decide. But so of his style is take from Hamed.
I think if Paulie wins he will be the next Nassem Hamed, Too much trash talk and danceing around the ring. But on the other hand Cotto is always defensive and it may be hard for Paulie to get some clean shots. But it will also be hard for Cotto to attack and then defence.
Cotto need to stay still and cut the ring til Paulie is stuck on the corner. and then bombard him with body shots. At the end finish him off.
The only way for Paulie to win is to be in train on escape from the ropes and he should move around the ring .
I say Cotto - 70% and Pauli - 30% that is from what I seen and heard.Comment

See that's the thing. He gonna get "SPARRING" partners that have a similar style to Cotto. But will these partners hit Paulie hard? Do they hit hard as Cotto? I mean spar all you want but you know Cotto has power and could box. It's more like a worst nightmare for anyone who steps in with Cotto.Comment

Cotto has definately got the edge in this fight people question his chin but apart from Torres who was a out and out puncher no one has really troubled Cotto okay apart from Corley but cmon this guy is a boxing analysis dream his chin is always held low his guard is always held high he cuts of the ring with great movement his combinations are crisp and accurate he ranks up there in body punching with Hatton and Gatti This kid has it all and I am sorry but I really cant see Paulie winning more than two roundsComment

Magic can outbox cotto. However if Cotto hits its him it will be interinsting. However Magic will have to fight like Hopkins did against Trinidad. PEFECT. He cant make one mistake.Comment

Sure he stands a chance, just like everyone else, but Cotto will be far more superior than Paulie. His defense and power will dictate this fight. Not to mention he has been in the ring with much better competition than Magic. I got Cotto by TKO in the 8th.Comment

There's 2 things that people think that cotto does not have. Speed & a good chin. Cotto's faster than what most people think and when it comes down to the chin, the only time that I consider he was rocked by clean hits was when he fought Torres, a hard puncher. Cotto didn't fight a smart fight that night and that's why he was rocked. 95% of boxers out there right now would've gone down with all the punches he took that night. He went down by a push.
I've seen Paulie fight a couple of times and I saw plenty of kinks in his armor that Cotto will take full advantage of com eJune 10th.Last edited by Soldier01; 03-31-2006, 10:10 AM.Comment

I'm with you on this one, Cotto is faster than people think and has a better chin (takes a better hit to the head) than people think. Cotto is also a very sound boxer with extensive amateur career. Cotto got caught with a good punch that he didnt see by Corely, but he kept his wits and came back to win. This shows alot to me, I mean does anyone question Gotti's beard? I know I dont he keeps getting up, also Corrales is a good example (unless he's fighting a Castillo that's doesnt make weight and comes in at super welter).Originally posted by Soldier01There's 2 things that people think that cotto does not have.

While I think really slick boxers like PBF, Zab and Spinks would give Cotto some trouble and possibly out point Cotto, I dont however think this is probable with Paulie.Comment
