What are Paul Malignaggi's chances against Cotto?

[GordoMillones]

I Believe 34% Out 100%
Due To His Speed Thats All

The thing about Paulie is that nobody has really tried to frustrate Miguel in the ring the way that he is going to. I'm just guessing here but I think that Miguel is an easy one to throw off his game, and if Paulie can avoid those vicious blows in the early going he might have Miguel right where he wants him.

He's maturing a lot and getting better at fighting tactfully. You're right, though, this fight will test that.

He moves as fast as he talks, he will outbox Cotto, mark my words.

common... look at paulie's record, he fought D- class fighters so far... paulie is a C class fighter, he has no chance in hell to beat cotto.

[ricecrispi]

seen him fight some bums. Malignaggi is not a championship caliber fighter and doesn't deserve a shot at Cotto.

He has not power at all.

All speed and slickness. Blinding jab. Very quick single puncher. His hand speed in combos is a bit slower and he leaves his hands down when throwing them with power.

Defense, he's slick but he over estimates himself. It ain't even that great defensively considering he is in the ring with guys with two left feet that can't dance and punch at the same time.

Cotto KO in 6-7 rds after he figures MAGIC man and shuts up mega mouth.

Cotto KO in 6-7 rds after he figures MAGIC man and shuts up mega mouth.

i think Cotto could KO him earlier than that... < 5 rounds, few of Cotto's body shots will slow paulie down in the early rounds. and ko that ***gety eyebrow waxing mother****er in round 5.

Cotto please go easy on him

Cotto may permanently damage the backstreet boy. I saw Paulie fight, and many of you say that he is slick, he is not that slick. He does get hit, and when he gets hit by Cotto his life will be in jeopardy.

Malignaggi fights in reverse with a very open stance. Cotto will run through this chump. Malignaggi may run for a couple of rounds and frustrate Cotto a little, but it will be only a matter of time before Cotto wins by KO.

Malignaggi is very very very VERY green and has no power. He has skills we can all see that but who was it against? Low tiered opposition so of course he is going to look good. Hell Jesus Chavez jr. looks good in some fights should we throw him in their with Cotto?

Fact is Malignaggi is very green and hasnt had to deal with adversity which will hurt him in this fight. Also Malignaggi reminds me of a Zab Judahish fighter. He has a chip on his shoulder and constantly turns his back to his opponents I think he will lose focus if he keeps a distance from Cotto and thinks it will be a walk in the park. Which Malignaggi does often! Cotto on the other hand has been in very risky situations and came through them and has boxed and brawled a good bit of name opponents. Also Cotto is just physically stronger and IMO will eat Malignaggis jabs while stalking him into the later rounds. Nothing Paulie can do to stop Cotto from coming forward.

Remember though, Malignaggi might be a decent boxer but Cotto is an excellent brawler and a good boxer...

TKO 8th round.

I already bought my tickets, Malignaggi better put up a good fight, survive at least 5 or 6 rounds, then I'm happy.
