    For those of you that are picking Malignaggi..

    After Cotto decapitates Malignaggi's head, will you say that Cotto fought another "nobody"? Or will you say that Cotto beat a very good, fast, tricky technician like you gies are claiming he is?

    I'll say he beat an over ambitious natural talent, but of course, we know this isn't going to happen.

      Malignaggi hasn't proven anything to anybody so how do you expect us to give Cotto props for beating him?

        Im just saying that there are people who keep saying that Paulie is going to give Cotto a boxing lesson. Ironically, these are the same people that say Cotto is an overrated bum and only fights bums. When Cotto inverts that italian's face in, will those people still say the same about Cotto?

        Are you picking Paulie over Cotto?

          i think Cotto will roll over Malignaggi, i dont think the Italien has a chance, but boxrec.com has Malignaggi ranked at 86th among light welters, how meaningful will that win be for Cotto and his fans

            I am one of the people that think Malignaggi wins.

            I never said Cotto is a bum. I never said he's overrated - read my posts. Don't generalize.

            If Cotto wins, i'll give him some props - but not too much.

            In a way, it's because this is more of a test for Paulie than it is for Cotto. If Paulie wins, he gets crazy props because he is the underdog - ont in my eyes, but in most people's.

            Also, because Paulie hasn't really proven himself yet, just because i think he'll win doesn't mean i think he's a good fighter. This fight is the point at which he makes it or fades. If he's as good as i hope he is, he'll beat Cotto. If i've overrated him, then IM wrong - then Paulie isn't actually a good fighter, and it was my own human error for believing it. Therefore Cotto can only get limited props.

            Whereas, if Paulie beats a good fighter in Cotto, then, because Cotto is established as a good fighter with decent skills and decent pop, i can give full props to Paulie.

                If Cotto wins, I'll still have the exact same views on him. If he loses to Paulie, then Cotto isn't even a quarter of the fighter I thought he was.

                  Paulie is a C level fighter, but may have stylistic matchups that could trouble cotto.
