people thinking malignaggi had the clout to cherry pick anything is sooooo funny . . .

dude had the deck stacked against him at every turn.

yes he had a name after losing to cotto. lets see who had a bigger name malignaggi or lovemore ndou the guy who traveled for a living fighting in opponents backyards.

and he didnt cherry pick senchenko, senchenko cherry picked him because paulie had a name from losing to so many good fighters but it backfired and paulie won. paulie won because senchenko was terrible and i have no idea how he even got a belt but he certainly never beat anyone good in his career.

How did he cherry pick those belts exactly?

he cherry picked ndou. senchenko cherry picked him but senchenko was sh-it. senchenko never would have tried to cherry pick him if he didnt have a name and hadnt lost to so many top fighters. so he cherry picked one and was exteremely lucky a bum had a belt and wanted to fight a name

[daggum]

Do you also not consider Judah a top fighter?

when paulie fought him............how was he a top fighter?

So based on what your saying 1 cherry picked opponent then.

Yet you had no problem judging an old Malignaggi against the likes of Porter, Garcia and Broner. Malgnaggi wasn't exactly in his prime either when he fought Judah

no he cherry picked one belt. when he tried to cherrypick easier opposition like ngoudjo and cano he struggled mightily and should have lost but got bailed out by the judges to preserve those future losses and belt transfers to better figthers.

so you admit judah was old, crap and out of prime but you just 5 minutes ok tried to pass him off as a top fighter?

ok paulie wasn't prime lets just judge paulie on his prime fights. ok he lost them all. great fighter how?

Magic Man" Malignaggi returns to the ring February 17 against Edner Cherry in the 10-round main event on HBO

he turned into a main event fighter because he lost and they let him cherry pick a 130-135 pound fringe contender. hbo

if paulie is a ''great legend'', what to make of those who beat him
