Comments Thread For: Paulie Malignaggi - The 'Magic Man' Decides To Call it a Day

[daggum]

when senchenko's team tried to cherry pick him he was up to entitled ways...

"I have no hard feelings to anyone. It's whatever. At the end of the day, I didn't anticipate a deal to be made. I wanted $500,000, so I wasn't going to take $250,000.

250k was an insult to a guy who had been off the radar for years and lost all his big fights...

and the no self-awareness award goes to paulie after saying this...

"My whole life, nothing was handed to me. I had to go out in the world and get it.

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?

Nope not my words, old sure, out of prime, definitely but still a very good fighter and a dangerous fight.

Ok who did he lose to in his prime? A Prime Cotto who was big and strong at Junior Welter (Prime Cotto was a beast). Ricky Hatton who only lost to Mayweather at the time and had beaten some very tough competitors and Khan. I'm not including the first Diaz fight as the decision was crazy. So the one real blemish I would say is the Khan fight and if you look at how marked up Khan was after that fight and imagine if Paulie could actually punch....I also thought the stoppage was premature.

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

what to make of guys like ngoudjo and cano who were robbed against him? oh i guess they didnt win 2 belts against crappy fighters so they arent legends like paulie. and could they lose as badly as paulie against all the good fighters? no way!

boxing separates divisions by weight. it should consider keeping guys with power away for those without. the cant break an egg league.

you keep talking about who he lost to over and over. isnt that a hint that this guy doesnt have much of a resume in terms of wins.
