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

You wanted to talk about his losses because you kept bringing them up...I thought I would address you're points

well i certainly can't bring up his wins now can i? there aren't any good ones. if shot judah is a good win then i don't know maybe we just have different standard. you think judah is still a good fighter and dangerous...i will have to disagree strongly. i think people think paulie is good becaue they have such low expectations of him. omg he beat judah i didnt expect that. just because you have low expectations doesnt make guys like judah good.

i thought cotto would ko paulie but he actually won some rounds therefore he is great, i thought hatton would ko paulie and he did...therefore he has balls to take the fight? i thought khan would ko paulie and he did therefore....balls.

He's not that significant. He got world titles when better talents were still up and coming. Once they came up, he was done. You could call him a substitute champ that filled in the void between much better talented champs.

there were always much better fighters in the division but paulie was just lucky he got the opportunities to fight those weak belt holders intead of the other guys. theres a good chance ndou loses to anyone in his first title defense and senchenko never fougth anyone even remotely good but i remember hearing he should have lost to charlie navarro in one of his defenses and he was up on the cards in the paulie fight after losing every round. who knows maybe he could still be going with those bum defenses and gift decisions if paulie hadnt stopped him so maybe he deserves praise for that.

what is his merit though? being a 2 weight champ? ok lets put randall bailey in as well. losing to everyone good? ok lets put a billion guys. only way he gets in is because a lot of people are familiar with his name.
