Fans Overrate Power?

[Born to Win]

Maybe; but I'll bet George wouldn't say that.

This is true, I agree.

That's ridiculous.

Paul Malignaggi is slick and has no power. Are you telling me he's not going to need any power if he want's to beat Cotto?

Who knows, hes still, one of the most skillful boxers today. Along with Mayweather and Calderon.

Yeah I'm not hating on Malignaggi or trying to hijack this thread, but I can name at least 20 more skilled boxers off the top of my head.

Malignaggi is really nothing special....he looks slick against guys who are fighting on short notice, and really are there for the payday.

yes power is often overrate, dont need power to win just ask pernell whitaker, one of the greatest of all time and didnt need power

[Bonafide]

Unless you are the sweet peas and Camachos of today a slick boxer who doesnt hit very hard will eventually get tagged. All punches hurt but your not gonna make your opponent respect you by fancy footwork and slipping.

Doesnt matter who he looked good against, what matters is he looked good doing it. If he outclasses a "bum", thats what he did. You cant just say he'll lose to every fighter with power, doesnt make sense, and defeats the purpose of boxing.

Karmazin will have his hands full with Spinks, like everyone else does. Spinks is a quick southpaw with a pretty good brain.

I never once stated he'd lose to any fighter with power.

Cotto is not "Any fighter with Power". He cuts off the ring better than anyone in boxing, and has among the best footwork you'll find among fighters. He's also skilled and has a pretty strong will.

Power is one of the last things that will beat Malignaggi.

I've said it a million times on here...

Guys like Paul Spadafora.....his complete & total lack of punching power made people think he was a better technicioan than he really was.

Guys like Paul S. & Malignaggi.....are no different than the guy who scores 25 KO's in his first 25 fights, but suddenly can't punch once he steps up.
Spads & Malignancy .....so much more hittable when the competition is at a higher level.

Malignancy looks like a defensive master when facing mediocrities. Cotto is overrated, but the furthest thing from a mediocrity. Those thinking Paulie is so slick, will be stunned at how easily/frequently Cotto reaches him.

Well, I think Cotto is better than him, but that doesnt make Paulie suck. I'd pick over some other fighters, and hes a shoe in to become a champion.
