    You must not think highly of Paulie if you think he doesn't school a 0-0 guy with no amateur fights all day every day.

    Paulie's old, but he's got 15+ years in the game & only lost to higher level guys. Cotto, Hatton, Juan Diaz (avenged), Khan, Broner, Porter & Eggington. All title holders at one point except Eggington, but he's one of the best 147lbers in the UK so if he slipped into a title eventually it wouldn't be all that surprising with how often titles get vacated or stripped.

      School him is one thing, but hurt the guy, I don't think so. Paulie was never an Elite fighter. The reason was he never had the power to hurt people. Fighters figured they could withstand all the fluff and attack Paulie. He was a warrior but he is not putting any kind of hurt on Conner. Conner stood in there with Nate Diaz who has a strong boxing backround and took his shoots, with out 12 oz gloves. Paulie will not hurt Conner.

        Paulie never bad mouthed Conor as a person. He just gave Conor no chance to beat Mayweather under boxing rules because Conor isn't a boxer no matter who good he is with his fists in MMA fights.That is the same opinion most boxing fans have on Conor's chances of beating Mayweather under boxing rules. He isn't a hypocrite for agreeing to spar with Conor and he doesn't need the money. If Paulie comes away from sparring with Conor and gives Conor a chance to win I will pay attention to him. Paulie has been sparring top boxers for many years. He will know if Conor has a chance to win or not.

          He's not a hypocrite at all he's not part of TMT & doesn't owe Floyd anything. However the premise still stands. When associated with a Boxer, one doesn't join the oppositions camp & help fine tune him.

          Everybody needs more money. You can never have enough.

                I can't. He still works for Showtime, I don't expect him to say anything that could hurt the sales of the fight. He'll just say his power is real, he underrated his skill, and other vague thing's to sell it even if he doesn't mean it.

                    Well sort of. "Everybody needs more money. You can never have enough."

                    He kinda points out in one of his songs just not the exact words

                      Why he would trust Paulie is beyond me. Paulie is a notorized Floyd nuthugger, don't think for a minute he won't be feeding results back to him somehow.
