Malignaggi vs Gatti/Baldomir?

I really don't think Malignaggi should be stepping into the right with Arturo "Thunder" Gatti. Cotto ****ed him up harsh, and I thin if he was to duke it out with Gatti it would be more of the same.

The kid has heart but his fists are feathers. Some fighters win fights on heart, look at Diego Corrales' first fight against Castillo. However in order to win with heart you still have to have the power to stop a guy and Malignaggi doesn't have that. Perhaps he should move up a weight class or two and see how he fairs there.

i think he has a very good chance to beat both, he showed he's got a good chin, and he showed hes got good boxing skills, what was surprising is how he stayed in front of cotto and both traded some shots that mallenaggi could have avoided. though i think he'd have a good chance versus both, after this his fight with cotto i'd have him fight 1 or 2 easy fights so he can get his rythem back.

Paulie is a good fighter and best of all he knows how to box.

I think Paulie should go down in wieght instead of up that way he could match up is punch power with the weight class he is in.

I honestly think Paulie would put on a boxing clinic verses Gatti.

I wasn't a fan of Malignaggi before the Cotto fight, and was expecting Cotto to KTFO Paulie within the first 7 rounds. The dude has earned my respect plus some.

Gatti would do more damage than Cotto did IMO

Gatti is overrated, and not as skilled as Paulie. Gatti is a warrior that can give a good punch, but he has looked quite ridiculous in there with the more skilled opposition.

Gatti has a chance but Paulie is totally the wrong match up for Gatti. Gatti needs to go against Pressure guys or boxer punchers. Slick boxers will make Gatti look bad even if Gatti wins. Gatti's handlers are all about showcasing what Gatti does best and that is slug it out and thats the type of people they will put him against.
