C'mon dude that is not neccessary. I just read the article they have of him after the fight, this is my favorite qoute
“If there’s anybody who hits harder than that kid, I’d hate to deal with him,” laughed Malignaggi. “He hits haaard. Now I know why he ruins these people he fights. When he lands, he lands. There were even punches I was catching that were hurting.”
But to say he was screwed, your implying that Cotto had something to do with that. Well if I am not mistaken, Wasn't Paulie the one stating to the world how he can adapt to any situation thus making him superior to Cotto. He should've adapted. What happen to the Magic Man? Look I give him much props as he obviously is no quitter. But be a man and except defeat, like they say what doesn't kill you ( eventhough it looked like he was getting killed) will only make you stronger. I say go back to the drawing board, train in different size rings and make a comeback.
Malignaggi has actually accepted defeat and said that he takes nothing away from cottos performace
It's easy to say you've accepted defeat than to actually feel it in your heart. By even mentioning the Issues with the ring and the weigh-in shows that he is a bit bitter for the lose.
Im proud to say im a Malignaggi fan and I have been since after his fight with Casimonica in 04, Cotto was 6-0 in his title defenses and won all 6 by KO, Paulie snapped that streak and that is something that Corely couldnt do who is a top 10 jr welter also Maussa was TKO'd he is a top 10 welter. So Paulie has a chance to be a top 10 jr welter. So lets see how he rebounds in 6 months or so in his nxt fight and take it from there this is all speculyation right now and its getting no where.
*** for a side note on KO power the great Tommy Loughran the "Philadlphia Phantom" arguably on of the thee best light heavys of all time didnt have KO power, in 174 fights he only had 17 KO's. Also Paul Spadafora didnt have big KO power and he still won a championship
Your point being what? Paulie is going to win a belt someday?
What if this actually happens?
“If there’s anybody who hits harder than that kid, I’d hate to deal with him,” laughed Malignaggi. “He hits haaard. Now I know why he ruins these people he fights. When he lands, he lands. There were even punches I was catching that were hurting.”
What if the guy he fights for a belt actually has more pop than cotto?
