Malignaggi will beat Cotto the second time around.

Good to see Maggie is finally recovering from the beating he took.

he could be champ if he fights at light welterweight but if he moves up to welterweight i doubt it theres too much compettition there he cant handle it..

I like Malignaggi, he won me over as a fan, but that dude needs to go DOWN in weight, if anything.

Especially with Chico and Castillo moving up as well as Freitas, the lightweight division should be there for the taking.

Yeah I edited Freitas in my post, soon after I posted that. Hasn't he mentioned that he plans to moving up to 140?

There won't be a second time around. Well not for a while at least.

havent heard of that.. freitas should rematch chico, if those fighters you mentioned is going up in weight then paulie should have an easier time but the fighters that are left in the lightweight division are pushovers so i will not be shocked if he won a title at 135 pounds..
