    Paulie and Tim Bradley would of been real beasts had they had atleast average power. Both very good Boxers.

      look at all the great old time boxers, right? how many of them fought until they were in their 40's? how many of them put on 15 lbs in 24 hours like it was nothing? how many of them put on lean muscle as they aged?
      This is why even the Jamaican Track team is under su****ion, guess who was on their strength and condition group.... Memo Heredia.....

      Since the Olympic committees keep blood sample for long period after athlete's retire don't be surprised 8-10 years down the line they pop dirty when newer testing methods become available.

        He voluntarily signed up for Olympic style 365 days a year testing, and has VADA administering all of his fights, and has done so for a number of years
        Blood doping is almost impossible to detect so..... ( I love my Pinoy fighters) but Lance Armstrong NEVER TESTED POSITIVE, he got caught because his teammates snitched.

        Never say Never.

          Wilder is on Olympic style testing, 365 days a year?

          I can’t find any evidence for that, do you have a link?

            Let’s not be naive.
            Its not just the criticism, its the sum of all factors. If Whyte didn't look the way he did, BJS didn't suddenly have the stamina of a marathoner, or Miller wasn't a 300 pounder with possibly the highest punch output in the division things would've been different.

            Anyways, if you guys really wanna believe that ****ing Paulie Malignaggi of all peoples couldn't be clean, there is no amount of reason that is going to change that

                Paulie was never great because he had zero power and zero defensive skill.

                  Adding to those that said Paulie M lacks defense & is a feather puncher he also doesn't have the killer instinct at all which is something that made other fighters great

                    Yet, he had all the tools needed to be a great in this sport. He was just a casualty of this dirty game. He deserves more respect, but he will be forgotten sadly for daring to play the game how it was supposed to.
                    I think damaged hands hurt him more than anything. He couldn't punch hard enough to command respect or stop people in there tracks like floyd could even with damaged hands. Paulie was skilled though and plenty of heart.

                      Paulie may not have been clean but if you listen to him, every guy who beat him was dirty.

                      He's a great commentator on showtime's but he's a big mouth grease ball in real life
