    Both Zab and Paulie have had solid careers and keep finding ways to win and stay relevant. No reason to hate on either dude.

    Zab was hyped as having talent to be one of his generation's true elite fighters. That's never been said of the Magic Man.

    Zab is an underachiever and Paulie is an overachiever

    Exactly.


    Plus, Zab is the last undisputed WW champ.

    Explain how he can be hype? (ignoring my signature :conf).

    He has very, very little power compared to 99.9% of World class boxers, yet stays relevant, and is now a two division world champion.

    silly comparison. paulie achieved more with what little he has while zab achieved much less given the talent that he had.

    but one or two thing that zab that paulie has is chin and mental toughness. if zab has this attributes, zab could be the p4p#1 right now and not pacquiao or mayweather. :D

    Idk man I remember rumors about Paulie used to have good power, but because he had delicate hands he doesn't sit on his punches much. He got the experience now vs certain fighters that don't use a jab much or brawlers he might have some success. Still waiting for Malignaggi-Judah to happen. Maidana, Alexander, Judah, Paris, Holt, Bailey would all be good fights.
