    We all love an underdog and all but he's starting to overstep it.. says he will knock out Broner and **** on him?

    Its funny and all but lets be honest.. it would be a shock to us all if he even staggered Broner.

    A good commentator but his cockiness is starting to make him seem unprofessional.

    At least Broner's cockiness is founded; he's thus far an undefeated knockout artist. But Paulie is feather fisted and straight up talking trash.

    It's actually making him the most popular he's ever been. People are becoming fans of his because they like what he's putting it to use to. And that of course is to humiliate Broner. Sure, he's lost in the ring before and his fighting abilities aren't as impressive as what he can talk up, but still, he comes across as a genuine, likeable guy that isn't putting an act on. He's naturally that sharp and witty, so he gets away with it.

    It's against Broner.

    So no.

    You could hit Adrian Broner in the back of a head with a hammer and curb-stomp him into a nursing home and you wouldn't necessarily become "unlikable" for it.

    After the fight these guys will embrace and like each other. Paulie is just marketing the fight, although some of his comments are a little too much for my taste. I like fighters to say how they will beat a guy, not get into different things which has nothing to do with boxing. But people will get interested and it will sell much more than had they not made ridiculous comments at press conferences. Grudge matches sell. and usually the fighters respect each other after. Hearns and Hagler like each other now, and Hagler does not like Ray much. Before their fights Hagler and Ray were friends, and Marvin and Tommy couldn't stand each other.

    Not at all. You mad that Paulie is making your boy look like an idiot? If it wasn't for Paulie straight up abusing Broner verbally, I wouldn't even be rooting for him.

    Uh no the opposite effect, and considering who he is bashing he is becoming more likeable.

    It's who he is fighting... if he talks trash against a low level or a humble fighter, then people would start to hate him.

    His cockiness and over the top antics are one of the reasons I like him so much!

    Hes entertaining!

    The fact that hes incredibly tough and has made it as a boxer without any real puch only makes him more likeable.

    That's right. And on top of all that, he's a fighter who's been around the block. He knows what's what around this the sport, knows a good fighter when he sees one, and is the first to give props to a good fighter in the event he loses.

    Fixed.

    it's a possibility, but Paulie is a tough mother****er so a decision is the more likely outcome.
