    Paulie is shot to pieces but I'd still back him on points over someone who is not a boxer.

    LMAO
    Look my man Paulie is a G. I dont care how what you feel about him. He is a proven champ in his time and not only was a champ with multiple defenses but he won. He still getting paid to broadcast. Enough said.

    Paulie clearly has the skill to beat McGregor. He could easily out point him and avoid him enough (remember MCgregor in the clinch? Exactly) for 12 rounds but idk if his body will co-operate. Either way I'll rooting for the Magic Man.

    They did spar for 12 rounds. And supposedly there is some documentary coming out that has extended footage of that spar.

    It's well known all those MMA losers have glass jaws. Paulie starches that joke.

    Does Paulie get his first stoppage in 20+ years?

    The sad part is they’d make money. Sucker born every minute. If they can sell it more power to them.

    I pick Paulie by stoppage.

    I find this hard to believe.

    McG is an industry at this point... I really dont see Malignaggi getting the call as an opponent.

    I'll be surprised if this actually happens. It uust doesnt make a whole lot of sense for Conor.

    That being said...

    If the fight does happen, I think its very winnable for Conor and Id have to see how Malignaggi looks in sparring leading up to it but Id probably pick Conor in a 7-5 type fight.

    I don't think it will happen it would be embarrassing for Conor to lose to a retired former 140 pound boxer and damaging to his brand.

    Don’t see the upside to this for McGregor

    Paulie seeing easy money but it’s not going to be huge money that would make it worth McGregors while to take a schooling off a boxer who isn’t really famous outside of boxing

    Probably a controversial outcome, truly. McG via SD.

    Imagine all of the sound bites! This may not be the best FIGHT ever, but it would be the best promotional tour ever hands down!
    GOAT pressers!

    So another featherfisted boxer, makes boxing look bad when McGregor last 8+ rounds. The guy also fights at WW in UFC which is 170lb. He should be fighting Canelo or GGG where he will get ko’d first round.

    Or at least fight a porter or Crawford or even a Mikey Garcia, just someone who can punch.

    Even broner McGregor would be better.

    I don’t understand why my thread got moved to the MMA forum when I made it first.
