Interesting you should say that because Malignaggi fights his best moving backwards... Im not saying malignaggi starches him or even outclasses or wins this, I just think that Malignaggi makes a tough opponent for anyone.
I disagree a perfect example is Ricky Hatton. Paulie couldnt handle the pressure and strength.. Williams hits harder and is a half a foot taller than Hatton... This would be a mismatch.
Im not impressed with Vanes. Hes a legit lower 10 contender but i dont see him beating any of the top guys. Williams could be the rest but Angulo is the most dangerous(although Clottey is probably be the toughest of the rest). Wonder if Martinez ruined Williams chin?
If he fights at 147 next fight: someone like Delvin Rodriguez. I think he goes to 154 and fights K-9 Bundridge or someone like Alcine. If anything he should have a rematch with Kermit Cintron.
Mike Jones would be the fight i'd pick if he gets past karass and can fight again that soon. other than him im not sure, mosley is tied up, clottey is coming back at 154 in march, angulo has visa issues, cintron i couldn't care less about and berto is tied up as well. Maybe Kell Brook?
What a stupid plan this is why he should have just stayed at 154 nd created his own legacy. regrding an opponent i think he should face a journeyman to start off with, but why not cintron 2. if cintron wins then he deserves hi shot at berto that he has been winging about.
p willys problem is he doesnt stay in one weight class. nowone wants to fight him at 147.he kinda struggles at 160. 154 would be perfect. he should have a comeback fite vs deandre latimore . i dont think he should fight to tough of an opponent.
