    I picked Malignaggi as he is young, skilled, and resilient
    I actually like Zab more but he's past it, too far past it to beat Paulie
    Paulie beats Zab 99 times out of 100

    Paulie doesn't have the power to make zab respect him. Zab breaks apart mentally when fighters make him realize that he isn't superman. It'll be a good fight but I gotta say zab by ud. I don't see a ko in this fight.

    Zab would fear Malignaggi's power and crumble under pressure.

    Not really Bigreg...sure it would be a good fight.....I'm not trying to get into a fighter A beats fighter C **** but who did better against Cotto??
    We can tell alot about those performances against Cotto
    Malignaggi has an iron chin(it kills me to say it cause I'm not a fan of Malignoggi)
    Malignaggi is faster, and smarter
    and of course we all know about Zabs stamina problems whereas Malignaggi comes on strong late in a fight
    All things considered I would give Zab a chance early in the fight for a KO but then again I feel Paulie is too fast and smart to let that happen

    even though I would love to see Paulie get KTFO, Zab sure as hell won't do it....Now a prime Zab is a different story all together:deal

    I'm on point mate...far from far off:yep

    Paulie was fighting a Cotto who was going through weight issues. In addition, Zab is left handed. Being left handed is not an advantage against Cotto as it is easier for him to land that left hook. Furthermore, Zab hadn't had a real fight in over a year when he fought Cotto.

    Mailignaggi does not have an iron chin. Ngoudjo almost knocked him out in round 7 of their fight. Ngoudjo is not a big puncher and doesn't set his punches up well.

    Paulie is not faster than Zab.

    Zab's stamina issues only seem to surface when he's getting the crap beaten out of him. Paulie doesn't have enough punching power or good enough body work needed to wear down Zab.

    Zab would beat the hell out of Paulie. Paulie's best punch is his jab. It's hard to work off the jab against a leftie. Paulie also has no power and poorous defense(he seemingly has no defense for left hands, not good against a lefty with good power). To beat Zab you have to pressure him. Paulie only knows how to fight going backwards. This is a terrible matchup for Paulie.

    Zab is only 30 and not anywhere near as past it as you try to claim.

    No you are not.

    Judah beats Malignaggi. He doesn't have to worry about being pressured and he would have advantages on the outside because of his superior speed and power.
