paulie malignaggi has no future in boxing: true or false?

Any heavy puncher who applies pressure and wear cleto reyes would just walk to a one punch thrower in paulie who has a right hand that has no power and so brittle. Not only that, he's too cocky like hamed but the difference with him is does'nt hold his promise. Just because he went to the distance with cotto he gets overrated. Shheesh he bored me, and what really agitated me is that he blamed hatton for clinching too much! Who the **** did the most clinching?!! Paulie is an entertainer but with that kind of attitude and brittle weak right hand, he doe'snt have a future against elite punchers of his era. Even better puncher-boxers would just eat his punches and maul him. So what's the point of him fighting? He can only beat b- or c-class fighters! What do you think?

 

Of course he has a future. He's beaten some decent names and has way more to offer the fight game. Just because he's unlikely to go down as a legend doesn't mean he should pack his bags and leave.

 

1st off as a paulie fan good job ricky and 2nd you can make a living fighting b and class why not 90% of boxers who never make the high levels of boxing do it just to scrape by but i was dehearted by paulie last night it looked like he just gave up but no reason to give up he can make a career off of fighting ndous

 

paulie is a bum that has no right hand he always got an excuse it serves him right the trainer stopped the fight from the second round he was holding thru out he is an overrated boxer that has no power after this nobody will want to watch him because he is boring

 

He has no future as a elite A level fighter that will go down in history....he still can fight at a good but excellent level.

 

any fighter who has "hands of pillows" has no future in boxing...

 

Of course Malignaggi has a future left. He may never become a top pfp guy but 99% of boxers never do and I don't think we want all them to give up. Malignaggi has some decent wins, held a title, and his 2 losses are to Cotto and Hatton. That shows he's a good just not elite fighter. His division is full of solid fighters but without marquee names and Malignaggi is one of the biggest names at jr welter. A lot of the other top fighters will be gunning for him because of his name value. Holt, Torres, Bradley, Peterson, Urango, Aranoutis, etc. All these guys would get one of their biggest paydays against Malignaggi and I'd say Paulie has a shot in all those fights. I wouldn't be surprised if he grabs a title again in the next year or so.

 

true.....Cotto ruined him

 

Fully agreed. His right hand isn't exactly made for boxing either, it breaks when the other guy punches his chin into it.

 

Kirk I could'nt have said it any better, I loved what you said especially in regards that he will never have a short night and that only leaves more room for him to get hit with more punches. Again Kirk great post.

 

False, I think he can win more fights if he understand a very simple fact(And can use he right hand).
He needs to understand he has no power. He has less power in 140 than Ivan Calderon at 108. He needs to watch a few Calderon tapes and understand how to win a fight by boxing. If he keeps on insisting on trading, he is going to get permanet damage

 

Of course he still has a future.

Not as a top of the class fighter but he's certainly in the ballpark of the top 5 in his division. He's a great name on the resume none the less.

 

Well, Hatton finished him.

 

This thread is a joke. Of course he has a future. He just lost to the linear champ and Paulie was a title holder but he has no future? Please!
