Bigger Heart: Pauli Malignaggi or Juan Diaz?

I only say Paulie because despite his impossibly annoying style of fighting, the kid can take quite a beating, and I don't think he's been knocked down in these fights against Hatton, Cotto, and Diaz.

 

I think he got a knock down in the Cotto fight anyway, but he got right up and fought away again. He showed loads of heart in that fight, i've liked him ever since.

 

Got to go with paulie on this one,he's one tough kid.

 

Both fighters have tremendous courage, I'd say pretty much even.

 

yes cotto did drop him

 

They are more or less even. But I voted Pauli for the Cotto fight and for his angry reaction when his trainer threw the towel in the Hatton fight.

 

Paulie. Cotto dropped him and gave him a massive beating and never once did Paulie look for a way out. Plus he rose hell when Mcgirt stopped the Hatton fight that he was gonna lose anyway just because he wanted to finish.

Diaz gets cut and kinda crumbles.

 

Paulie, he'll just go on and on. Wanted to continue against my man Ricky even though he was getting outclassed but fair enough to him for still wanting to go on before the corner stoppage and he showed a lot of balls in the Cotto fight.

 

malignaggi has always shown tremendous heart especially in his fight with cotto and hatton. heck he even complained when he was not given the chance to finish the fight against hatton. if i rate paulie's heart, it would be 10 out of 10.

 

Didnt cotto also break Paulies jaw during their fight?

 

Sure did! For anyone to fight on and to carry on taking punches to a broken jaw deserves a hell of a lot of respect.

 

Both got heart, but Paulie makes it in a violent sport wit less KO power than just about anybody.

 

they've both got a ton of heart. it's hard to choose between the two. i'm going with both. i'm not gonna just say paulie because he's been beat up more in his career.

 

I believe both men have unlimited balls.
