Someone told me Malignaggi is STILL pissed at me. I agree with Crax. Hamed backed his **** up. Malignaggi just runs his ****ing mouth.
only a handful of fighters are more cocky than the hamed... his entrance itself is pure arrogance let alone his bigmouth.. man i miss the prince..
Hamed was much cockier. Malignaggi is flamboyant in his persona, but if you listen to interviews he's actually fairly down to earth and realistic about his own role in the boxing landscape.
They're both very similar in the way they come across on TV. Hamed was far more arrogant though, it was in his blood to be that cocky. Paulie on the other hand only does it for the cameras, but in real life he seems like a nice guy, the type you can chill and have a decent conversation with. A better comparison would be between Hamed and Mayweather.
Definately Hamed, Hamed got a lot of people into boxing due to sheer entertainment value; he's a legend.
hamed was amazing early on his career, i've never seen such arrogance in my life but he was an exceptional athlete as well as showman. i think he peaked around the time he fought robinson, hardy, and johnson. if had had been fighting at that time in america i think he would have been massive. imo as his career wore on and he became a very rich man and content family man, his hunger gradually disappeared. i think he could have gone on to achieve much more than he did, though someone like barrera would have always had his number.
