    Well he is a mouthy little *****, but I have a lot of respect for Paulie. He's a professional boxer that'll fight anyone, how can you hate on that as a boxing fan.

    I have always respected him. I just don't think he should clown so much in the ring. That should really only be done by a great like Ali or Roy Jones

    Of course I respect him. He is a very good fighter and shows mad heart.

    Sure... He's not as bad as I thought at first... But still a pretty boring fighter imo.

    He is alright by my book, he is tough and shows heart and you saw how much balls he has in the Cotto fight (was his jaw broken?) with a busted up face.

    He talks a lot but he says what he thinks.

    he won my respect after watching him fight in a tiny arena on hdnet fights then jumping in with cotto and even getting cotto to respect him in the ring.

    I don't respect him. He's one strange dude, with a big mouth but his skills are nothing special.

    i became a fan a bit after the cotto fight, when i saw a documentery on him..... he means well, seems to be an ok guy just a bit mouthy, but ay.... he doesnt take it to the extremes and when he does he still 'usually' remains decent. I dont have a problem with him, and to be honest am a slight fan at this point, though his hair pisses me off.

    For the people saying his skills are nothing special.... guess what, he did better against Cotto and Diaz then 90% of the other fighters they have fought, and hes at the top levels in the sport of boxing, for not being able to punch, not having above average strength to impose, or other array of natural gifts, the guys done pretty damn good for himself. Obviously his skills are good enough.

    If half these boxers out here who have power, strength, size and chin had a bit of his skills and heart theyd be champions.
