**How Malignaggi win reflects on Cotto...**

Pauli will continue to show he is a very good fighter, and the win will continue to show that Cotto is a great fighter.

 

The Malignaggi win becomes even more impressive after his domination of N'Dou to capture a 140 pound belt. Cotto showed he was able to deal with the speed of Malignaggi which impresses me.

 

Ngoudjo will hopefully beat Malignaggi

 

How does it reflect? Very well, Malignaggi boxed impressivly and won every round against N'dou. N'dou is a very tough fighter , but Paulie was just too fast.

 

I think it gets both fighters more respect for the Paulie-Cotto fight. Now, people don't as feel weird admitting that Paulie won about 5 rounds out of that fight, and Cotto gets proper credit for putting a beating on a very slick fighter.

Also, it helps out Paulie's credibility that he was able to come out a better fighter after he fought Miguel- and that's no small feat. It would've been easy to write off Malignaggi after that fight as a serious player at 140, and just as easy to say that Cotto sleepwalked his way to a points win over a featherfisted prospect who got thrown to the wolves too soon.

Now, I think both fighters get proper recognition and credit for that fight.

 

yeah yeah we get it, Cotto's da **** right now. I'd pick him over all active boxers at 147 (PBF is RETIRED).

 

I love that Malignaggi was talking about how, down the road, he might want a rematch with Cotto. I'd love to see it. Not any time too soon, of course, but maybe in 5 or 6 fights.

 

I'd love to see him get his @ss kicked AGAIN. Let him pitty pat his 5-6 rounds

 

very very good, PR should be very proud of this kid is all class.

 

It only shows that Cotto beat a skilled fighter not a bum fighter as the morons in this forum would like to put it before and immediately after that fight.

Cotto's win over the guy can be better appreciated now.

 

********. This is boxing, not a streetfight.

 

Gotta give respect to Malignaggi. For a guy with absolutely no power - worse p4p than Ottke, IMO - he possesses enough other skills to get past that. hugely impressive, really. but the lack of power will eventually tell again - Hatton, Cotto rematch, Juan Diaz all have the ability to walk through him.

however, it reflects well on Cotto that he was able to land on this slickster.

 

I have to admit I thought that Malignaggi was pretty crap before the Cotto fight, but he was excellent in it and simply beaten by the better fighter, so my view changed. I honestly thought he'd beat N'dou - I didn't see it, but it sounds like he beat him a lot more comprehensively than I asumed.

 

Ngoudjo barely beats Bailey and Augusuts, how can he beat Mallignaggi.
