    Dont think you can call him a speedster when Hatton comfortably beat him to the punch.

    He would be possibly be one of the top 3 JWW's if he could hit harder, it's that bad. Power isn't the most important physical attritube, you just need enough power to keep opponents honest, unfortunately Malignaggi's power isn't good enough.

    I'm not a fan of Malignaggi at all but he is able to do something that very few fighters can do and that is jab from the waist, which is very difficult to do.

    I'm sorry but there is nothing "slick" about Paulie. He doesn't counter. He doesn't have great defense. He just sticks the jab and moves. And his movement is limited to going backwards. He doesn't have great footwork. Lacks power (not his fault). He has success against very limited fighters. But he couldn't even keep a limited Hatton off of him. "Slick" should not be used in any description of Paulie. He's not PBF or Hopkins. He doesn't have that aspect down.
