    tough to say because his serious lack of power and his shot right hand are what is holding him back from being an elite fighter.vote or post your oppinion

    Its not just power and hand problems, its also defensive skill, movement and strength.

    In a 140lb match up Gatti from 2005 would beat the stuffing out of Malignaggi

    The very definition of a 'B level' fighter.

    well i voted no because i think he has the talent but he needs a defensive master of a trainer to really elevate his game

    I don't even rate him as a stepping stone fighter.

    He's a solid B level guy..His power isnt his problem..He has speed and he can be slick..He just has trouble executing against A level guys..It is what it is.. Still a solid fighter.Losing to Hatton and Cotto with a ****ed up hand without being truly knocked out says something about him

    Ngoudjo was B level and he struggled against him. N'Dou is a boderline B leel and Paulie struggled against him as well. He got stomped by the two A level fighters that he fought.

    These A and B rankign are relative to the strength of the division. For instance, as reg says he beat Ngoudjo who is a B level fighter. But, is Ngoudjo a B level fighter? He is going to soon be the IBF champ. Ngoudjo is not an easy fight for anyone at 140. He was robbed against Castillo.

    So my argument is that Paulie will lose against elite fighters and will have a competitive fight verrsus A level fighters while beating B level fighters.

    He is a b+ or a- fighter.

    B level at best.

    I would give him the B right now, but he needs to show me more next fight.

    Ngoudjo plain dominated him. Hes a poors man version of John Ruiz and a fraud. I just hope we ear less and less about him from now on.

    The excessive holding is a new phenomena, I have seen paulie fight for a long time, obviously you have not, because your post reeks of idiocy and trolling. Ngoudjo in no way dominated him it was a close fight.
