If Malignaggi does keep improving, would you like to see him fight big name boxers such as Pacquiao, Marquez, Berto, Bradley, Maidana, Ortiz, etc.... Malignaggi has to be one of the most improve boxers of 2009, he is now being perceive as a potential candidate for top rank opponents in his division. Although he has upgraded his skills, I do think he still has some improvements and adjustments to make. I do see more power in his punches now, but its not quite there with the big boys. I like to see more inside punching and follow through punches. He has a tendency of hesitating when the opportunity was available. Has he been fighting the right opponents recently, I have to say, yes he has. Malignaggi has to be in the mix with these top rank boxers sometime this year or next year preferably.
hmm says . . . fight khan next; suitable and logical... I won't consider him fighting other big named fighters in his division, let alone skipping fighters you mentioned to fight Pacquiao...
I wouldn't really say improved it's just that he had bad match-ups for him(Hatton,Cotto). He doesn't do well with guys that can punch and rough him up. The man fights everyone and gets my respect and I think he should fight Khan. Marquez doesn't sound too bad for him but I rather see Khan/Malignaggi.
I like to see Malignaggi fight those fighters first, I like to see it happen and maybe a trilogy with Marquez would look real nice on his resume.
