I dunno. Definitely can't continue boxing if that is his mentality. He also says that he didn't take any notice when McGirt told him to throw or he will be pulled, he says he didn't take him seriously and was surprised when he saw the towel. Not a great thing to be admitting to.
People dont like Paulie cause he talks **** but you gotta respect him, he is always honest in his interviews and seems to be a very humble man after a fight . . . Your right if hes just going to go thru his career doubting himself, he will beat some good fighters like Ndou and Ngoudjo but will always lose to the elite like Cotto or Hatton . . . Yeah not a great thing to admit to but hes man enough too so good on him
if his hands are hurt perhaps he ought to go train in newbridge with calzaghe and learn the slap stlye punch as calzaghe throws them punches to avoid hurting his hands.
