    He dropped 5 rounds to him in that second fight. It was far from an impressive performance


    He also got his face rearranged against a weight drained Cotto who couldn't go hard for 3 minutes a round like he does now.

    What does Paulie do well besides jab?

    He won 3-4 rounds on Cotto, Don't ****ing add rounds to that chump's attempt to Box a weight drained Cotto. He deserves props for going 12, but he did not win anymore than 4 rounds. Anyone who thinks the fight went 7 rounds to 5 is a ****ing complete ****.

    Good post. I forgot about Ortiz. He's another guy that I would pick to beat Paulie.

    What do you think happens if Paulie fights Cotto at 147(Paulie claims he wants to )? What happens at a catchweight of 145?

    It was his last ****ing fight at 147lbs, he was at his ****ing worst in that fight, refer to the weigh in the ****er had no liquids in him. Do you know what that feels like? Weight draining feels like your body has a hang over from drinking 40oz of liqour all night, NO LIQUID.

    Maliagnaggi fought a Cotto that could only fight in spurts because he did not have the stamina to fight him nonstop. They should rematch at 147lbs and Malinaggi would go R.I.P in the ring.

    Victor Ortiz would concave Malignaggi's facial bones the same way Cotto did. Ortiz can ****in CRACK!


    omg man what I would give to see Ortiz vs Figueroa as an elimination bout for a title shot or some kind of increase in their rankings. Both southpaw, 1 Mex 1 PR... 1 is a puncher/boxer 1 is a puncher/slickster....omg fight of the year written all over that ****.

    No, he's not. I'll take Peterson, Holt, and Figueroa over Malignaggi. Bradley is probably better than him as well.

    ...but according to you that hopless version of Cotto who "can't fight for a full 3 minutes" at 140, beats a prime Hatton. :rofl

    I agree.
    Malignaggi hasnt shown ****.
    I think the whole top ten at 140 can kick his ass.

    I never said he was hopeless. I said he was weight drained and couldn't go hard a full 3 minutes. That's about the only version of Cotto that Hatton could possibly beat. Non weight drained, 140 lb. Cotto whoops up on prime Hatton. 147 Cotto puts Hatton in the hospital.

    Malignaggi is overrated, no doubt whatsoever.

    Holt has lost one of his last 3 and is yet to defend a title even once.

    Bradley? Would that be the Bradley who has only ever faced one top 50 opponent ever?

    Peterson, he isn't even a top ten contender and neither is Figueroa. Neither are even title holders. Until they up there competition and pick up a title there quality is near impossible to judge.
