    Khan will lose to Maidana. I think Bradley might be an easier fight.

    I respect Malignaggi for his boxing, and I know its all hype but he just comes off to ***gy for me. Maybe its a NY thing (the hair and clothes) that I just don't get. No one has ever called me fashionable...

    I wish him the best and hope he made enough to retire comfortably.

    Paulie is a mixed bag, and just like hatton, and gatti, will be looked upon favorable when he hangs them up....Guys with limited skills, that couldn't match the heart....

    I personally think the lawsuits are going no where....

    "BS stoppage" says the guy with a Paulie Malignaggi avatar...Paulie didn't seem to mind the stoppage too much. Sure, they could have let him make it to the final bell, but he didn't complain, so why are you? He was thoroughly getting his ass spanked, and he NO hope of turning things around, so why shouldn't it have been stopped? It was about to be stopped in between rounds, but he was allowed to go on, and did absolutely nothing to warrant it NOT being stopped.

    I get a kick out of guys who see their fighter lose every single round, and when the fight is stopped late, they can say nothing more than "BS stoppage." The same thing was done by Cotto fans after the Pacquiao fight.

    When a fighter gets beaten for 11 rounds and has no chance of winning, there is nothing wrong with a mercy stoppage. one round can make a world of difference in a fighters long-term health.

    I picked pacquiao in that fight, and didnt have a "dog" in that fight...but I also thought it should have continued, but that was a blood bath, not this fight.....totally different subject...

    Khan was cruising anyways...

    It was a good stoppage, it wasn't a damage stoppage or a danger stoppage but a stoppage based on percentages, Malignaggi's only hope was that Khan would throw a big shot miss and he would land a counter while Khan was off balance, and Khan would go flying through the ropes and land onto the floor. But since that occurring is like AngloSaxon not being gay, they stopped the fight.

    didn't see it as a BS stoppage. khan was winning the fight and paulie was lossing every round and had no chance of winning. a BS stoppage is just an excuse if your fighter gets outclassed and had nothing to do to win the fight.

    Taking nothing away from khan, but as I said before paulie has reputation of not hurting people, so it encourages a stoppage if its a one-sided fight more so then other fighters...

    Smoger said, you have to show me something, imo he fired enough, was coherent, and moved enough to protect himself from a ref stoppage...khan was on cruise control anyways.....but paulie did enough to come out for the 12th, its all subjective, and I wasn't there live...

    I think he whould have been allowed to go Khan was slowing down but to protect the fighter Paulie took a beating and he was never gonna KO him

    Come on. He was done. He couldn't stop anything Khan was doing. No sense in him taking more of a beating. He would have been stopped. I don't see him finishing the fight the way things were going. And he was definitely hurt.

    Neutral party here. But wanted to give the thumbs up. Takes a lot to see past our favourites and hatred. I think the stoppage was spot on. Paulie has the heart of a lion but his face look pretty battered. Good showing by Khan. Nice addition to 140 group.
