Paulie is a fantastic overachiever.

I don't think over-achiever is the right word. If anything, he has arguably partly squandered his potential.

 

Pauli: If Pacquiao beat Cotto he will be the greatest ever. After Pacquiao beat Cotto.

Pauli: Pacquiao is on steroid

 

It depends on what you believe, but the whole McGirt situation basically. Fighting in the pocket too often and trying to counter, rather than using his speed and being the boxer-mover that made him most successful.

That's not to say he wins those fights, but how much worse did he end up looking because of it.

But certainly in some ways he's achieved quite a bit for not having all that much so I'm not going to outright disagree.

 

I'm surprised Paulie wasn't a more prominent amateur.
His style is perfect for the unpaid ranks.
Really happy for him,people always talk about lack of power but he's slick for a white boy.

 

he is of Italian dissent?

 

Magic man gets it done in hostile territory!

 

The dude is also tough as nails.

 

i was never really a fan of paulie, i can't stand the jersey shore image. but he earned my respect in the cotto fight. now imagine what we'd be saying about malignaggi if he had more of a punch. we would be mentioning his name up there with a lot of the elite fighters in the game today.

 

Do you talk about anything other than Pacquiao? wtf does this have to do with the thread?

 

omg shut the **** up. Pacquiao didn't fight today and doesn't even fight for another month

 

yeah winning a title with 1 hand and 0 K.O power and other hand broken 7+ times is overachieving
