    In recent interviews he's talked about himself having his love back, even through posts on Facebook he sounds like he's back to himself (as mad as that might sound)

    Paulie will lose this fight comfortably, that you can be sure. He's got no power to keep a bull like Juan Diaz off him, a guy who's constantly putting the pressure on and always throwing punches in bunches. Against a guy with only half decent movement and a jab like Paulie, that spells disaster. Malignaggi has literally no power punches, the only punch he has is the jab. And it's not even that good.

    i think paulie has a world class jab imo, its fast, quick, and crisp....he gave that mouse to hatton off just that in the first round.

    i agree, although you're giving paulie a little less credit than he deserves.

    Yuck- i hate people who just throw around top names and try to compare people who fight other people even decades apart.

    Malignaggi did GREAT in the amateurs!
    Malignaggi handily beat very able competitors! He won rounds against and didn't get KO'd by Cotto. He has had fractures 5 or so times and still fights. He is one of the fastest in the division.
    He has 2 losses to top 10 p4p guys- so you can't really even knock that!
    Diaz had best bring his A-game, because Malignaggi has the tools to pitch a shutout against him if Diaz doesn't bring the heat!
    Could go either way I think!


    IF Malignaggi wins- he is right back in title contention.

    The loser has a lot of trouble in his future-
    Thats what makes this fight exciting to me... both fighters should have desperation in them because it could be their last shot before going WAYYYY down the lists...

    my fav fighter today so i hope he wins. He can def win by wide UD if he uses good lateral movement and his good footwork.

    i see him fighting the winner of bradley/campbell if he wins

    this is like asking: if a pig is videoed flying across the skies, will it be on the news?

    If Paulie wins this fight, his career will possibly see another big fight, but it ain't going to happen.

    one thing for sure is paulie does not have a glass jaw

    that guy can take a beating. i dont think anyone that has anything negative to say about him could go 10 plus rounds with hatton or cotto.

    only wish he had the power to ko

    but who knows maybe diaz might come with a suprise
