    Hell yeah he is. There are worse people to model yourself on. The philly shell DOESN'T work for Paulie though, he needs to adopt a more conventional defense.

    How is he trying to idol PBF when Malignaggi said it was RJ that inspired him?

    Malignaggi is a student of boxing. Often, he can be found watching tapes of

    .
    "Nobody watches more tapes than me," Malignaggi said. "Basically, I watch anyone with great boxing skills and hand speed. I do this because I will be the best boxer in the sport one day, and those guys are among the best to study. Hopefully, by the end of the year I can win a regional title and get myself inside the top 10 or 15."
    "I have speed and great boxing skills," Malignaggi said. "But, I also feel I have the best jab in the sport. People sometimes knock my power because I do not have a lot of knockouts, but when people are in the ring with me they feel my power."

    Malignaggi is a student of the game but he needs to take a few more classes. He is basically a jab only fighter and half the time he doesn't even move correctly in the ring. Where are the combinations?

    He IS trying to be PBF, thinking he is the best fighter of all time, I will do this that and the other. Difference is, Mayweather can, and IS one of the all time greats. Paulie is an all time great in his own mind.

    Hatton would walk straight through his punches, and most decent lightwelters would do exactly the same. Witter, Torres spring to mind, as does Pac Man and Diaz at lighter weights.

    He seems more of a Naseem Hamed wannabe, without the power.

    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Forgot about Naz

    1. He is a wanker
    2. He thinks he is the best fighter of all time
    3. He is fast
    4. He looks like a gay lord
    5. He will probably end up in the slammer
