    The Magic Man is an excellent boxer. However, I don't expect that he will be the second coming of Willie Pep. He is a tough kid though and a fine fighter.

    Pleaze. He is the most power-lacking boxer I've seen. Skill is decent but nobody's gonna respect you in the ring if you can't throw a punch.

    Paulie Malignaggi better get the power going. He has the skill, will and footwork. By next year, he'll be ready to get a rematch with Cotto and fight other top boxers.

    He might do decent against other good boxers, but I don't think he'll ever be really praised by the public, he has the shittiest attitude and is one of my least favorite people to look at/listen to...

    He has the skills and needs to be in a great fight to see if he's the next great boxer.

    Paulie is an excellent boxer. Herman was not robbed by any means and I truly believe that Paulie had an off night. He didn't start pumping his jab until the second half of the fight; which is when he took over. Paulie is no hype-job and will give us great fights for many years to come

    Since when do you have to have "devastating power" to be an excellent boxer? Did Willie Pep suck in your opinion?
