man any normal person bigger than him can take his best shot ... a regular man can walk through his **** and if the non boxer can throw a straight punch then he has a great chance of landing some blows.
Bull****. Normal guys wouldn't take his punch. Just have a look at these muppets in street fights who floor each other/KO each other with wild arm punches.
He does lack chin ... he was knocked down a few times against Cotto ... Cotto couldn't finish him ... If Cotto wouldve taken his heart away and never let him confident - then it wouldve been an easy night for Cotto. Anyone with 5KO's on his resume is only a stoppage waiting to happen ... Cotto made many mistakes in that fight ...
I think Paulie is a very good boxer, but not a very good fighter. In this I mean a lack of KO's etc, he does have a good chin, but lacks the power to keep a relentless brawler off him. OK he went 12 with Cotto, but the 140 version of Cotto and the 147 one seem to be two different animals (we in UK see little of Cotto!). Judging by the weigh in photo, Cotto was severely weight drained, which would clearly have an impact on his power. That said, Paulie showed a lot of heart in that one apparently, but he will be exposed come the Hatton fight in November, mark my words. Here you would have a hungry fighter, not weight drained, perfectly suited to the division in which he is fighting, up against a guy not powerful enough to keep him off - Hatton has fought movers and shakers before at 140, and as we all know, rarely looked like losing.
He doesn't hit hard ... a normal man can take his **** ... his biggest asset is his heart, speed, and limited boxing ability. This man can't punch his way out of a wet paper bag ... and if the normal guy can throw straight punches ... he will be able to land ...
you must have never seen this guy fight. Those muppets are bareknuckled also. Paulie has jello fists.
Uh, Cotto knocked him down only once with a short left hook in the second round. Hardly a 'few times' Again, lack of power does not mean you have no chin.
Knocking out professional boxers is completely different than trying to KO a bum in a street fight, Malignaggi would KO you and your whole family.
Malignaggi isn't a good boxer and is a better fighter than people give him credit for ... I haven't seen him outbox anyone and he often times resorts to brawling.
so if the 5'6 Malignaggi steps up to a 6'0 person on the street at worst the bigger guy gets his hands on him and wrestle him down. Yeah it would look sweet to see Malignaggi tag him but it would only be a matter of time before his true colors showed.
