    Who would you pick and why? Below are some things to consider.


    Guererro has elected to skip the 140lbs weight class, this may be a mistake.

    Paulie looked great in his last fight, but Senchenko was over protected, fought in straight lines and plodded forward.

    RG has just recovered from surgery.

    Paulie has struggled with world class fighters. Is the Ghost in that category?



    I understand that Paulie will likely box Alexander next, but I'd be very interested in seeing this one. What do you think?

    Guerrero may validly be considered a top 15-25 p4p type fighter, imo. I can't say that about Paulie, glad as I am for his recent success and impressed as I am that he got the job done, and in style. I'd have to give Guerrero the much better odds. Fresher, stronger and better.

    I think this would be a great bout to watch, both styles are easy on the eye when on form.

    I think Malignaggi can get the victory in this one, definitely (mainly because of my signature).

    Guerrero will win this.

    He will wear Paulie down.

    As a fan of both, hope they one day get to fight, also throw Alexander in the mix.

    I'd go with Guerrero, for reasons already stated.

    I see Paulie winning by SD. It could really go either way.

    Malignaggi would be best served by avoiding Guerrero, Alexander, and others like them.

    But he's prolly gonna fight Alexander and that will be the end of his 147 title run. I love Paulie but I think he's an overachiever and the Ukraine fight was smart match-making.

    I'd like to see how Guerrero looks at 147 first. It's one thing beating Katsidis at 135 but I can't see hi having the power to gain Paulie's respect and he'll be slower and smaller as well.

    Guererro win's quite easily, it'll be competitive for the first 4 rounds maximum, Paulie hasn't faced a legit south paw, maybe not a south paw at all, even though we haven't seen Guererro outside 135lb's, i think he'll still win.

    Guerrero is an elite level talent imo, the kind that's a just a level above what Paulie can deal with. I'd be cheering for Paulie all the way though....Guerrero by UD 9-3 type decision....Paulie gets cut the **** up and shows mad heart.
