Since when did Malignaggi become an elite or top level fighter??

since when??

since the day he survived a beating from cotto i guess

:yep :yep :yep

 

Since he put up a great fight against Cotto and had it pretty close until his stupid corner told him he was way behind which wasnt the case. If he would of boxed like he normally does it could of been a close decision. Plus he took the title away from Ndou who alot of people DUCKED including Ricky Hatton. How isnt he a top level fighter? He probably has the fastest hands in the junior welterweight division. And probably one of the best pure boxers in the junior welterweight division not to mention he has a very good chin.

 

This forum is filled with non-believers.

 

Seems like wishful thinking for a Gatti replacement.

 

i like paulie, the kid has what it takes to back up his talk...including a good chin....he lacks the power so i dont really know why he says he will ko chavez jr...ahaahahahahahaha chavez jr gots granite chin just like daddy.....

either way, i like it and atleast he's willing to fight...

 

He took the beating Cotto gave him like a man, plus he took care of N'dou.

 

I don't think too many people are calling him elite, are they? He's top 5 at 140 though.

 

I have nothing against Malignaggi but I'm kinda pissed that he doesn't seems interested in fighting Ngoudjo.

Of course it does help that Showtime told them that they wouldn't accept Ngoudjo as an opponent.

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!

The guy had two tough competitive fights on HBO and ESPN. What more does Showtime want?!

 

How do you define "elite"? He's certainly not a pound-for-pound elite or a linear champ, but he's a top five guy in his weightclass right now.

 

its a pretty weak weight class at the moment.

 

Since he gave Cotto a good fight and then became a beltholder.

 

dude, he whooooooooooped his ass and even dropped him....what else do you want....

 

IMO hes not eleite yet....hed good...skilled, but he has not beaten n elite figher yet....i have more respect for him after he showed heart against Cotto though....good fight
