    it depends how much power you're talking about, if he had Juan Urango's power and still boxed the way he does, he would be pretty damn good.

    I think there's a good chance he'd have had a better career than Zab.

    I've always felt that if Paulie had any power, he might have beat Cotto. If he had, his career would have unfolded in quite a different manner.

    If Paulie had more pop, he probably wouldn't have fought the way he did...with his chin, he would have stood and traded more; so who knows!

    He should get a strength Coach and work on building power in his training, probably too late now, but 5 KO's outta like 27 fights. I know he had hand problems, but damn he should realize he needs to work the heavybag a lil more.

    What if Juan Diaz had a velociraptor wearing a helmet that shoots lasers protruding from his chest?

    What if Hearns had an iron chin
    What if Leonard was still prime when he fought Norris?
    What if Holyfield was still 30?

    If Boxing is partially judged on clean effective punching, then of course the fight would go to Malignaggi if he had more power. That is the biggest arguement against Malignaggi in the fight. He was complete ineffective. While he threw a lot of punches, he missed most of them, and those that did connect did nothing. Even though Diaz threw less, the ones that he did hit Malignaggi looked more effective. Part of that could be Malignaggi turning his head with the blows but it just makes the punches look better.
