    I don't want to spoil anyone's party here but he's got a mandatory. Ngoudjo.

    Once he fights Ngoudjo, he can fight whomever he wants I don't care, I want to see him fight his mandatory first.:hat

    Juan Lazcano would be a good fight. Or Witter. I just hope Paulie doesn't call out every big name while settling for lesser fighter, and ignoring guys who are closer to his level.

    He needs to fight his mandatory first, Ngoudjo. Then he should fight the winner of Witter-Harris, or the winner of Torres-Holt for another belt.

    With Hatton being wrapped up at welter(Mayweather and probably De La Hoya) and Castillo on the slide, the jr welterweight divisoin is lacking in big name fighters. If Malignaggi were to unify some of the belts he could be a big ticket fighter at 140. Him in with the winner of Witter-Harris or Torres-Holt make for good, winnable, belt-unifying match-ups. Those fights would give him credibility and increase his marketability.If he can't get unification than one of the veterans with a name like Castillo or Casamayor would make for smart moves.

    A fight with Judah would be great to watch and winnable for Paulie, Zab is a small welter so he could probably get down and would be advised to do so if he wants a belt or two.

    It's funny to read people trying to not understand he has a mandatory first.

    It's the same as the thread where people were asking who should Dawson fight next. I was saying that he had to fight his mandatory but all the americans over here were telling me that a mandatory can be ducked and that Dawson should fight a big name.

    Well, it's a scoop, you will be able to say you heard it here first, Ngoudjo WILL fight Malignaggi and win the belt from him, so you can stop your ifs and buts, he will not fight Casamayor, Judah or the pope. It stops with Ngoudjo. :rofl

    I reckon the winner of witter-harris, or the jcc jr. But he could fight Hatton because hatton really wants to headline at MSG, and with Malignaggi being from new york, that would be a right good atmosphere.

    It doesnt matter he sucks anyway and he is boring. He looks like a model not a fighter look at his eyebrows.
