    This was his quote prior to his bout with Porter.

    “All that other bulls— about sparring with Manny Pacquiao and all that, I don’t rate Manny Pacquiao as a very good fighter. I don’t rate him as a very intelligent fighter, actually. So all that other bulls— about the sparring and all that stuff, it really, for me, goes in one ear and out the other."

    He never seems to give Manny any credit at all. Makes me happy to watch Porter flatten Paulie after that disrespectful comment to a legend.:D

    Hes a ***** and a "corporate puppet".

    Plus his parents(Cotto and Hatton) were stopped by Pac.

    And he was stopped by two of Pac's sparring partners.

    Mans not entitled to an opinion?

    Also Ive seen him give Pacquiao credit and praise him before. He does however favor Floyd if any match up ever occurs

    Yes ive always noticed that as well .

    Its no question Paulie Idolizes Mayweather even going as far to say he would have beaten anyone in history .

    He also gets offended whenever someone brings up Floyds "loss" to Castillo in their first fight which the showtimes announcers bring up every now and then .

    Paulie quickly defends him .

    Heres an extract from Steve Kim's latest article where he talks about this.

    "Malignaggi, who was taken to the hospital and then released, has a nice soft landing for him at Showtime, where he has become a superlative boxing analyst. For my money, he’s the best commentator out of all the (ex-)fighters around. However, I did take exception to his pre-fight interviews in which he once again accused Manny Pacquiao of PED usage and was downright disrespectful of his upcoming foe. Here’s what I posted on Facebook on late Saturday evening:

    This was a bit of a [Karmic] KO of Paulie Malignaggi, who was very close to being slanderous of Manny Pacquiao and dismissive of his former sparring partner, Shawn Porter before their fight.

    It’s funny; while he was training at the Wild Card, Paulie wasn’t running his mouth or being so bold about his claims about Manny and PEDs (meanwhile, while never being bold enough to ever bring [those] issues up while on the Showtime pulpit) but suddenly as he was 3,000 miles away - well, he was suddenly the boldest guy in all of boxing.

    And by the way, he’s never done any real “extra” testing, himself, Paulie. I guess “Do as I say, not as I do,” is his philosophy. It’s funny how this comes about as he is aligned with Showtime and now, Al Haymon. It came off as being a corporate puppet, IMO.

    Then he gave Porter no respect. Well, we saw what happened.

    I like Paulie. I think he’s an excellent analyst and someone who made the most out of his ability and had a very good career. But he started to sound more and more like a corporate mouthpiece with a clear agenda leading into this fight based on who he was aligned with."

    He doesn't hate him but he can believe that someone his size was going to war with Cotto and cotto is the hardest puncher he faced those were his words.

    It was just Paulie psyching himself up for the Porter fight. Last time he was on Showtime he was getting belligerent with Brian Kenny and Kenny laughed it off pointing out that he could tell Paulie was training for a fight.

    It really means nothing.
