Notice after the Khan fight when he was being interviewed, he gave all credit to Amir, didn't make excuses for his own poor showing and congratulated him on the win. This is genuine Paulie, not ****in around and trash talking. On the whole, he is a good guy who's overall good for boxing.
I used to like and respect him until he called Hatton a clubfighter and then continued disrespecting Ricky even after he was completely outboxed and outclassed by him. After the jealousy-laden attacks on Pac I now just plain hate the guy and wish him a brutal beatdown every time he enters the ring. Tells it like it is my ass. He's a ***** that can't cut it at the top level who, instead of being humbled by his embarrassing defeats, just continues talking **** about great fighters that actually can fight. Especially those who showed him up for the **** **** he is, Pac and Hatton. *I think the reason he is popular is because he is such a weakling in the ring (sympathy, like the local ****** gets when he catches a football) and because he does take tough fights and can take a good beating
