    Yes, anyone who gets beat only by Hatton, and Cotto can be beaten by anyone. Fraud, exposed,... etc etc

    paulie is faster(of foot&hand) & with junior's workrate(or lack of it) i could see malignaggi landing the jab all night.also junior is naturally orthodox&the way he switches is often telegraphed(ie easy to see comin)so junior's stance wouldnt be a factor imo,i see it as a guaranteed distance fight&could see malignaggi sweepin rounds 5-10 when junior switches off as he near enough always does.so id tentatively pick malignaggi to win by 2/3 rounds.

    Witter should have no problem beating Paulie, but Witter seems to make things hard for himself and if Paulie can perform the way he performed against Cotto then Paulie could take this via close decision..

    It would be a boring fight.
    I think it would be one sided but could go either way.

    Witter would never initiate because he NEVER initiates. So, if Witter can successfully counter off of one of the fastest jabs in the game today... then Witter will shut out paulie. I don't think he can do that all night, so PM UD.

    I'll go with Malignaggi by decision, but I do believe Witter can beat Malignaggi.

    But a fighter who relies on a jab and is out before a counter can occur certainly is a disadvantage for Witter.

    While Paulie's style isn't an advantage to him, his style is a disadvantage for witter. It will draw witter out of his element of counterpunching- albeit Witter is one of the best of those in the game today.

    He could beat him, but on his last performance he probably wouldnt beat Malignaggi.
