Thread: Paul Malignaggi.....how good is he and what are his chances against Cotto?

Ive never seen him fight, is he good and does he stand a chance against Miguel Cotto?

thxs

Paul is a good boxer. He has some speed but he's lacking in the power department.If he gets caught with anything big he will probably go down but it is not out of the question for him to outbox cotto.Cotto is so overratted. I've never seen a so called CHAMPION fight so many second-tier opponents and actually get praise for it. People like to say hes a warrior because of the Torres fight but no one likes to mention that he shouldn't have been in that kind of trouble with that kind of fighter in the first place. Cotto is a lost waiting to happen but it probably won't come at the hands of Paul.I don't think he has enough power.

thxs for the info MRMANICK, appreacitiate it

I'm really fond of Paulie in the ring. He's got some skills & the kid is fast...but Cotto will have to catch him at one point or the other. Neither one of these have faced anything like the other...but I expect Paulie to come up short. Cotto catches him & it's all over. A few body shots will slow Paulie down & without the speed & no power...he's fwocked.

Paulie has a good jab, pretty good handspeed, and his pretty slick.

There is a possibility that he could outbox Cotto for 12 rounds, but if Cotto catches him with a good body shot or on the chin, I don't know what would happen because Paulie has never been tested before. Paulie has fought bascially shitty opponents and his last opposition was no different.

Etheir Paulie will upset Cotto by outboxing him for 12 rounds or Cotto knocks him out and Paulie goes back to playing Gatti on the reality show.

Paulie's not winning this fight. I think he has the talent to outbox Cotto, but if he gets caught with a good clean shot to the chin or body, he's gonna be hurt. And if Paulie actually goes 12 rounds, do you think those judges are actually gonna give Paulie a decision over Cotto? Paulie's gotta be what he is, a slick boxer, and really work that New York crowd and impress those judges because there's no chance of him KOing Cotto.

I think Paulie's gotta a real good chance, I don't like Paulie, but with his style, quick hands and quick feet, I think he has a real good chance. I'm gonna check the odds, if they're good I'll bet on Paulie. Doesn't mean I for sure think he'll win but its very winnable for him IMO

It seems like alot of posters are selling Cotto short. This fight will not go 12 rounds...no way. Cotto WILL eventually catch Pauli and it will be lights out. I think this is a huge mismatch and Cotto will gain no respect in KO'ing one of the long lost Gatti boys.

Mailignaggi is decent and like someone said, neither guy has faced someone with the style of the other and it will be interesting to see how Cotto handles a boxer/mover but I mean Miguel,from his career so far, can do practically anything(front foot,back foot,really aggressive etc) and he has enought lateral movement of his own to catch Malignaggi and punish him. I expect a late tko from Miguel.
