Paulie did every single thing required of him saturday night yet once again barely a shred of praise on here. Had diaz of won posters would of been creaming themselves to praise him. Yet not a single PM appreciation thread (i cant be the only guy who was roaring "paulie" "paulie" at my pc screen on sat??)
Diaz isnt all of a sudden a bad fighter. But for the second time in a row he got outclassed by a far better fighter who is destined to spend his career as an also ran because of boxing politics!!
In reality Diaz has lost four of his last five ( yes im including the first Paulie win ) What did you expect people to come out and say wow Paulie your a legend slayer? He did what everyone expected.
Bradley would easily beat Malignaggi wouldnt even be competitive, I think Devon Alexandar beats him to Paulie is decent fighter who just drops short imo when it comes to the big boys.
paulie narrowly lost to cotto
do you honestly believe tim bradley or devon alexander would do better than paulie malignaggi did against miguel cotto??
Narrowly? He got smashed to pulp and even got his jaw mashed, he won the minimum rounds allowed to save a part of the honors.

I think he could beat Maidana, Torres, Urango, D Hopkins etc. He and Lamont Peterson would be a tough one to call imo. I think Khan would probably outbox him quite handily, Hatton beats him again, etc.
no...please continue as you were originally
Malignaggi beat a noboby (diaz easily beats hatton)
Oh please.. Diaz isn't a nobody but he's clearly not fighting with the same fire as he was in past fights, he hasn't looked good since the Katsidis fight.. This was an excellent matchup for Paulie as well, since Diaz can't punch or cut off the ring. He's a swarmer with a high output, just the kind of guy a one dimensional outside jabber like Malignaggi is going to look impressive against. He got his ass kicked against Hatton because Ricky had nothing to worry about and could utilize much better infighting skills and quicker feet, plus Hatton has pop. Hatton smokes Diaz as well clearly, especially on his recent form(Juan's). Bradley is a much different animal, and I think he's the best fighter at 140 currently. It's not because Hatton is from England, that ok with you?
Re: What next for paulie??
paulie won at least 4 rounds against cotto by my card. And a couple were close, i dont think he was that far off, netiher did the judges!
he is a very very talented guy imo, bradley, as a said imo is a very good fighter, but if both on good days, paulie runs rings around him imo, espesh is kendal flippin holt put him down twice

Kendall Holt is a good fighter with plenty of power so don't know why you say it as if it was a negative, Bradley has since improved even more and IMO no one can really touch the guy at 140
