He's good enough to win the Italian welterweight title, he can get plenty of shagging in over there and enjoy himself a little now he only has to make 147. Good luck to him. Hopefully he doesn't do himself too much more damage, has a nice time in Europe and gives himself a bunch more options on what to do when he retires.
oH Man he would destroy Morales. Well, he'd embarrass him with his slapping right hands and jab. Morales looked pretty bad when he was fighting at WW. The fight he had was realy close for anyone that didnt watch it and Morales looked old, slow, but he never lacks heart,;) he''s still no force at ww though
I like Paulie and wish him well, but I just don't think going to WW to fight some Europeans means anything. He's decent and showed it against the former best LW in the world twice. Why not go there and see what he can do? It really make a lot more sense than this current suggestion.
He does need to re start again and this will give him the motivation to start again. he has little to offer at world level and at this weight but could earn some money and new way into a title fight.
A title fight against who? Paulie lost to Khan....Quote:

I think it's a good decision. There is no way he can compete at 140 with the division being so loaded, and if he stayed here in the US and tried to go to welterweight there's not many options out there. No way does he get a fight with manny, floyd, cotto at WW and the rest of the guys don't offer much of a payday for him. The only somewhat intersting fight at WW here would be Zab Judah. So why not go to Italy and fight a few more fight and have fun doing it. He's only 29 years old, not old enough to say he has nothing left, but not young enough to say he can rebound, especially here in the US. I wish him well.

paulie could keep going with his boxing career...
but i think it time for him to try something new...
he should join the cast of jersey shore for their third season
which they could film in italy. he'd fit right in!
