No it's not because of that Majesty, it's because of the details in his contract and has 0 to do with either fighter so don't paint it like anyone is scared. And who would be scared of Paulie anyways? Shit I don't even think I would be afraid of him![]()
People mock Malignaggi too easily, sure the guy has limited pop. But he has done very well getting as far as he has with nothing to intimidate fighters with. The Cotto performance showed that he's got a chin and can win rounds against the very best. Malignaggi gets put down because Hatton whooped him and because everyone in turn puts down Hatton these days. They are both better than that and on their day can beat anyone in the division.
I really wouldn't be all that surprised to see Malignaggi put Khan on the canvas, Khan might not stay there but Malignaggi has it in him to do that. I can also see Malignaggi taking his share of the rounds too. It's a tougher fight for Khan than some are expecting. Malignaggi has looked good again recently and if he is in the same form he was against Cotto then Khan is in for a rough night.
BTW, I don't think I would be scared of Malignaggi either, but the stick on dreadlocks might well give me a fright.
If the fight does happen I think we should start taking bets on whether or not Paulie can drop con boy. It's a possibility but Paulie is so feather fisted that it's hard to gauge if he can do it in this fight.
I'd like Paulie to take Khan.
I'd be happy for him. Always calls it how it is and is a decent, under-rated boxer. The low point of his career was losing to Hatton as Miles said because people don't rate Hatton either.
I still think if he had a more offence minded game-plan he would have had a different night with Hatton but we'll never know.
