Does Paulie Mallignagi Tell Too Many Home Truths For His Own Good?

[Gandalf]

Malignaggi comes across as decent guy on the whole, but he has obviously never got over the Hatton fight. It was a proper drubbing and Malignaggi is too proud to just admit that Hatton was just too good. I like him though and hope he can continue to build on the post Hatton showings.

I saw on some video that even that Amir Khan prick has got onto the anti Hatton bandwagon by calling Hatton "one dimensional" at some press conference. God, I hate Amir Khan. The guy is so incredibly thick and clearly doesn't think before speaking. I truly hope he fails miserably in this tranatlantic crossover. Send him back to England where apparently everyone is into him! Surely they aren't....

Sorry for hijacking the thread with that! I like the way Paulie says whatever he feels. It's refreshing to have that in boxing where it's either too respectful or just out and out trash talk.

So when Khan says whatever he feels he's a prick, yet when Paulie does it, it's refreshing?

I knew someone would call me out as soon as I reread my post. I didn't explain myself fully and see the contradiction. Apparently things are supposed to be pretty cool between Khan and Hatton so I don't think it is right for Khan to say that about Ricky. Khan was a little rattled by Malignaggi and just came out with it, but it was uncalled for IMO. You don't slag off people you are supposedly cool with and especially on a public stage like that.
