I think the odds against Paulie were just outright insulting and I always knew Paulie would put up a fight as he should do against a man moving up two weight divisions. My only problem is that Paulie started a little too fast against a known slow starter. He could have done less to bank those first 4 rounds and be fresher later.

Having said that, Broner is definitely overrated, but I have never rated him. He clearly doesn't carry all that much power into this division and he is lazy. He takes so much time off in a 36 minute fight. Paulie did the best he can, but he doesn't have the power to make you respect him. Other fighters at 140/147 will do much better than Malignaggi based on power alone. Khan would bamboozle Broner, though probably get rocked his usual 3/4 times. Matthyse and Maidana would flatten him.

Broner/Judah would be a fair next fight and that would be interesting. Judah hates being stalked down, but there is no doubt that Judah could land his money punches through that leaky guard.

Next coming of Mayweather, my arse! Paulie landed over 200 punches. On that basis alone Ricky Hatton is more Floyd Mayweather than Adrien Broner.
