I still think he could continue on being a contender and probably holding a lesser-known trinket belt, but given the fact that he has a great commentating gig he should quit while he still has his health.

The beatings he took from Cotto, Hatton, Khan and now Porter were brutal. Those are the dangerous losses like the one to Porter, where you're getting constantly rocked and getting hit with clubbing shots to the side and back of the head.
Shots Paulie should not be taking if he doesn't have to. But he said that the money they keep throwing at him to fight, and it has to be a good bit of money.

For the Broner fight, Paulie pocketed about 1.25 mil. I would assume for the Porter fight and the Judah fight, Paulie had to rake in over $500k for each appearance. Not a bad bit of change.
