I look at this guy as a much more vocal Sergio Mora. I think he could beat Sergio, but I see Malinaggi being a guy who will never beat a big name in boxing. He'll be an "always good but never great" fighter.
Nahh gotta disagree bro.. I think he'll get better as he fills out.. Frankly light welter might be too high a division for paulie..Maybe he would be more powerful at a lower weight..

Mcgirt has mentioned previously that they want to work on paulies technique and power.. Maybe he'll get better as he goes on.. I cant see many people at light welter defeating him..

Although the good but never great thing is not just about paulie..Its about what the division has to offer paulie.. Which is not a reat deal as far as legacy building fights is concerned..
Which is why a lighter division would be a decent but unlikely option
