No doubt. I wonder how long it will be for him to live down the losses he was robbed with.

As for Paulie, he is making a mockery of championship boxing with the hair incident, he's been extremely metro in the ring, which is fine, but this was overboard. Surely there's a rule somewhere about extensions. Paulie has not impressed me lately maybe it's his hands and just too screwed up, maybe he is just too distracted. Whatever it is he has not performed well lately.

While I agree Paul Malignaggi is one of the best 140lb fighters in the world I have to admit he brings the criticism upon himself. You can't be as outspoken as he is then not expect people to look for any little reason to poke fun at you or try to take you down a notch or two.

The hair thing was just a bone head move. At minimum he should have made sure it was wrapped in a tight bun like Lennox Lewis and Shannon Briggs used to do. That incident will follow him forever.

I just really don't want this to be the face of the future of boxing.
