I think he could outbox Diaz. Juan Manuel Marquez and Paul Malignaggi are world apart when it comes to counter punching. Marquez is someone who lets someone impose their will while he finds openings and eventually starts to beat them at their own game. Malignaggi operates behind a jab and ring generalship and Diaz hasn't had to deal with anyone thats a mover like that or that's going to stick the jab in his face like that. I'm picking Malignaggi by decision. One thing is for sure Diaz isn't going to knock him out. I think people are underestimating Pauls ring skills, but I want to see what this new trainer has done for him, apparently he is getting him back to the way he used to fight which is a good thing because if Buddy was still training him i'd have picked Diaz instead
When was the last time Paulie really controlled the distance? Last time I remember him doing that was the first N'Dou fight. Malignaggi has really failed in the jab department lately too. He tends to lean out of his jabs now and only throw one at a time.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
