He took his loss like a man and admitted he wasn't the better man on the night, but did himself proud, and for periods of the fight he was winning well, and backing up all of his talk, he just couldn't sustain it. I'm most definatly a big fan of his now, and I have great respect for him. I respect all boxers for getting in the ring cos at one time or another they were all underdogs, and put their bodies on the line. It takes unbelivable courage.
EXACTLY!!! Thats why I said it annoys me that people could still call him a punk or hate on him after what he did
what did he do? run his mouth and then gets his a$$ kicked...wow impressive what a stand out guy...he got what he deserve...sorry but thats true...just like tarver...
Did Tarver even stand a chance against Hopkins in that fight? When things weren't going Tarver's way, he went into a shell and gave up the fight. Things didn't go Paulie's way he fought on and fought hard, and fought his best and never ever gave up or conceded the fight to Cotto. Of those two Magic Man only Paulie has the championship heart. He has been through things that Tarver can't even imagine except for a broken jaw, and when Tarver had a broken jaw he gave up, against the light punching Eric Harding. malignaggi gets one against the hard punching Cotto and he fights harder! He had every intention of backing up his words. I don't respect a trash talker who goes into the ring and only tries as long as thing go their way and the little bit of adversity they give up and punk out.. those are the trash talkers I don't respect. The kind I do is those that go in there TO BACK UP every word, and they try their hardest to win, Paulie dug as deep as he could for that fight and I respect him for that more then I would have if he had won an easy decision, he gained more respect from me in losing then he ever could have from winning an easy decision. All credit to Malignaggi for that. Cotto won the fight but Paulie won the event It's just you haters that try to cloud over it and still belittle what he did when you know damn well if you were facing what he faced you would have been out early.

But then again, you said Pacquiao would beat Mayweather didn't you?
This isn't about Punkie Mallinagi, it's about the winner and still champ, Cotto. Don't forget who won. Who made another man fear him and hold on from the fear of not getting knocked out or having any more body parts broken. Just cause he stood in the middle of the ring doesn't mean he was going toe to toe. Did you see how he would hold and lean his body so far over that his face was damn near touching the mat to avoid being further debilitated by Cotto's body shots? Guess you missed that part. It was domination.
