beggining to think i was on my own for a moment there

Paulie did every single thing required of him saturday night yet once again barely a shred of praise on here. Had diaz of won posters would of been creaming themselves to praise him. Yet not a single PM appreciation thread (i cant be the only guy who was roaring "paulie" "paulie" at my pc screen on sat??)

Diaz isnt all of a sudden a bad fighter. But for the second time in a row he got outclassed by a far better fighter who is destined to spend his career as an also ran because of boxing politics!!
That's not true. It's because Paulie talks a lot of trash and has virtually nil to back it up in the power department. It's a fact: if you knock guys out people will put up with your trash talk. Or even if you brawl and deck guys who don't stop coming. Paulie has 5 KOs in his entire pro career and talks as if he's already in the boxing hall of fame. If he talked a little less while outpointing fighters he'd be given a lot more of a benefit of the doubt. When Paulie is on his game he's Mayweather-light, but in the mouth department he's Mayweather-heavy, but he doesn't come close to being Floyd. There's no threat to him, no menace. Even when Shane was going through a KO drought he was still a guy who had a good deal of menace. You knew if the proper opportunity came he was going to hurt someone. I might lose, but I would have no fear of fighting him as a 6' tall, 175lb out of shape guy. Paulie is like 90% of the guys who talk trash on the street: it sounds good to the ear, but there isn't too much to back it up. I respect the hell out of him for beating Diaz, but look at how Juan was beating guys. He wore fighters down to nubs and made them quit. He'd hit guys with 4 and 5 punch combos and made opponents look like they were standing still. And he wasn't doing it against scrubs, either. His problem is he's easy to figure out if you are a slick fighter and he was ready-made for someone like Paulie.
