I don't know why he gets no respect because Paulie can't punch, I mean can still box a bit after all.

All fighters struggle with certain styles, are we going to criticise Froch's choice of opponents in future every time he fights someone who isn't quick, elusive and slippery?

If Khan can outbox Malignaggi then he's proven himself capable of challenging for serious honours at 140 lbs.
I agree. Malignaggi is a step up for Khan and a logical choice of an opponent given Khan's progression in his last few fights. He'll beat him though, I just don't see anything in Malignaggi which would allow him to beat Khan. He's slick, but Khan is a fast, accurate puncher with a massively improved defensive game since signing on with Roach.
