[quote=TheBranMan;836164]While I don't have much respect for his punch power, I have grown to respect Malignaggi as a person. He spoke out about the suspicions concerning Pacquiao's methods, before half of boxing was curious. Now, despite a huge paycheck for a fight with one of the few boxers that I feel he has a shot at KOing, he speaks the truth in that Khan doesn't want to fight a dangerous puncher.

Fight Maidana Khan. You'll look like a fool if you duck yet another puncher. Once you defeat the puncher (if you don't get KTFO), then you can go on to face Malignaggi.[/quote]

I bet he is thinking the exact opposite. Paulie has a bigger name than Maidana especially in New York and Maidana is a riskier fight. Beat Paulie and then take on the riskier fight. I agree though Kotelnik, Salita, and now Paulie. Sense a pattern here?
