Khan hopes to make his US debut against Malignaggi

[Hulk]

I think Malinaggi will kick Khan's ass.

I honestly believe that. Paulie can box just as well as Khan, and is much tougher and more seasoned.

He may get robbed once it goes to decision but he'll give Khan a good boxing lesson regardless.

Lets see Malignaggi is a fast punching counter puncher who gets out of the way of punches with a good jab to keep people at a distance and Khan sort of goes into a defensive shell when people throw and then throws back hoping they'll stand still and when they do his combos flurish. He is Juan Diaz without the proven chin and a lot faster with more power.

I actually think this is a bad style match-up for Khan, because Malignaggi could get off on that defense and be out of the way before Khan can throw his combination in return. Khan would have to fight outside of his style to beat Malignaggi. And in order to beat him he'd have to come forward, I don't see him out-countering him. Malignaggi may be a light puncher but he is as fast as Khan this could be a very good fight but its a bad style matchup for Khan. He'd do well against a Marquez type of style and defense, but Malignaggi is the kind of style he should stay away from.

Fair post.

I would have preferred to see a Marquez or Maidana fight, because I want to see that chin checked, but as far opponents go, Malignaggi is decent enough and has it in him to upset Khan. Also if Malignaggi can wobble Diaz, you can be certain he can even make Khan do the Harlem shuffle too. Bring it on. I like Malignaggi too, so it could be fun enough.

I think Khan is faster. I think he outspeeds him and wins a UD.

I would have preferred to see a Maidana fight, but Paulie is a good little fighter & I'll be backing him

[JJson]

I believe that Pauli can and will beat Amir Khan. Pauli's ability is underestimated because he fights so hyperactively. But he is good fighter, and just that little bit under great. If he had a punch he would be awesome.

[killersheep]

Khan's volume wins the day here, let's be honest Paulie isn't getting a KO, he doesn't have the reach advantage, and Khan has faster hands. Paulie has a chance, but he is a decided underdog against the younger, faster Khan.

He is a good fighter.

But is he is A LOT under great.

He's a contender/titlist level guy with a lot of heart and very little pop.

I used to vehemently hate Paulie but I've gotten where I respect and like the guy now.
