If the fight does happen I think we should start taking bets on whether or not Paulie can drop con boy. It's a possibility but Paulie is so feather fisted that it's hard to gauge if he can do it in this fight.

I'd like Paulie to take Khan.
I'd be happy for him. Always calls it how it is and is a decent, under-rated boxer. The low point of his career was losing to Hatton as Miles said because people don't rate Hatton either.
I still think if he had a more offence minded game-plan he would have had a different night with Hatton but we'll never know.
I'm sure people have tuned me out by now when it comes to Malignaggi but whatever.
I actually think at this point in his career Malignaggi is overrated simply for what he did to Diaz. It was a really good win, and I do admit he at least won this time, but at 140 he is nothing special imo. I'd say middle of the top 10 pack. People make him out to be a slick defensive guy but he actually catches a lot of punches for a guy who is supposedly 'slick.' He outhustled Diaz on his feet, all footwork imo and that's great but I beg people to go look at his fights with Cotto, Hatton, Ngoudjo and his second with Ndou before picking Malignaggi here. I know he had hair extension problems (that douche actually tried to play that off as if it was his real hair to), and he hurt his left hand and that somehow allowed Ndou to not miss a single right hand.
I've never been a Khan fan, ever, but if it comes down to Marquez, Maidana or Malignaggi, I would certainly pick Malignaggi if I wanted to give him the best chance to win.
Khan has got everything figured out, seriously he should write a book called My Life: LOL at you sorry fucks
He's got a 1 million dollar guarantee from Golden Boy?Really? He's got 20 some odd fights, he's already been brutally knocked out by a future journeyman, and he barely missed a beat. Since then he's had some brilliant matchmaking, is a world champ and can pick and choose fights already like he's some sort of star. He's not even really an exciting fighter either (granted I know that's debatable.) For what its worth I am not "hating" on him at all, I even contemplated becoming a fan to annoy Missy, like I said he has it all figured out and none of us would turn down large piles of money just cause some people felt maybe we had everything handed to us on a platter.

I read an article on boxing scene, I'll have to look for the link, but it stated GBP guaranteed Khan 1.25 million and HBO offered 1.5 million for the entire card. These numbers are all speculation because only those directly involved see the contracts. GBP is overstating his status in the states, give him exposure as a cofeature first, then based off that give him a main event.
At any rate if these numbers are true, that leaves $250K for Paulie.
Here's the link: Khan-Malignaggi Back in Play; Promoters Frown at HBO - Boxing News
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Who is khan?
