Mouth+skills=respect by most. This is a Floyd.
Mouth+limited skills=not much respect. This is Paulie.
limited skills and not much respect??

he`s only ever been completely out classed on 1 occasion. Hardly a guy with limited skills

People on here used to go f*cking nuts about diaz before powderpuff got a hold of him and made him look a very ordinary fighter

Malignaggi may talk some shit and act like a twat but to suggest he isnt talented enough to back it up is way off the mark
I know you want to defend Paulie because he is 1 of Hatton's biggest win I presume.

Actually Paulie got his ass kicked badly by Cotto, a weight drain Cotto with chin issues at 140 I might add. A 1 dimensional declining Hatton whom no one rates that highly outside of his country.

Paulie has always been a B- or C+ fighter. Never was elite or even good, but just decent. Slightly more skills than a Dmitry Salita but way better chin would sum it up.

Quick name me his biggest wins? If you have to say Juan Diaz and a shot Ndou, then I rest my case.
