I like Paulie, he isn't anymore delusional than most boxers. He never claims to be the best. The only time he was really off was for the Hatton fight. Hatton completely had his number and even though he wasn't getting hurt very bad, McGirt stepped in and stopped it (wisely), while Malignaggi (ego-driven) wanted to go rounds. I think more so than anything else, Malignaggi was trying to have a selling point of "a guy who has never been stopped".
