Does Paulie Mallignagi Tell Too Many Home Truths For His Own Good?

[HattonTheHammer]

So when Khan says whatever he feels he's a prick, yet when Paulie does it, it's refreshing?

Khan comes accross as fake - One minute he'll trash talk somebody and the next he's on a big TV channel like ITV and he tries his hardest to be humble.

It's too obvious to me. He tried the whole "Well errr you know...hopefully the best man will win coz errr we're both warriors at the end of the day so errr...we'll see what happens on the night hopefully we just have a good fight" and you can just see him struggling to say nice things.

Paulie says what he wants and it always comes accross as genuine - I think that's the part I like about him. I don't have to think, "What is he REAAALY feeling/thinking?"

I think sometimes Khan's comments are taken out of context. To me, what he's said about Hatton seems as though he's said it in response to something he has been asked. Everytime i see him he seems polite enough and confident.

He's a young lad aswell and he's still obviously finding his own identity. I just think a lot of people take what he says a little too seriously and as a result, out of context.

With that said, i do like Paulie. He cracks me up, i enjoy listening to him and that Nintendo Wii advert he did was legendary.

Agree completely

Khan wins fans over with his humbleness and ability not to get involved in any trash talking. At the same time though that sort of shit he spouted out before his last fight saying that if he were white he`d be a household name wont do him any favours whatsoever and his old man was spot on for telling us all he`d been a silly boy for saying it early doors.

Ultimately i really have no opinion on a good fighter trash talking. Its the ones that cant back it up, audley, zab, rahman etc that annoy people because their mouths run before their brain does.

As many have said on here YES malignaggi has a hell of a mouth on him and will talk himself up to be something he isnt time and time again. But he is also well knowledged in this sport and doesnt feel the need to hold back. Thats the kind of reverse cockyness that actually wins you over fans
