That is completely beside what I said. I said he wasn't the great pure boxer he was made out to be. I said nothing about his heart.Originally Posted by Starr
My point is he went out there to back up every single word he spoke never quit or gave up when things weren't going his way and despite what he went through still won a few rounds. He impressed and earned a few fans. Most talkers just panic when things don't go his way. And for it to be Paulie's 22nd fight he got a headbutt cut, a broken jaw, orbital bone and nose. And he never quit and responded well. Can you name me any other prospect that had to face that and responded wellOriginally Posted by SecondRoundKO
But...and I'm not knocking Malignaggi, but he wasn't the pure boxer he was made out to be.Originally Posted by Starr
Don't know how you can say that after the effort he put forth. he actually attempted to back up the talk. Didn't you say he was weak and a puss and would crumble after the first hard body shot. he didn't crumble did heOriginally Posted by SalTheButcher
im not denying that, im just saying he sucksOriginally Posted by Starr
He isn't a quitter, why do you think everyone is respecting him, he kept trying against Cotto even when he went through all those difficultiesOriginally Posted by SalTheButcher

strickland is well known, there is a story about how he wouldnt get fights if he started beating people (because his record is bad) so he doesnt bother doing more then he has to do to test his opponents
and yes, there is a bigger bumhttp://boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=6945

(ps..check the link)
so please.. dont leave yourself so open in the futurethats dirty tactics...
the reason i say he is a bum isnt cuz he is a quitter, its because his only hope of beating a top fighter is by outboxing them, AND HE GOT OUTBOXED, AND EVEN OUT JABBED BY COTTO!!!
thats just not impressive, he proved he cant avoid punches from a slower less tactical opponent, IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN V spinks, hatton, judah, castillio, EVEN witter or Ndou would KTFO magalini...
and big vladdy dont quit, the end of the brewster fight showed he was willing to get up even if it meant he would die from exaustion...
now i must listen to todays stern show, GEORGE TAKAI IS BACK ALL WEEK!!!He didn't go into a shell or resort to dirty tactics he tried to WIN and kept trying to win till the final bell. Unlike some other fighters who love to talk trash
in fact he tried harder, you got to at least give props to him for that.
