I think Paulie Mainaggi is at best an average fighter and anyone with any ability would love to get a shot at him.
With respect.. I think that Malinaggi know's his limitations. You can trash talk all you like, hype a fight up to something it's not.... Nor will never be - That's boxing.
Malinaggi was in the UK to commentate on Ricky Hattons comeback fight, he was making noises about fighting Hatton if ''He could find a window in his contractual calender..''... What Paulie was saying was - If after a three year booze binge, and snorting himself halfways to death, he might call the Hitman out, on the assumption that he was a shadow of his former self, and an acceptable risk''.
Sure Thurman called him out... Thurman knows there's an easy belt up for grabs... Don't you think Malinaggi has figured this out already..? Why not earn some serious bucks for being relieved of his belt... Who better than Broner to pay top dollar for the privlige??
Thurman is looking for the easiest fight he can - Why wouldn't he??
You don't get paid overtime in this game... It's not called the hurt business for nothing..
Malinaggi has good boxing skills and has a great chin but with the lack of punching power Thurman most likely will give him quite a hammering.
It's boxing. You get that all the time. Thurman is looking to step up without taking a huge risk. Paulie is an easy target as a bigger name, titleholder, good skilled fighter, but not really a threat to hurt anyone.
Thurman is trying to be all ghetto, and he failed as he is from Lilllyville, Florida.
But you gotta respect Paulie, he's the one with the belt, and you're not getting it by talking sh*t to him.
Paullie is the beltholder, and Thurman is a whiteboy who wish he had a ghetto upbringing
What do you guys think of the post-fight press conference argument between Malinaggi and Thurman
