"I believe I’m the faster fighter. If I get hit on chin, I’m not going to wobble. If Amir Khan starts wobbling, I hope they have a pillow for him in the corner, because he’s going to sleep. I’m going to enjoy sinking my punches into Khan. Some fights are just business, but not this one. I’m going to enjoy every punch I land."

If Amir Khan starts wobbling
whoa Paulie. Even with Khan’s chin that’s about the most unlikely ever.
"Yes Gina, I am a Wise Cracker"
Hey Paulie stunned Juan Diaz
It surprised Paulie about as much as it surprised all of us, but if Khan takes him too lightly like Diaz did, he’ll get caught. Paulie saying he’ll get aggressive is probably not true though, he’d probably try to run circles around Khan with his tongue out
Paulie looks like more of a Jersey Shore douchenozzle than usual, but ditto, Khan has major chin issues and stranger things have happened.
Dude...
If Paulie knocks him out, then Khan’s chin is worse then we thought.
Khan's chin could take Kotelnik's best punches
it’s absurd to say Paulie’ll knock him out. I got Khan KO 11
Kotelnik hit him?

Kotelnik barely touched him. Nothing in that fight was one of Kotelnik’s best punches.

you can see it at boxrec.com…his first 3 fights were ko’s, and the last ko he had was in Aug of 2003 (Kevin Watts). I think he’s broken his hand before and has had problems bc of that.

Paper Chin vs KO-less Punch
It will interesting to see Malignaggi’s lack of KO power against Khan’s paper chin.
Personally I think Khan will end this one quickly.

Wide decision seems more likely to me
But I am beginning to expect that Khan shall be dominant.

Well, one thing Paulie is right about is his own chin. Paulie has a rock-solid beard and hands made out of Brie cheese.

I know boxing is about a whole lot more than ko’ing someone, but I cant take fighters like Paulie and Yuri Foreman seriously. I mean they have 5 and 8 ko’s respectively. At NO point during a fight will they have someone in trouble. Never. I mean power isnt everything, but they fight like olympic boxers
paulie is just a boxer in the sense that PBF is just a boxer. now obv i’m not comparing the two, but you won’t see PBF fighting for a KO too often. he clearly the beat the shit of chico, gatti, etc, but his still is geared towards dominating you for 12 rounds with some great boxing. the same with paulie. even if paulie had KO power I doubt he’d change shit up much differently

Hasegawa had 7 KOs in 23 wins before his recent streak
Paulie can’t punch hard because of his hands, but Foreman has a little bit of pop. He just chooses not to use it most of the time.

Beat me to it. Foreman will never be an ice merchant, but he can certainly adapt his style to become a bigger hitter if he chose to. Paulie on the other hand has cursed hands and Mayweather can only knock a guy out if the guy lets him, (or even helps him do it, like Hatton did.) May only has a couple of pure icings on his record, and they mostly came early on.

Paulie’s a good boxer with a solid chin and great movement, but he couldn’t wobble a bobblehead with brass knuckles.

This fight reminds me of Oscar de la Hoya vs. Hector Camacho. A guy with skill and power versus a guy with skill and no power. Like Camacho, Paulie has a quality beard, so the outcome of this one is obvious: UD12.
Of course, the difference is that Oscar had one of the greatest chins in recent boxing history, whereas Khan has one of the worst chins in recent boxing history (at least among top-level fighters). Still, I agree: UD12.
Early in his career, Oscar was tagged with the reputation of having a weak chin because he was decked early in his career (by Narciso Valenzuela, if I remember correctly.) But I agree with you, taco— Amir Khan is no Oscar De La Hoya, not by a long shot. Amir really DOES have a poor chin and his handlers are already going through great lengths to protect it.
It sure makes me hateful!

“Haten” spells Douche with a capital Bag, I mean what culture virus infected him to create that shirt. Whatever happened to good old fashioned "hatin’ ", it used to be that when you wanted to make a word “slangy” you dropped the g off the end and left it at that. Now people are deliberately misspelling things to douche them up, what’s the language come to?
Stop Hater...
doesn’t make sense.
It’s “Stop haten me.”

…Which also, I guess, doesn’t make sense. It seems like the quickest way to inspire hatred is to wear something as dumb as that.

I think that is the desired effect
It could be seen as rather clever irony, however I highly doubt that Malignaggi is up to that!

True that, but he koed his last 4 before Montiel and showed he was developing power, and he uses it.
All the shit talking is awesome
It’s cracking me up and honestly it is making me want to watch this fight even more.
Earlier today, Paulie called Freddie Roach an egomaniac. He’s on a real hot streak.

There's an entire feature-length documentary that's just Malignaggi

That Paulie punches so hard, that he can actually almost knock a cigarette out of a persons mouth! ….Khan’s in shit street!!

What do you think are the odds of a Paulie KO in Vegas?
10,000 to 1?
