Paulie Malignaggi looks like he has become a better fighter since leaving Buddy McGirt. He mentioned that his skills deteriorated studying with McGirt and he feels that he is returning back to original form with his new coach. Paulie mentioned that McGirt only knows how to teach in one way which was not beneficial for him. In some ways this reminds me of the union between Emmanuel Stewart and Jermaine Taylor which just didn't work. Do you think the outcome of the fight between Malignaggi and Hatton would have been different if Malignaggi wasn't trained by McGirt?

well judging what i seen him do against diaz and how in shape and sharp he looked i'd have to say he would at LEAST had a better chance at beating hatton. he still could have lost but would have looked a lot better overall.Originally posted by Floyd R View Post
since the first ndou fight paulie started slipping. i gave him a pass on the second ndou fight cuz he fractured his hand in the fight. but he was slowing down. looking a little slower in each fight. using his hands less and less; etc.
the way he came out and fought diaz was the way i thought he'd look against hatton. i mean his speed is great again...he's punching a whole lot more (949 punches in the diaz fight. thats got to be a career high for him) so the rounds are starting to go his way more and more.
since i havent seen anything else change (other than he fought UNDER 140 against diaz and if those few pounds helped he should go down cuz he looks like a better fighter overall) i'd assume the trainer made the difference.
we will have to wait and see how he looks in his next fight before we can determine if mcgirt really held him back that far behind his potential. -

No.
Hatton beats Mallignaggi any day of the week. The only reason he looked good was because Diaz has very little power, and he could let his combo's go. And remember, Mallignaggi was getting beat up by Hatton even though he was running for the whole fight. If he fought Hatton how he fought Diaz he would have been destroyed.
Basically, Hatton is better than what people give him credit for. Mallignaggi is decent. Diaz is, and was, overrated.Comment

Or maybe its Hatton>>>> Diaz in everywhich way bigger, stronger, faster and Paulie just couldn't cope, hell he beat Diaz by 2 rounds MAX on my card.
Hatton was an A class fighter hence his destruction of Paulie and other such fighters..
Buddy made Paulie not throw back all night and clench 24/7 and get totally owned right... ??

What on McGirt's resume says he is a good trainer? Better yet, name a fighter that he has built from pro debut to world title.Originally posted by swizz View PostComment
