Fighting breaks out during the weigh in for the Amir Khan (L) and Paulie Malignaggi WBA light welterweight title fight on May 14, 2010 in New York, New York.

As Malignaggi sees it, both he and Khan have something to prove.

“He knocked out a bunch of lightweights,” Malignaggi said. “Barrera was a featherweight who moved up in weight and had the age thing. He’s never been in with anybody. I don’t know what the big deal is with Khan.

“… He hasn’t really been tested against a fighter who knows what he’s doing. He has no idea what he’s getting himself into.”

Malignaggi will have a chance to put his fists where his mouth is Saturday on HBO. No one knows how much trouble Paulie Malignaggi will give Amir Khan on Saturday in New York, but will soon find out.

  1. We all know that there will be fans and haters to each in everyone of us but let us not view the fighters of their religion or race. Let us view them with their boxing skills and what they could contribute to the sport we all love.

    At first, I was irritated by Paulie’s loud mouth and fu*** trash talking but I was amazed when he showed respect and sportsmanship after the fight. He knew Khan was the better fighter that night. In my perspective, the fight became more interesting to watch because of what Paulie did. After all the commotions during the weigh-in, they had showed respect after the fight. Kudos to both Amir and Paulie! They had showed the fans a great fight!

    Congratulations to Amir Khan!

  3. Edgar,did hear about Mike perez knocking out two heavyweight fighters in one night ?this guy reminds of Tyson when he was young .very vicious !

  4. The ref made a huge mistake when he counted
    Pauli’s knock down from a body shot as a slip .
    if the was really a competitive one the ref decision could make a different difference .
    it was very obvious that Pauli was knock down
    I was really stupefied because anyone can tell when a boxer slip and that was not a slip .it’s a knock down from a clean flush body shot .
    What do you think Edgar ?!

  5. I don’t talk shit ,but all I cab say Amir khan I am knocking out .
    Great job by Ortiz Victor .
    It was a great night for golden boy.

  6. THAT WOMEN AT THE END OF THE VIDEO IS MS. LADY PINKS FROM HI POWER …….IM GOING FOR AMIR…FU** PAULIE….

  8. I don’t care who wins I just wanna see a good fight I’m also goin for david ortiz…..

  10. I haven’t seen any good american fighter for years most of the champions are foreigners and Pauli’s comments are really discriminatory .
    most of boxing champions are foreigners .tell one American champions is worth it to talk about
    Most the champions are Latinos ,Russians Asian
    So why being bigot about Pauli ?

  11. @mr brown,your logic is erroneous because being kayeod doesn’t mean nothing .
    Pac man was kayeod 3 times at the beginning of his career and look where he is at know .
    And by the way your friend floyd wasn’t impressive at all believe me be will get knocked out by pacman if they fight you know why ? Manny will do what sugar did in the second round through the entire fight.
    Floyd is scare of nanny and I don’t think Manny is on steriods .Floyd is a chicken that’s a disgrace to the African American people.

  12. Khan’s haters,just say it I don’t like khan because of his religion .stop being cowards and hypocrites .have the courage and reveal your hate and stop pretending that religion has nothing to do with boxing .

  13. it’s obvious that you guys do like khan because where he is from .people who do like khan ,they have the courage to say why they don’t like khan .they not saying that they do not like khan because he is Muslim .
    This ignorants do realist that most boxing legends are Muslims Ali,Tyson,hobkin,prince nassem and others .Muslims boxers have dominated boxing for years

  14. man you Americans are so bigot and don’t like any foreign fighters .Pauli is a bigot piece of crap who keep saying that foreigners come here and get good fight this guy was beat badly twice by two foreigner . Dude you got beat by Hatton
    and you still talk shit .he needs to stop talking
    about other American fighters winning over foreign fighters and start talk about what he has accomplish against foreign fighters .
    Knan will shut his mouth on sat .I really think Pauli is a feminine fighter who like to talk trash .look at guy eyebrows ,he pluck his eyebrows like females do .

  15. Malignaggi will win this fight, he’s fought better oppositions then Amir Khan.
    I can respect any fighter to a certain extend in winning an olympic metal, its a great tremendous accomplishment. But as a professional stand point you need to maintain that discipline form. Khan has been knocked out before violently, by a journey men not well known. Paulie has lost too 2 known oppositions and he’s never been knocked out, maybe stopped by his corner men but never knocked out.

    Paulie by decisions.
