Mouthy Malignaggi: 'Midget' Pacquiao is phony Superman

by Michael Marley


I think I finally figured it out and I can't blame the Brooklyn Hustler Yo Paulie Malignaggi.

On Sunday night, while pumping his Saturday night HBO rematch against Juan Diaz in Chicago, the scrapper from Brooklyn by way of Italy, resumed his verbal attack on the accomplishments of Pinoy Idol Manny Pacquiao.

Malignaggi was a featured guest on "The Boxing Truth Podcast" with co-hosts John Chavez and Ricardo Lois.

You've heard it before, you will no doubt hear it again whether Malignaggi wins, loses or draws against Diaz.

Oh, what did I deduce?

That Malignaggi is just continuing to conduct a spitball at a battleship assault on Megmanny in the slim hopes of someday landing a multimillion dollar paynight him.

Malignaggi's theme--which he freely admits is based solely on "my opinion and speculation"--remains that Pacquiao is cheating by using some sort of illegal substance(s) that make him almost impervious to pain inside the ring.

"Look at what Manny is doing," Malignaggi said. "He is absolutely crushing world class killers. And here he is, this little midget.

"He gets a broken eardrum and yet he is walking around afterwards like he was dodging spitballs. There are things (drugs) out there that can do that."

Malignaggi claimed that he is not a Pacman hater nor is he simply jealous of Manny's ring riches.

"Youre hiding under a rock if you can't see what I am talking about. This is a guy who was life and death with Juan Manuel Marquez at 120 pounds and now he's got 15 to 17 pounds of muscle on him. Look at how short he is, he didn't get taller, did he?

"It's not about hating Manny or being jealous," Malignaggi said. "I think other fighters use performance enhancing drugs. I don't mean diuretics because

those are used to make weight, not to enhance your peformance. I'd say the bigger men (heavyweights) are doing it because they are not worried about making weight."

Say one thing about Malignaggi. He speaks his mind whether you like him or loathe him.

The Brooklyn Hustler is a quote machine.

He is just tugging on Superman's cape, no more and no less.
