“Manny Pacquiao eliminates Conor McGregor in one round!” – Paulie Malignaggi

Former two-division boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi said Manny Pacquiao will destroy Conor McGregor.

After capturing his second UFC belt, McGregor turned his attention to boxing. He faced the legendary Floyd Mayweather in one of the highest PPVs in history. During the build-up, McGregor faced Paulie Malignaggi.

A small portion of the training material was shared with the public. The video showed “The Notorious” bringing out the best in Paulie. According to Paulie, McGregor’s team heavily edited the video to exalt the Irishman.

Since then, Paulie has not forgotten the incident. The boxer went after McGregor and even challenged him to fight. In a recent interview with Boxing Scene, Paulie said that he is ready to beat the shit out of McGregor. In addition, he also gave his opinion on Conor McGregor vs Manny Pacquiao

In the past, McGregor has had the idea to compete in boxing once again. However, Paulie believes it will not be against Mayweather as it is not realistic.

Shortly after his fight with Mayweather, Pacquiao also contacted McGregor’s team. The Filipino showed great interest in fighting Conor. But the party never materialized.

Paulie believes that McGregor will never fight him or Pacquiao.

“I think Manny Pacquiao erases McGregor in one round. ” Malignaggi said. “McGregor will have the advantages of bringing money to the table, but I think he values ​​his name. If he is going to fight any of us in a boxing match, he will be exposed. “

Pacquiao recently announced that he has signed with the same management company as McGregor – Paradigm Sports. Reserving a match between them will not be difficult.

Paulie then cited McGregor’s submission losses in MMA. McGregor has four submission losses on his record. Two of them arrived in the UFC.

“He resigned during his submission losses in MMA. As soon as it is difficult for him. He looks for the first exit. He is the king of “perception is reality”. In boxing, he’s going to smear his name because there aren’t many ways to get out of a fight. “ Malignaggi told Boxing Scene.

Additionally, Paulie said McGregor quit in his game against Mayweather and stopped throwing punches. According to Paulie, McGregor looked for a way out despite being fit.

Paulie Malignaggi retired from boxing in 2017. Subsequently, he competed in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship against Artem Lobov. As of now, he works as a commentator and analyst for Showtime Boxing.
