Accuse Paulie Malignaggi of having a bad hair day.
Accuse him of gellin’ like Ferdinand Magellan.

Accuse him of wearing of being an attention addict.
But do not, I repeat do not, accuse the Mouth That Roars from Italy by way of Brooklyn of backing down when he gets into a tussle.

Attention addict Yo Yo Yo Paulie Malignaggi won’t back down on suspicions about Manny Pacquiao being a drug faker (Marty Rosengarten, RingsidePhotos.com)
The 51,000 plus millions watching on TV around the world, they believe in Pacman. Last time I checked, I think 99.9 percent of those in the Philippines truly believed in their Pambansang Kamao or National Fist.
Not Malignaggi, who continues to insist the Pinoy Idol is an artificial hero, a creature who turned into a ring monster only through illegal drug use.

Proof? Well, Malignaggi’s got none, never said he did. But his suspicions grow larger with each and every bravura Pacman performance.
“I stick by my original comments,” Malignaggi said while hyping his May 15 Madison Square Garden bout against Amir Khan.
“Freddie Roach is an excellent trainer but, come on, what makes Pacquiao so awesome? I will put it this way, if Manny fights Mayweather, then I am picking Pacquiao.
“But, without (Manny using) the drugs, then I pick Mayweather.”
Pacman threw over 1,000 punches against Clottey’s constant cover up tactics. But Malignaggi sees the glowing punch stats as another red light, another indicator of something fishy in Pacman’s performances.
“Pacquiao is throwing 100 punches every round, come on, man,” Malignaggi said. “Even Mayweather, with all the speed, doesn’t do that. Pacquiao can probably throw 100 punches a round for 20 rounds and you’re not suspicious of that? Well, I am.
“Pacquiao was a good fighter, don’t get me wrong. But did you see him throwing 100 punches a round against Juan Manuel Marquez? I sure didn’t and neither did Marquez. What you have here is a pretty good fighter who is suddenly this really great fighter. I just don’t buy it.
“In this world, this conspiracy filled world, yes I remain suspicious of Pacquiao.”
So what does the PWA, Pacquiao Worldwide Army say in response?
