Does Malignaggi pull his punches? Can he hit harder?

[John Hue]

Malignaggi does not hit hard but he has a record of brittle hands and has gone on record that he only has so many fights in him because of the state of his hands. This makes me think he is pulling his punches and taking power off them and can hit harder if he wants to.
If this is the case we might see him load up on his shots because he knows one well placed hard shot and Khan will fall like a sack of ****.
Do you think Malignaggi can hit hard if he wants to ?

Well im quoting Paulie

One man against another man in the ring,and the "weak" man hits the other man, it dont tickle

[pelonxsoldier28]

it's common sense, he lands hard he breaks his hand.

[Fish_Scotland]

erm no. He's not had brittle hands forever. I recall Floyd pulling the weak hands stunt before the Hatton fight, Paulie just can't punch (hard).

[Uturn]

I think he could hit harder imo. He just doesn't want to break his hands again i guess kinda sucks..

[dnjk]

I think he could hit harder.

[{Pito}]

He pulls his punches. Definitely.

[Junito-Rulez]

Yes i think so, but if Paulie sits down on his punches, it won't be that much effective. You either can pop or u can't.

Paulie doesn't have world class power.

[BigStereotype]

He has to. His hands are just straight brittle.
