Paulie Malignaggi was recently asked about Conor McGregor’s fight camp, having just left the team on bad terms. When speaking about the UFC fighter’s chances, he once again brought up a similar statement to when he said there’s a “method to Conor’s madness,” but says there needs to be more progress.
“He can definitely fight. He’s a mixed martial arts champion. But as far as boxing is concerned — I’m not going to tell you he can’t box, I’m not going to say that. He understands what he wants to do and how he wants to do it, but he’s got to progress,” Malignaggi said on Fox 5’s Sports Xtra.
