Baldomir with a good win tonight would have beaten Judah and Gatti in his last two outings. These two fighters are both better than anyone Margarito has beaten. I know there is not a massive argentine fan base in America, but this guy will become a huge star in his homeland with a win tonight and this is not a nation that is unfamiliar with producing great boxers. Carlos Monzon for exmaple. I just can't see why Floyd shouldn't fight baldy instead of Margarito at that point and try to become the undisputed #1 at 147. Isn't that what everyone was complaining he failed to do at 140. If Margarito wants to become part of this discusion, maybe he should beat a relevant opponent in this division. Don't tell me no one will fight him. I guarantee you that Judah or Mitchell would be happy to. Frankly based on his wide punching and lack of speed either would probably beat him. If Baldy wins tonight, he will be the man at 147 and the guy who Floyd should take on next.
PLEASE. he is fighting guys who are coming off KO losses
mitchell just came off 2 wins...and judah actually beat baldomir 7-5 he just didnt look good doing it

Makes sense if either Margarito or Floyd go after Baldomir. What doesn't make sense to me is that Floyd's Haters say that he should have fought Baldomir instead of Zab(who's the better fighter in my opinion), now they're saying Gatti (who PBF destroyed) has a chance of winning which I doubt(but I wouldn't be surprised), but if Floyd goes after Baldomir he's a bitch. Personally I'd like to see the PBF/Margarito fight just so the hating will stop, but if he goes after Baldomir(if he wins in impressive fashion) & if it's a lucrative move then i wouldn't complain
winky wright ducks no one. fights everybody and usually wins and just drew with undiputed middlweight champ..if shane was so called passed his prime THEN..why is floyd calling him out NOW????????
Because Floyd likes $$$. ALso, keep in mind styles make fights, as do body types. Winky was a very large Light Middleweight while Shane started his career at Lightweight. Given the type of fight it would be, it's hardly as much as a mismatch as some might try to make it seem.
Baldomir is THE champ, because he beat the man.
In different times everyone should be wanting to fight him, because he would be the one with THE belt, not hatton, not mayweather, not margarito.
BY THE WAY, ITS LIKE MAYWEATHERS LAST 6-7 IM REFFERING TOO..HE IS NOT FIGHTING ANYONE TO BE CONSIDERED P4P KING
Who somebody fights is not the only thing that factors into p4p rankings. If FLoyd never fought anybody, it's a completely different story. However, he had huge wins earlier in his career and I haven't seen anything to believe his skills have depleated more than just a tiny amount. The p4p is a fictional rating baesd upon who would beat who if they fought if things were even'd out... not who has the best record recently... that's what fighter of the year is for; hence the reason Hatton won last year, and rightfuly so.
Thank you for admitting that. P4P king needs to fight quality opposition. He is not P4P #1 WINKY WRIGHT IS.
As much as I like Winky, and respect what he has done... he isn't #1. You can't draw your last fight and be #1 p4p unless you make the opponent he drew with also #1. Even prior to that, he had good opponents but not very good. Mosley was game but out of his prime, and Tito was out of his prime and weight class.
gee dummy didnt say they were BUMS said they are Zu's leftovers...LEARN TO READ
Over half the division are Tszyu leftovers. So basically, you're going to bitch unless somebody who is undefeated steps up in the ring against some of these people? The standard you're setting is a joke. If you want to say Floyd's opposition in his last several fights are weaker than the average person wants to see; go right ahead. But the standard you're placing by saying their Kosta's left over is a joke.
And hate on Mayweather all you want, Hatton might have him topped in his last 3 fights, but careerwise Hatton is still miles behind em'.
But he WILL bring the linear championship, which will be much more lucrative down the road.
in a division thats not likely to include floyd mayweather much longer? not really.
Cuz Baldi wont bring 8 million to the table like Margarito.
But he WILL bring the linear championship, which will be much more lucrative down the road.
who the fuck would want to see the horrible mismatch between baldy and the vastly superior floyd mayweather jr?
that'll be like watching some1 (baldy) go to the firing squad.
PLEASE, BOTH THE GUYS ZAB AND MICTEHLL WERE BANGNED OUT BY KOSTA..mitchell had a liitle fight in between against no one special..zab lost to a journey man..16 to 1 underdog...cause he didnt train..what an idiot. Mayweather opposition has sucked as of latley
THen maybe we're overrating Tszyu if these were such big bums to begin with? You can't have both sides of the coin, unless you're somehow suggesting Kosta KO'd em' so hard he destroyed their careers, which is laughable. And isn't Hatton fighting somebody who was also beaten by Tszyu? Shame on him :rolleyes:
margarito should fight the winner here, PBF always has excuses so i doubt hes fighting margarito, hes fighting spinks lol Tony would anihalate either baldomir or gatti, n have all tha belts
A fighter like Margarito can get into trouble against somebody like Gatti. Gatti will take punishment and keep comming. Tony has a good chin but he's been down a few times in his career, and Gatti hits plenty hard enough and often enough to knock em' down and keep em' comming. I'm not saying I'd pick Gatti, but it'd hardly be a walk in the park.

Mitchell was comming off of a win if I'm not mistaken, and Zab had been UD'd..... are you smoking something?
id say
spinks would be a tough opponent but we all pretty much know floyd would win
and i doubt floyd will fight baldy and if he does hes gone down a notch in my book
I hope he goes down a notch on P4p rankings as well!
