For those who say Baldomir is the worst champion ever...

Baldomir's only fans are his family, and Floyd supporters who try to justify him being a legitimate threat at the time Floyd fought him. I can bet my left nut and right eye that if not for him fighting Floyd, the Floydboyz would be calling him a bum aswell. But, that would leave you with only one eye.....

Nobody thought he'd beat Gatti or Judah, and yet he spanked them both. You have to respect that at least. Baldomir is a tough , gritty guy. But his skill level and competition are suspect at best. You're right though, he did what he had to against Gatti and Judah and that deserves respect. Im not a fan of his, but props should be given, when deserved.

Does it really count? He won the IBF title by DQ. The IBO championship doesn't count.

baldomir is the worst LINEAL champion by far. Baldy would've boxed circles around Marg:grumpy:

:ugh: Erik Aiken wasn't even a welterweight.. what does that have to do with who was the worst "welterweight champion". Freddie Cochrane

Gatti was a 3-1 favorite at one point to beat Baldomir, no one was picking Baldomir to beat Gatti. You have to give him some credit for defying those odds. Gatti was favored by name alone. His biggest welter win was against Damgaard. Other than being a bigger name, there wasn't much in Gattis favor. He got blasted out in his other 147 fight by DLH. Beating Gatti hasn't been impressive for a long while now.

Six Heads got knocked the fuck out by Mayorga and Antonio Margarito. He was never linear.. a really shitty champion he was though. Lol, you are getting to specific. Are you seriously now changing it to, "Baldomir is the worst linear welterweight champion?" If so, you probably win.

That also may be a fair assessment. Andrew Lewis kind of sucked. :) I have no idea on welterweights though. Six Heads got knocked the fuck out by Mayorga and Antonio Margarito. He was never linear.. a really shitty champion he was though.

:ugh: Erik Aiken wasn't even a welterweight.. what does that have to do with who was the worst "welterweight champion". We've been talking about this... I haven't ever heard the welterweight qualification... a lot of people say he is the worst champion ever. So, in my thread... which is just about the worst champion ever, Aiken plays a role, thoughts?

Wow. I guess you are answering the argument that no one has made in this thread thus far. Not a single person on here has said a positive thing about Baldomir in relation to Floyd in this thread. Does Erik Aiken > Baldomir? Just answer the question and leave the other shit out of it. I'm not even a Floyd fan, that's not why I made this thread dude. :ugh: Erik Aiken wasn't even a welterweight.. what does that have to do with who was the worst "welterweight champion".

when they where talking about this I specificly heard a couple people say "welterweight champion".. I don't feel like diggin through all that crap but you're more then welcome to. And Baldomir porbably is the worst welterweight champ.. That also may be a fair assessment. Andrew Lewis kind of sucked. :) I have no idea on welterweights though.

I've never seen anyone qualify the statement with the word welterweight. By the way, I might have been wrong... Aiken gave Tim Austin his second loss (his first was to Rafael Marquez). Austin was a former Olympian, and a very good champion. when they where talking about this I specificly heard a couple people say "welterweight champion"..

wow. So I guess Baldo with 11 losses and 6 draws was a great win for Floyd. :rofl: Wow. I guess you are answering the argument that no one has made in this thread thus far.

No one said he was "thee" worst they said he was "thee worst welterweight champion ever" there is a difference.. I've never seen anyone qualify the statement with the word welterweight.

Judah yes, Gatti no. Gatti, at 147 pounds, what the hell did he ever do there? Gatti was a 3-1 favorite at one point to beat Baldomir, no one was picking Baldomir to beat Gatti. You have to give him some credit for defying those odds.

So then what does that say about the champion who precedes him? Probably a bad night.

Probably not by far... Leon Spinks was pretty bad too. I think you can make a credible argument about the worst lineal champion though, but not any titlist. So then what does that say about the champion who precedes him?

No one said he was "thee" worst they said he was "thee worst welterweight champion ever" there is a difference..
