    Thats kinda debateable.. I would personally Pick margarito in a fight with Baldi just on power alone.. Baldomir is hardly a world class talent..

      And who's to say Margarito is world class? I will take a win over Judah (2 division champion and formerly undisputed at welter) plus the RING championship over Cintron (an unproven fighter who choked in the spotlight) and a paper title...

          I didnt... In fact I said the only difference would be Margaritos power..

          What I think you are trying to say.. is That Baldomir is a credible win On Floyds resume.... and he isn't.. he is a much a stiff as Margarito is..
          Which is why its baffleing that Floyd so refused to fight him.. But then tried to sell Baldi as so much more..

            As far as skillset, I think they're equal. But at the time Baldomir had the bigger bargaining chip (RING championship and lineal title), same payday as a Margarito fight, and Floyd wouldn't have to deal with Bob Arum. As I said, it's not a duck if you're fighting someone of the same caliber...

              The ignorance in this thread is ****ing outstanding.

              You people who talk so much trash about Margarito....what fights have you seen and give me a run down of what you saw. Because as it stands it looks like a bunch of people basing their opinions on 1 fight against Clottey.

              I think that's the only one you people have seen.

              Also to the guy who said "How is Margarito going to cut off the ring" that's just laughable. He's 4 inches taller and has more reach not to mention he measures with the left hand simply to stay within punching distance.

              Floyd has never fought anyone half Tony's size. Corrales at 6 foot looks like a lollypop compared to him, and Tony could be a Light heavyweight.

              He's ****ing huge, get a ****ing grip on reality and stop placing Floyd's **** in your mouths. It's annoying.

                Only Floyd can be accused for ducking when he decides to fight the LINEAL and RING Welterweight champion of the world, who had just beat Judah and Gatti, and for more money than what was offered for the Margarito fight.

                In fact, if Floyd didn't fight Baldomir and instead beat the **** out of Margarito, you guys would be calling him a paper champ, who just beat an overrated, unproven fighter in Margarito.

                      You know what's even more impressive?

                      Coming off a win against the very man who transcended boxing, the star of all superstars, none other than Manuel Gomez

                      Seriously, think before you type.
