      If you want to talk about mayweather Boxing Clinics..there are many fine examples.... Baldomir is not one of them... Unless you mean a clinic in running..
      you couldve atleast used the term ''potshotting''
      Running? He was constantly just out of distance, and moved in when he could hit baldomir,
      I think your rlly looking at that fight way to superficially, he was blocking shots with his arms, parrying, using footwork, constantly adjusting his distance, It was precisely what boxing is about, mayweather didnt have a mark on him, and baldomir felt like a fool.

        Floyd v Corrales was a masterpiece! He was actually pressing Baldy at first until the 5th rd where he broke his hand (i think it was a right hook, you tube it & watch floyd shake his hand in pain). If anything the Baldy fight showed that Floyd could adjust on the fly & could pot-shot a much bigger (albeit slower) man, & not get hit. Good stuff, but not a masterpiece & IMO not very pleasing on the eyes...

          He was fighting a guy who really shouldn't have even been there.. Floyd Mayweather is light years ahead of Baldomir in terms of skill...
          I know Baldomir was the Champ... Flukey things happen.. Carlos Maussa was once a champ too..

          I wont call it Potshotting.. if you want me to change my terminology,, I will..

          Mayweather fought scared then... But I doubt that will make you any happier..

              I didnt see anything boring in that fight ^_^ thats all. And i really didnt
              notice his hand being hurt until maybe round 7.
              But lets see when cotto - mayweather happens, if cotto is ''the one'' who finally belongs in there with mayweather. It seems no one is good enough.

                Actually it was said DURING the fight that Hernandez opened up as the favorite and by closing time Floyd was ahead.

                  During the fight? Yea ok, whatever, Hernandez was a 6-1 favorite when the fight was made. Nobody makes up ground like that unless its a fix in place.

Also why is it when people try and pit future opponents against Floyd its always about size and not skill? I guess we can all conclude that Floyd is the best from 130-154 correct, with his biggest test probably against Forrest. Why don't I ever hear what a fighter will do to Floyd on a skill level, but rather always this guy is too strong for Floyd, Floyd wouldnt be able to hurt this guy, this guy is just too big, etc. These things were said about Margorito and are said about Cotto. So what the world has basically conceded to is that Floyd won't ever lose unless its to someone who is bigger than him, but not better. In that case Floyd may have a point in saying when its all said and done he will be the greatest of all time. Bigger dont equal better, remember that.
                    The one guy who gave mayweather real problems was Judah, people dont realise that mayweather had to change style to win that fight, judah was so quick mayweather couldnt fight out of a shell from the outside against him, he had to hold his hands up and walk judah down for the rest of the fight.

                      You must get some lovely Christmas cards from all the fighters you pull for, I'm guessing?

                      Come on, man. You can do better than that. How can anyone be expected to give two ****s about someone they don't even know exists?
