    Fighters can become shot after one fight. And look, Baldomir was already 36 years old when he fought Foresst and was moving up in weight. Definetly not the same Baldomir of '06. Forrest hasn't even proved to us yet he can beat a Top JM. I don't even think he could beat Oscar or Cory Spinks.

      That's true. If you take away his unlikely win over the immature Judah, Baldomir is nothing but a durable but rather ordinary journeyman. His win over Clottey was a robbery and people will be reminded how little beating Gatti meant when they see Gomez get obliterated by Cotto in April. Floyd won the title over one of the worst welterweight champions ever and Forrest didn't really prove anything by beating him either.

        stop being biased. If Baldomir was shot when Forrest fought him, then he was shot when PBF fought him. PBF didnt put him through a war. He didnt put him through a grueling brutal fight. He just made him swing and miss. The notion than Carlos Baldomir was a completely broken down fighter only a year later is ridiculous, ludacris and even a lil boosie.

          Baldomir was there for the taken when PBF fought him but Baldomir was in better position than when he took the Forrest fight..He was on a winning run which end with him getting a shot at Judah, He beat two high profile names coming into the Mayweather fight and that gave him a better confidence going into the PBF fight...Going into the forrest fight he didnt have alot of those advantages.

                Lets see if Forrest can even get past the legendary, beastly .. the Michael Jordan of boxing - Sergio Mora.

                  Are you guys sure? I'm sure Paul Williams was the guy to beat Mayweather...


                  Must be Forrest now, but before Forrest beats Mayweather he should beat Quartey in a rematch

                  I wont use his Mayorga losses because styles do make fights...

                    Doubtful, people forget that he clearly lost to Ike, if he got in the ring with Floyd it would be a mismatch, apparent from Round 1.
                    Clearly people are grasping at straws.

                      People get hardons on Forrest's fight with Mosley when it is clear as good as Mosley is he always lost to taller fighters, Mosley relied on speed not defense thats why he got hit quite often by Forrest because Forrest was timing him well. Floyd has all three speed, timing and defense. The fact of the matter is the Forrest that fought Mosley vs Mayweather would have been competitive but now I dont think Forrest can be as competitive as few years back.
