    He is not a great figter but beating Zab and Gatti was respectable at the time. Reason as to why Floyd had to fight. I bring this because, I think I know where ur going with this.

      He's not a "GREAT" fighter, but it's a good name to have on your resume.

      Not many people know this, but before Baldomir beat Zab, he was rated at 10 by The Ring at welterweight. He proved himself by beating Zab and an old gatti (2 things: how do you dertimne a prime gatti? Gatti was also the favorite for that fight).

      Also he managaed to win some rounds against Clottey. People don't mention Baldomir as one his top 5 wins, but everyone mentions Floyd's welter resume so much, so he deserves to be brought up because he's a good fighter.

      He's a good fighter and has a good resume.

        Baldomir makes Kid Thunder Andrew Hartley look good.

            Floyd has a tremendous amount of respect for Baldomir. Thus, he must be great.

                  Baldomir won the linear WW title & compiled 44 victories in his pro career. Thats more than a fighter like Margarito can say. But yet the ignorant fan might believe Margarito has had a better career. BTW Floyd also beat the late great Diego, Castillo twice, Hernandez, Oscar, the previously undefeated Hatton & he medaled in the 96 olympics.

                    What makes Mosley such a good win For Blotto(low blow cotto)He was old,washed up,And would have put Cotto on a stretcher if the ref did`nt save him from getting knocked out.

                    The pr ref tried to claim the canvas was wet when he was really trying save his fellow pr from getting exposed.
