The Double Standard

[warp1432]

how many top Welterweights did Baldomir legitimately defeat outside of beating Judah?

He beat an undefeated prospect, Miki Rodruiguez, the guy Berto just beat.

It's weird to think about how much more respect Floyd would command had he defeated Judah to win the Welterweightcrown.

People could just say he was crap because he got demloshied by Tszyu.

A reigning champ elects to fight a legendary, but somewhat inactive 34 year old ex-champ at a higher weight. That fight will make HUGE money. He is labeled a ducker and a coward.

Another reigning champ elects to fight a legendary, but somewhat inactive 43 year old ex-champ at a higher weight. That fight will make decent, but not huge, money. NSB posters defend that decision vigorously.

Yeah. OK.
