    Carlos Baldomir > Joshua Clottey

    Tata gets far too much hate and Clottey gets far too much credit. Who are their respective best wins? A past prime Gatti and a prime #1 Zab for Carlos. For Clottey? A past prime Zab on technical decision and a past prime blown up Corrales. Tata wins that argument. Plus Clottey got dq'ed because he was fed up with Baldo being in his face making it tough.

    Give this man the respect he deserved and stop giving Clottey so damn much for "being tough." When your best wins are losses it don't say much.

    Clottey's best win is over shot Judah. Baldomir beat a prime Judah

            All about giving Tata his props. When Clottey does something as impressive as he did I will respect him. People like him for his losses.

                Baldomir is the man. Glad he got some big paydays and a world championship before he retired.

                  Baldomir is underreated for only one reason - he fought Floyd. He fought Floyd and got dominated Marquez style. I think he landed 12% of his punches, just like Marquez. He also outweighed Floyd, so the "Floyd was bigger" excuse does not apply.

                  He'll always be underrated because if he isn't, it would mean that Floyd would have a great win, but no one wants him to. The guy who said Clottey beat a past-prime Judah and Baldomir a prime Judah is absolutely correct. Funny how everyone mentions Clottey as a guy Floyd should fight, when he is not even as accomplished as a guy Floyd shut out.

                    Losses are part of the resume and if you don't take how they lost into the equation than you're a gayweather.

                    You won't find many that think Baldomir could be as competitive against Margarito and Cotto as Clottey was.
