Is Carlos Baldomir the toughest WW Mayweather has fought?

[-GDS-]

Was he born Cassius Clay or not?

You can change your name to Joe Moron, for all I care, doesn't mean I have to call you that.

Though I might call you your surname on accident.

From these quotes, to your appreciation of "solid" Americans, it's good to see what your all about.

Baldomir was the Number 1 WW when Floyd beat him.

Come on.. He was on a hot streak i give him that Beating Judah and Gatti but he was never an Elite fighter and Floyd shouldn't get that much credit for beating him.

Whoa whoa whoa



Baldomir had 10 losses back then hardly an elite fighter

He hasnt fought mosley

Hatton (overrated) was undefeated but had only fought outside of england twice (before May) what does that tell you and his signature victory was kostya tszyu.

Hatton fought outside of England 4/5 times before he fought Mayweather. Urango, Castillo, Collazo were in America.

Baldomir was the Number 1 WW when Floyd beat him.

But hardly a HOF'er. Floyd's resumé is littered with half decent fighters. No greats.

True but there isnt alot of great fighter around Mayweather apart from Pacquiao now and Mosley who is at an advance age.

it is funny that people talk about bladomir but the commentator I think it was foreman said that bladomir was the toughest fight up to that date.
bladomir is greater than clottey. What is clottey greatest accomplishment?

That's true. Add that Floyd so far has avoided the best fighters in the WW division and instead choosing midgets or punchbags as opponents.

He's technically the last Welterweight he fought.

The difference between Floyd and Pacquiao is that Floyd fought fighters in their prime at the official weight classes. Who did Pacquiao ever beat that was better than a prime Castillo or Corrales? Nobody, He beat Barrera which was a good win but....

Cotto,Hatton, De La Hoya were all past prime/weight drained

Baldomir was undisputed WW champ, Which makes it a very good win
