Carlos Baldomir + Zab Judah were the #1+#2 WW's when floyd beat them

[educator06]

Mosley has already shown the world that mayweather could have easily beaten margo, I guess it's a little bit late now though.

floyd cant do what shane can do...two different styles...you have to be able to bring some pain to make margarito back off....do you really think pbf can do that? if you do, you dont know boxing.

W many title defenses did margs have at the time? How many did Carlos have? How many did zab have? Why didn't Floyd sign to figh zab until after baldo beat him?

They were probably #1 and#2 WW when Mayweather
fought them but I'm sure they're not even close to the top 50
heck even top 100 fighters P4P at that time.

they weren't.

zab went down in the rankings after the lost to baldomir.

common sense.

if cotto can drop from #1 or 2 to #4 after losing to the #3 guy , how much do you think zab dropped by losing to the #10 or unranked guy?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I understand that you want to make a point and all. But, lets not make **** up. Margarito was ranked higher than Judah at the time. Margarito had the longest title reign at the time. Margarito that better WW resume at the time than any of the WWs top 10.

Make your point but don't make **** up.

Great thread.....

No matter how anyone spins it. Baldi and Judah were two of the best WW's int he world when Floyd beat them.

kids....................smh

Ok you do understand that Margarito could not be ranked by the WBC cuz he was the WBO champ right?

Just like how Baldomir was not ranked by the WBO at the time.

When you hold one of the 4 major titles the other sanctioning bodies do not rank you.

The only sanctioning body that ranks major title holders is the IBO.

He wasn't according to Ring Magazine. Ring Magazine had Judah listed as the champion at 147 when he fought Baldomir.

When Zab lost to Baldomir he got ranked at #2 by the Ring, Marg was ranked #1 and Baldo the champ.

When Floyd fought Zab, Marg was ranked higher than Zab.

And, no the Floyd-Zab fight was not signed before Zab lost to Baldo.

And, no matter how anyody tried to spins it at the time. Margarito was the best WW in the planet.

[Ravishing]

Do you really think any of those guys would have beaten DLH?

Annual The Ring rankings... DLH was #6 in 2006 after beating Mayorga, he was #3 after losing to Mayweather in 2007.

I don't know about that. I have Forrest beating Oscar during that time.

And, no matter how anyody tried to spins it at the time. Margarito was the best WW in the planet.

saying that now sounds good..but flashback to that time..who was asking for Marg vs May..who was even speaking of Marg in that light?..you have to be objective..NO ONE was..I only remember the public bad mouthing Floyd because he didnt fight Baldomir..no time was Marg even uttered..and as soon as Floyd outclassed Baldo..everyone who acted like Baldo was the man to beat Floyd sang a different tune...

[Equinox]

When Zab lost to Baldomir he got ranked at #2 by the Ring, Marg was ranked #1 and Baldo the champ.

When Floyd fought Zab, Marg was ranked higher than Zab.

And, no the Floyd-Zab fight was not signed before Zab lost to Baldo.

I still cant believe you tried to pick on me about ratings and you tried to place your self high above me with your ratings IQ you researched acting like you remember ratings from that time. You never told me the ratings for April 2007 140lbs?

I didnt make this thread based on ratings from one place. I remember back then people were asking for 1 fight, then he got upset, so floyd gave them 2 fights. Nothing else mattered no matter where one place had Margarito ranked. Baldo beating zAB>>>>>>>Margarito beating 5 mandatories.
