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

[mrlopez]

STFU you ****** ****s and get it through your head that Zab and Carlos were the top Welterweights when Floyd fought them

Margarito was rated behind them and had never even been on HBO. Miguel Cotto wasn't even a ****ing welterweight and was just about to pick up a vacant WW title on SHO that was vacated by guess who? Mosley was up at JR Middle at the time, the same year he turned down a Floyd fight because of a tooth ache after Floyd called him out

After all this he moves up to 154 to make the richest fight in boxing history, he wins a title against the best 154lber weighing the same as Pacquiao did for his fight at 140. Do you want to hate on him for that as well you dumb ****s?

Now Ricky Hatton, for you who started watching boxing in 2009 or did'nt follow Mayweather. Back in the day, Tzyu vs Mayweather was like Mayweather vs Pacquiao, the fans were asking for it. When Hatton beat Tzyu you would always hear Mayweather vs Hatton all over the press. I lost count on how many people were saying that Hatton was the one to beat Mayweather, I even thought Hatton was going to beat him. It was a rich fight and one that a **** load of people were asking for. Hatton was the WBA Welterweight champ the year before and he was bigger than Mayweather, Mayweather always used to come in below 150 for his WW fights while Hatton would re-hydrate 10+ pounds for his 140 fights.

He then retires for a year and a half because his hands are so ****ed that some of us are lucky he even still fights. Keep on hating you ******s but I was following Mayweather and boxing in general while all this was going on. Some of you who watched boxing back then either know this but are too ****** of a hater, or didnt even care for Mayweather. I know some of you *******s out there started watching boxing in general because of Pacquiao beginning in 2008 or 2009 so STFU about the past that you dont know **** about and look towards the future because on May 2nd Mayweather is going to have the #1 WW and P4P #3 fighter in the world on his winning resume.

Take a pill, smoke 1 and get out your moms house, sounds like you got a lot of hate in your heart...........

Guys at the end of the day no matter how anyone spins it. Baldi and Judah were two of the Top WW's in the world when Floyd onwed them.

[MurderDeathKill]

Who says they weren't? People go at Floyd for what he didn't do in 2008, not what he did do in 2006. Fighting Zab and Baldomir can't be criticized.

[mikeyh1015]

You said it. I approve this post!!!!

[Kagami Taiga]

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

ok, but its too bad the rest of the world did not believe that. im tired of saying this, but i dont think ppl get the point. no1 was callin margs the best ww at the time, they were callin baldomir the best. why???i dunno but thats a fact. ppl look at ring magazine and all that **** but they dont look at where the boxing world and the public was at. im sure if floyd would have fought and embarassed margs, ppl would be accusing him of ducking baldomir. so on that note, the guy couldnt win...

if u wanna talk about him not fighting cotto b4 he retired thats one thing, but lets stop acting like it was this huge public outcry for floyd to fight margs back in 06, its false and the only ppl that say that nonsense are ppl who didnt watch boxing at the time

really???are you at all paying attention to this thread??

[kadyo's]

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.

Maybe, but what I knw is that you have a shane avatar.

I agree with the public opinion analysis.

I've been on Boxingscene since late 2005.

Nobody on here was calling for Floyd to fight Margarito until he retired.

Margarito's name on Boxingscene then was mentioned in similar vain to Paul Williams. You mention his name, and he's feared, but nobody really expected Floyd to fight him. The fight's everyone were talking about then were De La Hoya, Hatton, and Cotto(In terms of being the loudest).

[Dirk Diggler UK]

ESPN: Floyd, fight Baldomir.

Dirt Diggler UK: Floyd, is Baldomir better than Margarito? Yes or no?




Which will Floyd tend to?!?!

Tune in on the next episode ooof......"GTFO"

You didnt answer the question.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Floyd was in a lose-lose situation during that time.If he chose Margarito over Baldo people would say that he "ducked" the lineal champ and the guy that beat Zab.And AFAIK when the Pwill-Marg happened Floyd already signed to fight hatton.The only time that floyd ducked somebody is when he retired for the 123132324th time after the hatton fight instead of one more fight against Cotto.The other guys Margarito,Shane,Pwill at that time are irrelevant.

Or he could just fight both of them? Theres a novel idea.
