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

[disolly]

Margarito at the time was ranked higher than Zab Judah.

Yes he was. And he fought a #1&2 that were there for a very short time, and it had nothing to do with their lost to Floyd, they were just not that good. Zab is good but he will lose to top WW's because he is just too damn small, hell the guy can make 140 now. And Baldomir was never good, he got a huge upset over Zab before that he was ranked 10th in the division. Floyd fought the weakest 1 & 2 and he jumped at the opportunity of course, who wouldn't. But why did he never fight the #2 through #5 ranked fighters of WW when he was champ, all great fighters at the time. Gutless. Cotto did what a real champ does look at his WW resume it makes Floyd look like a joke.

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.

too be he decided to stop there for a couple of years

Nobody knew that Zab was going to lose to Baldo.The Zab-Floyd fight already had an HBO date April 8,Venue etc everybody was promoting that fight.and AFAIK he already signed to fight Judah even before the Zab-Baldo bout and to answer your question Cotto,Baldo,Zab,DLH and Hatton would be better

And it's unheard of to pull out of a fight because your opponent lost his easy tune-up fight?

I'm pretty sure fighting a guy coming off a loss is the exception, not the rule.

Wow... you've found another exception.

Okay, quick, in history other than Mayweather-Judah, Hopkins-Jones II and Morales-Pacquiao II, what other examples can we come up with?

I didn't see De La Hoya fight Terry Norris when he blew it against Keith Mullings.

Mike Tyson didn't fight Jorge Luis Gonzalez when he lost to Cliff Couser.

There was considerable talk of a third fight between De La Hoya and Mosley until Mosley dropped a pair to Wright.

Is your argument that it is not possible to pull out of fights when the fighter loses a tune-up, or is it your argument that it is good career management when a fighter fights a fighter who just lost a tune-up?

I see your little hiatus from this site didn't make you any more intelligent Marijuana.

Remember when you pretended to be 24 about 2 years ago? Interesting to see that you are 22 now. Are you on some Benjamin Button ****?

Thank you for sticking to the topic at hand.

And no, I don't remember ever lying about my age. I think I've had my age showing the entire time I've been on this site, but... maybe not. I don't think I would have lied about my age. What advantage would I have for being 24 instead of 20?

I did think the Benjamin Button reference was fairly funny though.

Its funny how quickly people for get. lol

forget that they weren't the top 2 WW's? i agree
