Judging by todays standards Floyd's win over Baldomir is totally legit.

[IronDanHamza]

You are completly missing the point, TS isn't giving Mayweather credit for his win over Baldomir. So posting videos of Baldomir getting ko'd is invalid and idiotic.

[Dice]

Number one, Saul is a TWENTY YEAR OLD MAN whos a solid prospect with like 26 kos, not a preteen like some are claiming . If there was a draft young MEN like him and a 22yr old such as myself would get sent to war first . Number two Alverez is NINETEEN YEARS YOUNGER THEN BALDOMIR. And finally, for those who got wet over the knockout, Baldo has been ko-ed twice. Aside from the Alverez fight the last time he got knocked out was in 1994 THATS SIXTEEN YEARS AGO. And by the way even with his power the only reason Alverez ko-ed Baldo is because baldo spend over fifteen years using his granite chin as a shield. Eventually even montains erode.

This isnt a slight against you since u posted the vid. you have a totally legit arguement that Baldo is a bum. I'm just adding more insight as to why the bum got ko-ed cuz honestly, if your an athlete, chances are another athlete in the same profession 19 yrs your junior is gonna **** u up..

As far as the original arugement that the thread starter was saying, im pretty drunk and spend my energy defending baldo a bit but I will say that the baby on your avatar is just to cute for the hood, may god bless it.

So my friend,what's ur take on the catchweight,vacant belt title against Margarito that Pacman is about to do??Is that cack to,or are U like mister Cung lee,up there??

Margarito doesn't deserve the chance
Saying that, they are just using his name and feeding him to Pac
The catchweight is fine, Margarito last fought at 154, Pac at 146... so 151 is perfectly fair
Margarito isn't a walk over, he's arguably a good style for Pac but it's not like they've set up a clear cut win for Manny to get the belt.

Yes,I've come to realize this!!I've always been a heavy critic of Floyd!!I've always seen him as someone who cherrypicked his way to the top,but lately it's become clear that what's good enough for his counterpart must be good enough for Floyd!!At least Baldomir was a lineal titlist at 147 when Floyd breezed by him!!He was a real champ in a real weight class!!It would seem hypocritical for any other fan of other fighters who love catchweights for vacant titles to ever try & discredit Floyd's run at 147 again!!Therefore as suck,I will no longer talk crap about Floyd because the boxing world has started to accept less of it's fighters who claim to be greats!!

Also, that's a ridiculous thing to say without comparing who Floyd fought at 147 with these catchweight opponents
It all depends on the pedigree of the opposition.

Ur such a sad hypocrite,why don't u post what a near 40 year old Mosley did to Margarito now I dare U,hypocrite!!I bet all the other Pachuggers avoid the truth like their life depended on it,ar least U keep steadily plodding forward!!

You mean the same 38 year old mosley who had a split decision against cotto, the same mosley who almost knocked floyd out in 2 but latered got shut out and embarassed.

Since you want to call people hypocrite. Why don't you post what margarito did to Sergio Martinez. How come paul williams couldnt knocked margarito and fought a very close fight against marg, while a 38 year old shane shut margarito out and knocked him the **** out.

I personally believe that Floyd is huge cherrypicker homey,but he isn't the only 1!!In my opinion,The point is valid,as do most other posters on here!!Say what U like,but Baldomir earned that title by beating Jab Judah,fair & square,I for 1 gave Floyd & his fans hell for fighting Baldomir instead of the real challenges & I'm gonna keep screaming that if anybody thinks it's ok for Pacman-Margarito to be accepted,Floyd's win over the champion Baldomir should too!!

15 years old, huh Cung Le?

So so so,do U really think that Margarito can beat Martinez now??News flash,he can't & he can't beat the Punisher or any other top 5 jr middleweights either!!But since he can fight for a title against the fighter of the decade,no one has a right to discredit Floyd!!This tread isn't about triangle theories son,it's comparing cherrypicking!!Triangle theories don't work,go somewhere!!

Unanimous Descion, should have probably been a split though in fairness.

What your saying is a hypocrisy isn't hypocrisy though, just a clash of stlyes, styles makes fights. Because Williams beat Margarito, and Williams couldnt knock out yet Margarito beat and knocked out Martinez, while Mosley ko'd Margarito, isnt hypocrisy, just different fighters.

Again, TS isnt defending Mayweathers fight with Baldomir, hes saying its hypocrisy to discredit his win over Baldomir yet priase Pacqiauo for fighting Margarito. I'm pretty sure TS doesnt defend Mayweathers fight with Baldomir or Pacqiauos with Margarito..

Nobody's saying Baldomir wasn't a legitimate CHAMPION
He won a WBC eliminator, then the belt like you said
The Judah fights with both pretty much lined Floyd & Baldomir up with eachother, so there was no reason the fight shouldn't have happened
Floyd's win over him gets questioned based on Baldomir's ability, nothing else
I don't see why the comparison is being made with the Margarito/Pac fight.
