If Miguel Cotto was a GBP fighter....

[Jack Napier]

Would Mayweather have fought Cotto when they were the top 2 WW back in late 07 early 08??

no..............

If I am not mistaken the Pac-Morales 3rd fight did over 300k and they did it at a weight-class that is not historically rich on PPV like WW is.

That doesn't mean that Pac-Morales III had any interest, or was a necessary fight.

They were 1-1 though.

a win is a win, why you making excuses now?

who's makin excuses?i'm lettin you know that zab didn't get beat up by baldomir in that fight and baldomir didn't make judah look bad it was a big deal that zab lost because of who he lost to not how he lost unlike morales who got a boxing lesson from raheem befor losin to manny for the 1st time

how was margarito the best ww when at that point he had never beat a boxer wit a name?the closes thing to a name boxer was a prospect in cintron.margarito beat lewis but about a year or 2 after mayorga did and why is it that margarito had never fought shane,oscar,forrest,mayorga,spinks or judah?if he would of beat 1 of those fighters than maybe you would have a better argument but he didn't and baldomir did

He had the overall the best WW resume, he was 5-0 at the time against top 10 WWs, he had the longest title reing at the time. And, he damn sure was better than Baldomir.

And, for that question in the bold, why do you think that is?

Think about it.

Baldomir was a tough dude, but he lacked punching power. Judah is weak minded and tends to fold under pressure, besides all that, I see both of them as good opponents for Mayweather to face at the time. To me, it's always been about what Mayweather SHOULD have done after Hatton, atleast to me.

Can i say that this just prove how weak mayweather resume really is?

I wont throw stones at Mayweather, because as you said it wasnt his fault.

But the fact is baldomir just got KO by saul. And Judah its not even on the radar of the elites.

[-Kev-]

Have you thought that both Judah and Baldomir is overrated? That their not the same level as they should be? At the end of the day Baldomir was just a level above journeyman.

Margarito was just a level above Journeyman also. You can argue that Baldomir's winning streak from 1999-2006 was better than Margarito losing to Santos arguably twice in that same span.

They were 1-1 though.

But, Morales was done though, shot to pieces in the fight, Pac had just KO'd him, itwas no need for that 3rd fight, it was lame for that fight to happen. It was unnecessary should of never happened.

Good point, and while Baldomir clearly won...IT WAS CLOSE.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

I was actually taking about Floyd-Judah not Floyd Baldomir.

Na i mean the guy you quoted was talking about Mayweather/Baldo that's why the misunderstanding but whatever..

When people say Floyd ducked such and such it should be taken with a grain of salt. Fights don't get made over night and the two people he supposedly ducked were under top rank at the time, which is the main reason margarito/Cotto fights never got made. I mean Cotto didn't even rise to the top @ 147 untill just before Floyd fought Hatton. Floyd had already gone on record he would retire after the bout long before Cotto beat Mosley.

you might want to read dom post, baldomir was slow, has no punching power.

And that baldomir beat Judah, and that same Judah lose to Mayweather.

Morales>>>>>>>>> Baldomir and Judah
