therebaldomir beat judah for the wbc, wba, ibf and ring magazine titles in his hometown nyc. Baldomir didnt hold the wbo but was still basicly the undisputed ww champion of the world, nobody questioned who was the man in the division.
zab won those titles by knocking out cory spinks in his hometown of st.louis.
cory spinks won the ibf outpointing roman karmazin, then unified it with the wbc and wba titles earning the ring magazine title in the process beating ricardo mayorga.
mayorga won the wba title knocking out andrew lewis then unified it with the wbc title by knocking out vernon forrest.
Forrest beat mosley, who beat dlh, who beat whitaker etc etc.. (the man who beat the man, who beat the man..)
i just broke down the ww divsion for years leading up to floyd beating baldomir. Ohh and let me add cotto was at 140 where he turned down a fight with floyd, dlh was at 154 or 160, mosley was at 154, vernon forrest was in retirement, floyd beat zab before fighting baldomir and spinks career was on hold after the ko loss to zab in his home town. The only guy out there was margarito who held the wbo but had no big wins at that stage of his career, no real fanbase and was ranked third in the division (behind zab and baldomir).
Im not saying beating baldomir is a great win for floyd, but u cant say floyd ducked anyone bcuz he took on the man who was highest regarded at the weight at that time. Thats all he can do, or should he be able to see into the future?

The P4P didn't want to fight him, but he's right in his statement and maybe they knew something we didn't know because at the end the people who fought him were victims of assault.
Roger is showing to be a genius who kept his boxer away from the dirty fighter.Comment

floyd didnt avoid marg ****. arum didnt want to pay so floyd made the better decision for his career. resume and businessOriginally posted by horusbob arum: "mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight margarito."
what arum wouldn't do, he said,was raise the guarantees for other fights outlined in the contract.
($10m miguel cotto and $10m ricky hatton)
arum said while mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as miguel cotto and ricky hatton, when arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million

its funny how some agree to anything that supports their argument even though it is wrong. spinks beat karmazin at 154 AFTER he was ko by zab. lineage at 147 went from don king fighter to don king fighter to don king fighter to don king fighter. he wouldnt let any of his fighters anywhere near tony

You can type as many words as you want to validate Baldomir as a fighter.. but I ain't buyin none of that *****t. Dude was barely a B class fighter. Belts don't do a damn thing but collect dust anyway..baldomir was the #1 WW in the world, he held the WBC, WBA, IBF and Ring magazine titles (before vacating the WBA and IBF for monetary reasons). he was the man at the weight, ppl said floyd was ducking him when he fought judah. nobody said shit about margarito until he beat cotto several years later when floyd was already in retirement. tony then got ktfo in his very next fight before floyd returned.
