    not a good defense/excuse since nobody knew this back then.

        Margarito's bum ass? What about Baldomir's bum ass? Anyone who knows boxing would have wanted to see Margarito over Baldomir.

        I can still hear the boos during that fight ...... boooooooooooo!

            Just prior to Floyd fight Baldomir, it was concensus, Floyd didn't want anything to do with Carlos... coming off an 8+ year winning streak, a pressure fighter with a granite chin and a sizeable weight advantage... a lot of people thought it was a huge risk....

            Easy to look back and see how easy the fight was for Floyd, doesn't negate the fact that at the time, that was the fight for Floyd... it was publicized on ESPN for Floyd to take it before he did.

                Here you have it.

                Floyd could eat McDonalds for a year and go knock out Vitali.

                Then all you'd hear is 'Slow, robotic, past it. Fight X instead'

                Baldomir was ****. But hindsight is 20/20

                                    Didn't Lederman ask him if he was ducking Baldomir in an interview?

                                        LOL!! You can tell this was a new Floyd fan after the Oscar fight.

                                        Margarito was ranked 2/3 in the division at the time Floyd ducked him.
