If Floyd did what Canelo did to Lara, you would say Floyd is ducking Lara.

baldomir was lineal champ and hearns wasn't. its the same exact reasoning you are using to say baldomir was better than cotto, pac, and margarito.

Reaching for the stars huh Daggum. HAHAHA!

[daggum]

The guys good but hes that "guy". The one who will end the hype. You know theres always one till he loses then theres another one they are ducking

aren't you the same guy that is currently hyping up baldomir as a great win and thought ortiz was a beast? yet you wait years until guys like margarito and lara lose and then you say "see told you he wasn't a threat" why didn't you say that about baldomir and ortiz? we knew those guys ****** until they scored fluke wins but as soon as they do that floyd fans get amnesia for some strange reason.

please explain the difference? just at welterweight. why is baldomir better than margarito who was ranked #1 for years but never lineal. hearns was also ranked #1 for years and never the lineal champ so surely baldomir is better than hearns right?

baldomir was lineal champ and hearns wasn't. its the same exact reasoning you are using to say baldomir was better than cotto, pac, and margarito.

The lineage went from Ricardo Mayorga to Cory Spinks to Zab Judah to Carlos Baldomir.

Worst lineage ever?

No im saying winning the lineal championship is a great win which it is unless you dont like championships. Ortiz was number 3 ranked WW, coming off impressive win and WBC Champion. Of course that means nothing to you cause championships mean nothing to you and you want them to fight who you want them to fight or they ducking.

Said Lara is good and think he is good. What i meant by that statement was when Canelo fights him and beats him there will be another that you boys will say he is ducking. Such is the pattern of NSB. You should know that your in the heart of it

No this is Floyd lineal championship so naturally it is the worse....ever

[Nay_Sayer]

He fought De La Hoya in 07 and Mosley in 2010.

So exactly how does that work?

Let me explain it.

Floyd was open to fighting Margarito back in 2006 - and this is a matter of public record. Arum wanted Mayweather to resign with TR as a condition for the Margarito fight. Mayweather wanted the de la Hoya fight and elected to buy out his contract with TR, fight Baldomir for the LINEAR 147lb title, then set the PPV record in a fight with de la Hoya. Resigning with TR would have meant the de al Hoya fight would have *never* happened. Arum is on record saying he wanted NO part of a de la Hoya Mayweather fight.

So, anyone who subscribes to the notion that Mayweather "ducked" Margarito is full of **** seeing as Floyd fought a more dangerous fighter in de la Hoya @ 154lbs the very next year.

De la Hoya was coming off of an impressive 6 round KO victory over Ricardo Mayorga - a guy who held two wins over Vernon Forrest and would have mopped the floor with Margarito. Bricks or no....

[IronDanHamza]

Floyd should have fought Margarito.

High risk not so high reward but he should have taken the fight.

Schmeling - Baer - Braddock was worse
