Who do you think Floyd considers a tougher fight, Judah or Baldomir?

    I think Zab would probably be better overall in Mayweather's mind. But he probably thinks they both are not a tough challenge.

        Zab may have lost to Baldomir, but that doesn't mean Baldomir is better. It means Baldomir was better that night. Judah clearly has better skills than Baldomir, lets be real.

          better skills, maybe. his chin/heart are far worse. but a good chin and a decent punch is all it takes to be a tougher night for floyd, ask corley.

            Zab Judah. Judah underestimated Baldmoir.

              baldy is nothing special. he just knew how to beat zab judah that night. floyd would roll over baldy like he does to everybody else.

                Don't compare Corley to Baldomir. Corley is a pretty slick, talented boxer who just cannot get to elite status. He has given pretty much every top guy he's fought a run for their money at one point or another. He has beaten everyone else that he's fought.

                He has much quicker hands than Baldomir and is not face first. Floyd hasn't shown that he takes any opponent lightly so far so what makes you think he'd take a 147 pound champion lightly?

                  im not comparing them but it's obvious people with solid chins and motivation are a tougher fight for floyd than punchers with glass chins he can drop with one left hook like corrales.

                    Look, neither of these guys are realistically going to give Floyd hell, at least on paper. In the past you're right, tough fighters with good chins have given Floyd more trouble, but those fighters (Chavez, Castillo, Augustus) were all infinitely more skilled that Carlos Baldomir has shown to be.

                    Corrales lacked the agility and handspeed to time Floyd or hit him with a bomb he didn't see. I think Floyd was also just in his head. Judah may turn out to do the exact same **** Corrales did, but I think the fact that he's nearly as quick as Floyd would give Floyd more trouble.

                      i think his chin is what made it an easy night
