Was Carlos Baldomir the worst lineal champion of all time?

[sugarsmosley]

The man earned his shot and won...he was handed anything...so why the hate?

he (baldomir) is truly underrated, i see him fight and im kinda reminded of a young duran

[Wolfie*]

GGG is the king why?? his resume is far from great or even good..he has beaten 0 world champions to this point

Who has a better resume at middleweight to deserve the throne? Cotto or GGG? Thank you, come again.

[Flash13]

That opinion based....the fact is Cotto is the champion and GGG is the number one contender.


We can argue whose best all day, doesn't change Facts

I'm not sure anyone would argue that cotto is better at middleweight than GGG. Do you know anyone who's willing to make that argument?

The guy who's 31-0 with 28KO's & 2 belts at 160 or the guy who's 1-0 with 1 KO and one belt @ 159*?

The guy in his Prime or the guy far past his Prime?

Wilder is 33-0 with 32 ko's and a title./...if some one moves up and beats Wlad they are a better heavyweight then Wilder

[Rostov Papa]

But people hold a lineal belt in high regard. Can we at least agree being a lineal champion doesn't really mean **** sometimes? *cough* Cotto *cough*

Yes... Absolutely.

Cotto being the "lineal" MW champion is a joke, and everybody knows GGG is the real MW champ, and man to beat to claim that prestigious right.

Cottos 1 win at 160 is better then any win GGG has...and in 1 fight he has beaten more champions then GGG

[Larry the boss]

Yes... Absolutely.

Yea cause GGG has beaten??????????????????

[lebrick]

Was rod salka the lowest ranked challenger to a lineal throne of all time?

this is the reason lineal title should be against consensus #1 and #2 only..

[Rostov Papa]

Yea cause GGG has beaten??????????????????

Geale - former champion. He actually held two titles at MW - IBF, but he lost to Barker, and WBA title.

Macklin - should have been a champion becayse everybody knows he beat Sturm. And came a round from beating Martinez a PRIME Martinez without two bum knees.

Stevens - highly dangerous puncher (lol would lvoe to see Cotto fight him).

Rubio - very tough, constant top-10 contender.

Soon to be Murray, who we all know beat Martinez - while not prime, but definitely better than the version Cotto beat wth NO KNEES. Lol he at least had one against Murray.


Now, here's the best part... Riddle me this - why wouldn't Martinez fight GGG, who had been a career MW, with a championship belt for years? And fight Cotto who had NEVER fought at the weight before? And best of all - Why won't Cotto fight GGG? LOL...

[ModernTalking]

I can't think of anyone who was more beatable as a lineal champion. He was slow as hell, very robotic, and very bad in general. Can you think of a more terrible lineal champ than him? Thoughts?

SU! Stop down playing Floyd win, this is one of Floyd greatest win.
