    If Baldomir wins in style tonight, why shouldn't Floyd fight him instead of Margarito

    Baldomir with a good win tonight would have beaten Judah and Gatti in his last two outings. These two fighters are both better than anyone Margarito has beaten. I know there is not a massive argentine fan base in America, but this guy will become a huge star in his homeland with a win tonight and this is not a nation that is unfamiliar with producing great boxers. Carlos Monzon for exmaple. I just can't see why Floyd shouldn't fight baldy instead of Margarito at that point and try to become the undisputed #1 at 147. Isn't that what everyone was complaining he failed to do at 140. If Margarito wants to become part of this discusion, maybe he should beat a relevant opponent in this division. Don't tell me no one will fight him. I guarantee you that Judah or Mitchell would be happy to. Frankly based on his wide punching and lack of speed either would probably beat him. If Baldy wins tonight, he will be the man at 147 and the guy who Floyd should take on next.

    PBF has 8 million reasons why taking the fight with margo and not Baldi.

            Floyd has beaten mitchell and judah at 147. Both are probably better than cintron

              You're probably right, Cory or Baldi might be safer options for Mayweather and then maybe if he stays undefeated, take on DLH next year?

                That's the craziest post I've read in a while.

                edit: I suppose you should be more clear... I've reread that post and can interpret it 3 different ways.

                  spinks would be a tough opponent but we all pretty much know floyd would win

                    I hope he goes down a notch on P4p rankings as well!
