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

BY THE WAY, ITS LIKE MAYWEATHERS LAST 6-7 IM REFFERING TOO..HE IS NOT FIGHTING ANYONE TO BE CONSIDERED P4P KING

Who somebody fights is not the only thing that factors into p4p rankings. If FLoyd never fought anybody, it's a completely different story. However, he had huge wins earlier in his career and I haven't seen anything to believe his skills have depleated more than just a tiny amount. The p4p is a fictional rating baesd upon who would beat who if they fought if things were even'd out... not who has the best record recently... that's what fighter of the year is for; hence the reason Hatton won last year, and rightfuly so.

As much as I like Winky, and respect what he has done... he isn't #1. You can't draw your last fight and be #1 p4p unless you make the opponent he drew with also #1. Even prior to that, he had good opponents but not very good. Mosley was game but out of his prime, and Tito was out of his prime and weight class.

winky wright ducks no one. fights everybody and usually wins and just drew with undiputed middlweight champ..if shane was so called passed his prime THEN..why is floyd calling him out NOW????????

Baldomir is THE champ, because he beat the man.

In different times everyone should be wanting to fight him, because he would be the one with THE belt, not hatton, not mayweather, not margarito.

Because Floyd likes $$$. ALso, keep in mind styles make fights, as do body types. Winky was a very large Light Middleweight while Shane started his career at Lightweight. Given the type of fight it would be, it's hardly as much as a mismatch as some might try to make it seem.

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.

Makes sense if either Margarito or Floyd go after Baldomir. What doesn't make sense to me is that Floyd's Haters say that he should have fought Baldomir instead of Zab(who's the better fighter in my opinion), now they're saying Gatti (who PBF destroyed) has a chance of winning which I doubt(but I wouldn't be surprised), but if Floyd goes after Baldomir he's a *****. Personally I'd like to see the PBF/Margarito fight just so the hating will stop, but if he goes after Baldomir(if he wins in impressive fashion) & if it's a lucrative move then i wouldn't complain

PLEASE. he is fighting guys who are coming off KO losses

mitchell just came off 2 wins...and judah actually beat baldomir 7-5 he just didnt look good doing it
