The recent string of victories by WBC welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir has catapulted the Argentine fighter to elite status among the welterweights.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is the current number one contender to the crown of Baldomir, and Mayweather has an open slot for his scheduled November 4 pay-per-view.
There are some in the media that give Baldomir a chance, a shot, even a good shot, of giving Mayweather trouble and even pulling off an upset.
Don't get me wrong, Mayweather received plenty of accolades for beating Arturo Gatti and Zab Judah, and I'm not here to say Carlos Baldomir should not get any respect for the same wins, but I will say that Baldomir's wins should not unrealistic scenarios of an upset.
In my opinion, Baldomir pulling off an upset over Mayweather would rank in the same category as Buster Douglas pulling off the upset over Mike Tyson in 1990. [details]
