breakdown of a madman...his words are in quotes. my comments in bold
"Instead of Spinks, Floyd would challenge Carlos Baldomir, who was undefeated for 8 years, was lineal champion and held all but one of the titles in the division. This fight all but sealed the deal that Floyd Mayweather was the biggest threat to 147 and possibly 154 at the time."
beating baldomir sealed the deal that he was the best at 147? who wold really believe this besides a floyd fan? its like saying zsolt erdei was better than tarver or hopkins becasue he was lineal champ. no one was sayin that and no one would stoop that low but lets continue...
"NOTE: While boxing purists criticized Floyd's selection of Baldomir, it was only because of Baldomir's fight style, which was not 'eye test' pleasing. His dissection of Arturo Gatti solidified that he was not to be overlooked"
NOTE: gatti was shot and baldomir struggled in an even fight until getting the ko. why would you even mention the gatti fight? mind bobbling.
"Floyd had now essentially cleaned out 147 of any credible (i.e. non-'eye test') opposition, leaving only 154 where De La Hoya was still considered top dog."
so because he beat baldomir he cleaned out 147? while never fighting margarito who had been #1 for 3 years in a row. convenient. also oscar was top dog at 154? he had one win there in 4 years and was ranked #6 according to the ring.
don't let this happen to you folks. good posters don't let other posters go full baldomir
