Karmazin-Mayweather???

Yeah, before the Wright fight he was 5 or 6 on my list, even i didn't want to give him his well deserved props for the 2 wins over B-Hop, but he got a draw & a well deserved one(even though I think he lost, it was too close to not accept the draw) against my no. 2 guy, his agression against Winky was very effective & he landed more shot on Winky then I've seen most fighters land, so i bumped him up a few notches.

I think we saw the exact same Taylor-Wright fight. I had Wright winning a narrow decision but it was so close in so many rounds I couldn't really take exception to the draw. And even if Taylor lost, I have never seen Winky's face look like that after a fight. Btw do you think Winky is fading a little? His last two fights (Soliman and Taylor) he hasn't looked nearly as dominant as against Mosley and Trinidad.

Just to start off I still like Floyd Mayweather as I think he has incredible boxing skills. That being said I think his upcoming bout with Cory Spinks is BS. I have argued on several other threads about how unimpressive Spinks has looked in almost every fight, but clearly that is my opinion not fact. On the other hand, I believe this point should prove that Floyd is in fact cherry picking opponents with titles (especially here). Does anybody believe that Floyd's next fight would be against Karmazin had he beaten Spinks? I am nearly positive that Floyd would still be fighting at 147 or would have challenged Jose Rivera... not Karmazin. Please let me know if you agree or disagree.

yea playa..had Karm won the fight the pretty boy would be facing him...it looks as if pretty boy is only seeking out title holders and spinks is one now....me personally would have wanted him to face Bald and take his big belt...

That was the most logical fight to me also (Baldomir). So you think Karmazin would be the match if he won or you think he would have been a possibility?

I'm not sure cause Soliman came in thowing so many punches from so many angels & still didn't land very many clean shots. Taylor came in with the best trainer & a perfect gameplan; throw straight shot right through the middle of his guard. I honestly just think he's not quite as good looking at 160 as he was at 154 & 147,(against Trinidad he was fighting a small MW at best) but he still gets the job done, & I thought he looked real good against a young champ like Taylor who was a much bigger opponent. What I sometimes wonder though is what would have happened if B-Hop had fought Wright instead of Taylor.

I can't say that I agree with you but at least you stand by your opinions. I had a couple of people tell me that he wasn't cherry-picking Cory Spinks as an opponent but wouldn't have fought Karmazin because he is too big and tough. If that isn't cherry-picking I don't know what is.

Talk about the ultimate defensive technical match up. Hopkins-Wright would be crazy. I give the nod to Bernard in that he was so crafty although I think Winky would be much faster than him. I also think Bernard fights really well against southpaws while Taylor isn't as experienced.

I hope so too, I give Baldomir alot of respect, he's real effective at what he does, he's been doing it so long how can he not be. I would have rather seen that fight more then Margarito or Spinks but what done is done.

Yeah, It might not have been an exciting or entertaining fight, but for a lover of the sweet science of boxing it would have been a match made in heaven.
