    Floyd Gets 8 mil + 1 for Baldy & Gets KO in 9?

    There is a article on BT with Floyd's advisor & Co trainer. Ive seen guys post articles off there before but I dont know how you guys do it considering they block everything. Anyways, he says that Floyd will be making exactly 1 dollar more then what Margarito was offering. This is interesting because G. Leon asked Arum the other day do you think that Floyd will get the 8mil from Baldy and he said NO. He said that we will soon find out because they have to put it in the contract. Weve heard a bunch of different prices but Floyd's guy said that it is in the contract.

    The 2nd article is this one where a writer picks Floyd to get TKO in 9 because at some point you have to go toe to toe to beat Baldy and Floyd will get killed. He said that Floyd cant go toe to toe with him but I disagree. I still say that Floyd carries more pop at 147 then people give him credit for and that he will get stronger each fight as he puts on more weight. I said that the other part of it was that he was also fighting lefties where he couldnt let it all go but he will against a righty and will land alot of power shots.

    I also really think he will surprise people against Baldy & Margarito by going toe to toe alot more then people think and actually walking them down. I say that because he's a much more confident offensive fighter now and even if your not as strong, you can still walk down guys who you are much faster then. Both Baldy & Margarito struggle going backwards like alot of power guys do & both are too slow to react when a real fast guy is putting pressure on them. Its like Shane vs Vargas. Vargas always came after Shane but in the last round of the 2nd fight it flipped & Shane started walking him down. Manny said that he is doing it because Shane feels Vargas is too slow & he can land all night without being hit in return despite the size advantage. Soon after Vargas was KO. Floyd will do the same to Baldy after the 4th round.

    Arum said they have to eventually release some kind of official form which will reveal the true money figures. for now its all speculation but he could be making the 8 million plus one or a bit more or less.
    With respect to the fight i think baldi has a minute chance but he lacks the power and activity to have a true part, Mayweather should and will pck him apart and IMO stop him late (TKO) because of too many clean punches. maybe baldi goes the distance but i feel his chances are very slim, but they do exist, barely.

      Floyd can go toe to toe later in the fight.
      He would domiante in the pocket, his stamina is incredible.

        Floyd could definitely go toe to toe with Baldy, because Baldy won't be hitting him, or hitting him cleanly, regardless.

        If Floyd doesn't go toe to toe he wins a wide UD.

        If Floyd fights in the pocket, he wins by a late TKO.

            I dont think Baldy can hang with Floyd but then I rewatch the Baldy-Gatti fight and I do love this guy. I still wish that Baldy couldve fought Hatton or Cotto 1st because I think he wouldve won. I love his technique. He is definatly a good fighter but Floyd is just a bad matchup for him.
