Floyd: "I Will Go Toe To Toe With Baldomir"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

At a recent New York press conference to announce that November 4 meeting between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (36-0, 25KOs) and Carlos Baldomir (43-9-6, 13KOs), the self-proclaimed "Pretty Boy" let it be known that he will not run from the bigger Baldomir in the fight. Mayweather predticted that he will stand toe to toe with the champion, fighting him and using his skills to box him silly. [details]

yeah, like he went toe to toe with Gatti.

[eazy_mas]

that is an exciting thing to do similat to James Toney style of defense

[Shanus]

That's what SRL said in his first fight with Duran.

Everybody knows how that played out, I hope he's just saying this to throw off Baldomir's game plan.

Baldomir is a Duran.

[Shanus]

Baldomir is a Duran.

Nope, but Mayweather aint SRL either.

[jack_the_rippuh]

Nope, but Mayweather aint SRL either.

He's more of an SRL than Baldomir is a Duran.

[Shanus]

He's more of an SRL than Baldomir is a Duran.

Stylistically? No.

Think about it, Mayweather is the smaller man in this fight, Ray Leonard was the bigger man in his fight, Leonard could HIT, Mayweather can't, Baldomir is a slugger, Duran was a slugger.

If anything, Mayweather has less of a chance winning standing toe to toe than Leonard did.

SRL didn't have the good defense Mayweather has.
That's why Mayweather can last for such a long time.
He has the natural things and he has the skills.

His defense won't be ass affective if he stands toe to toe, if he fights like he did against Corrales, it's going to be a one sided beating on his part, but standing toe to toe with somebody who has a chin like Baldomir will wipe out the '0' on his record.
