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

[RAESAAD]

exactly, people here need to watch mayweather fight and see his power! he beat an A+ Judah which/who was the true champ at 147 that dismantled everyone when he was motivated and trained properly)

He did not even make Judah do a 3rd Chicken dance......Mayweather has little power at WW and was never a Power guy anyway....he KOs people by accumulation of shots not his Power.......

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]

We all know that is BS. Baldomir is going to be coming forward and Floyd is going to be moving backwards, doing the little shoulder roll and trying to counter.

Even though Baldomir is a true welter and has been at welter for a long time, Floyd actually has the height and reach advantage. Floyd has the larger frame of the two, just will probably weight 5 pounds less. So I don't know about the "bigger" talk.

how you figure maywether cant hit

now baldy he cant hit
maywether has a better ko ratio than decision ratio

Mayweather has a better ko ratio at the lower weight classes, he's had two fights at 147, and KO ratio isn't everything.

Are you sure he has the longer reach? Baldomirs reach advantage over Gatti was quite substantial.

[GunStar]

I've said this couple a weeks ago, I guess I was right!

[GunStar]

yeah, like he went toe to toe with Gatti.

Which fight were you watching, he went toe to toe with Gatti.

If I recall correctly Gatti was the one with the reach advantage. & that chicken dance was just cause Judah didn't take the time to recover from the shot, he just jumped up with absolutely no equalibrium, it was funny to watch but I don't think it was a devistating shot, if he had taken an 8 count I think he could have continued.

WTF are you guys talking about? Have you guys ever even seen Floyd before? Since the N'Dou fight he has spent mostly a 100% of the time going toe to toe and walking guys down. He stayed in the pocket against N'Dou & Bruseles, walked down Chop Chop, Mitchell, & Zab, and he traded with Gatti all night.


What are you clowns talking about? You guys act like Floyd just runs all night. He always fights now. He is always on the offensive and looking to land. I have already told everyone that Floyd will spend alot of the time toe to toe with Baldy & Margarito.

Here's somethings you guys have to think about. Floyd has much more power then you guys give him credit for and he is a super accurate puncher. He stopped every guy I just named on that list except for Zab & Chop but he dropped Chop twice and may have stopped Zab if it wasnt for the low blows. Both of those guys were lefty's so its harder for him to get his full power shots on them.

Baldy is a righty who is slower then Floyd & may not even have more power. You guys think you have to be some kind of mad-man brawler type to go toe to toe. You can also do it with skill. Floyd goes toe to toe because his D is so great and he's so smart. He can stand right in front of you, not take hardly any clean shots and fire back with combos, similar to what Toney does but Floyd is faster so it works even better.

You guys are ****** if you think Floyd is scared to or wont stand in the center of the ring in the pocket and go toe to toe with Baldy. Its not about trading. All you guys think about is stuff like Gatti vs Hatton. Floyd will stand in the center and just try to pick off all of Baldy's shots and then fire back and he can do it.

I think he will stick to his normal game plan which is to box for the 1st 3 or 4 rounds, then settle down after that and stay in the pocket from like the 4-6, and then after that he will box again for the 7th & 8th, by that time you will be worn down and he will now become the stalker and walk you down the rest of the fight. I bet thats what happeneds this fight. I also bet Floyd will show alot of power in this fight because Baldy is a righty, so Floyd can see everything coming, and he is too slow. He will also be more adjusted to the weight with this being his 3rd fight at the weight.

You guys are laughing about what he said but I want someone to tell me one fight since the N'Dou fight that Floyd didnt go toe to toe and be very offensive the whole fight? You guys have the wrong perception of him if you think he is not a offensive fighter or doesnt ever go toe to toe

[jack_the_rippuh]

Too ****ing long, dawg.

[Easy-E]

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.

Floyd can hurt Baldomir like her hurt gatti. Floyd has the reach advantage, the skills, the speed and everything he needs to work baldomir.
