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

[Easy-E]

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

Floyd has the 5 inch reach advantage and 1 inch height advantage.
Floyds arms are freakishly long...to his advantage.

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

exactly, people here are sleeping on mayweather

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.

Floyd walks around at 154, Baldomir walks around at 180 and has to kill himself to make 147. He is by far the larger man.

why do you talk ****?

you dont even know that for a "FACT" your only guessing!

[-EX-]

Floyd said he will still box. Floyd can take some punches. He didn't say he was gonna fight like Arturo Gatti. Floyd knows how he can and will win this fight. I think it will be a difficult fight for him though because Baldomir will give him problems.

Its true that Carlos Baldomir does walk around much heavier than welterweight. Well Jim Lampley at least said it during the Gatti fight. I don't know about Floyd walking around at 154.

[AllEyesOpen]

I think Bladomir likes to dive in & that's when he's gonna get caught all night long by PBF, All Floyd has to do is stand his ground, stay at the right distance, stay away from the ropes & counter. & even if Baldomir walks around at 180 the reach advantage will be Floyds, just like Gatti had the reach advantage except Floyd knows how to use that advantage

He's not talkin ****, for example, if you actually watched the HBO broadcast of Baldomir / Gatti fight in July, Jim Lampley and the crew made it a point in the pre-fight show to point out how Baldomir walks around at about 180, sometimes even borderline 190.

Makin weight for that guy must be a straight *****.

See Mayweather90 knows what's really good.

Like what the majority of people have already said, Mayweather would be crazy to go toe-to-toe with Baldomir. Though Mayweather may possess arguably more technique, speed, and skill, Baldomir just packs way too much more of a punch.

Mayweather's only chance to win would be box, not brawl.

mayweather would kick SRL any day! lol
