    This is Truly Sad

    Why is it that whenever a boxer comes along that stands high above the rest of his peers, he gets polarized and that polarization turns into hate and doubt? In the ninties people could not stand Roy Jones because they claimed he ducked this one and that one. Now we are in the time of Floyd and it seems that he's hated on even more than Roy was.

    Hatton and Cotto were both at ringside when PBF beat the sense out of Gatti. When both of them were asked about potential matches against Floyd they both said we aren't ready yet. Now, how can you be considered the true champion of your division and then state you are not ready for a boxer who has only had 2 fights a 140? That seems a little suspect to me, I can't say anything bad about Cotto because I never heard him talk any trash.

    I think people should just enjoy the best boxer of this day and time. I myself would like to see him tested in fight thats going to make him dig down and show what his heart is made of. Until that day comes I'll just watch and marvel the way this dude boxes circles around his comp.

      U cant blame him for having no one to be able to force him to dig down deep. Dude is just that good right now, nobody is going to force him to dig down deep anytime soon.

        A top of his game Baldomir has the POTENTIAL to make PBF dig down deep, especially if Floyd tries to brawl with the man.

          I'm glad u think so, But I don't. don't get me wrong, I'm gonna watch but Baldomir doesn't have what it takes in my opinion, he just too slow. Gatti was outboxing him when he was boxing, gatti skills aint nowhere near Floyds. Zab skills are close to floyd's but he just has too many mental lapses. Look what happened in that fight, Zab was doing the most until that mental lapse in the 7th. I think the fight will be something like that for the whole 12 rounds.

              I doubt Floyd will really brawl with him, and if Floyd respects his power he'll back up as soon as he feels it, and he'll fight from a distance most likely.

                What power??
                Floyd is probably more just as powerful as Baldomir, with more pop.

                  Hmmm...maybe Baldomir's power could be overrated. He left Gatti on his ass but Mayweather whooped Gatti too. Naturally Baldomir is the stronger man though I believe.
