That's cool accept for 1 thing. There is no rage and intensity in either of these guys, ala Duran. PBF, has some skills, but IMO nowhere near what SRL had. The Brawl In Montreal was a special night. It had the making's of an upset, Duran was the underdog. That night and the weeks leading up to the fight I knew Duran was gonna win. You could just feel it. Todays fighters are all we have. But IMO, they are not at the level of a Duran or Leonard when they fought.

i can see your point of view mate but to me it doesnt fell anythin like it. if prettyboy was an animal and baldy was on anger management then it would feel the same to me

no way, that was the biggest fight other then ali frazier, like ever, this is nothing like that, baldo vs pretty boy reminds me of gatti vs pretty boy

Has a man with 13 KO's just been compared to Roberto Duran?

**Bozo_no no** · 10-22-2006, 07:06 PM

Style wise, maybe, but Baldomir is nowhere near the level of Duran.

Also, the cases are reversed in that Duran was up in weight at Welter, where as in this case Floyd's the one up in weight.

this fight reminds me of pbf-gatti.... baldi is a bit better than gatti but i dont see him doing that much better against mayweather....
