I'm good with whoever wins this fight; and while I'm not really rooting against Floyd, I am kind of pulling for Baldomir because I have this thing for underdogs, and Carlos is a complete throw-back: a guy you'd never heard of who fought in obscurity, had not television lights nor fan-fair and when his chance came, he made the most of it. You gotta luv that, I know I do.
Anyway, it's not an "anti-Floyd" feeling, just a "Go get 'em Baldo!!" kind of sentiment....if that makes any sense.Comment

You have some points, but dont you think Baldomir is a much tougher fight than Margarito? the man walks around 180, and beat Judah and Gatti, 2 named fighters. Baldomir is much bigger than MargI'm good with whoever wins this fight; and while I'm not really rooting against Floyd, I am kind of pulling for Baldomir because I have this thing for underdogs, and Carlos is a complete throw-back: a guy you'd never heard of who fought in obscurity, had not television lights nor fan-fair and when his chance came, he made the most of it.

Actually, yes I do. Baldomir's got the style that could really give Floyd fits. He's not as big a puncher as Margarito, it's true; but he's in your face constantly and doesn't let you breathe. With Margarito, you don't have that to the same degree. Margarito, from what I've seen, he pressures you; but is primarily looking to land something big; that makes him more predictable and easier to avoid, in my estimation.
Whereas Baldomir is also "predictable", he's not as easily avoided. He doesn't have a great punch, so he has to beat you with volume and muscle you around on the inside to wear you out.
Style-wise, Baldomir is tougher for Mayweather than Margarito would be, IMHO.Comment
