    floyd has his work cut out for him.

    he wont be able to push baldys head down with his elbows like he does to smaller opponents. he wont be able to elbow baldy in the head when he comes up and his slaps wont hurt him. this fight could be really boring or a great upset. fraud is just as dirty a fighter if not dirtier than hatton. you all know its true. if you dont believe me watch how many times he elbows gatti in six rounds.

    I guess, but I don't think Baldy can touch Floyd. I was rewatching the destruction of Arturo Gatti by Baldy and noticed something. When Gatti tried to box and actually used his head he avoided numerous punches. Baldomir was missing wildly at times. If Gatti did't turn into brawler mode he could have made the fight interesting. Mayweather will make Baldomir miss ten times as much as Gatti did. This is just what I came to rewatching Baldomir's last fight. As for the elbows I'm not so sure on what to say. I'm pretty sure every boxer has a few tricks up his sleeve. And I wouldn't compare it to what Hatton does.

      floyd is constantly pushing his opponents heads down with his elbows and whe he does the shoulder roll he swings the back elbow up into the head of his opponents. it is far dirtier than clinching and hitting. he wont be able to do that **** to a much bigger and stronger baldomir.

        If Floyd wants to make this an entertaining fight, he might lose.

        But I'm guessing he will be on his bike, cruising to a UD.

            Your just hating. Floyd humiliated Gatti. He may not do the same to Baldomir but he will beat him too. Even if Baldomir isn't hurt Floyd will be landing and he will win the fight.

                That was at 135, Floyds ideal weight.

                This is a whole different ball game.

                  Gatti was at 140, but whatever, i dont think not being able of elbowing is going to hurt him that much

                    Boxrec says it is, but when I think back to the fight I'm sure I remember Bruce Buffer saying it was Lightweight, nvm, I could be wrong.
