Yes,I've come to realize this!!I've always been a heavy critic of Floyd!!I've always seen him as someone who cherrypicked his way to the top,but lately it's become clear that what's good enough for his counterpart must be good enough for Floyd!!At least Baldomir was a lineal titlist at 147 when Floyd breezed by him!!He was a real champ in a real weight class!!It would seem hypocritical for any other fan of other fighters who love catchweights for vacant titles to ever try & discredit Floyd's run at 147 again!!Therefore as suck,I will no longer talk crap about Floyd because the boxing world has started to accept less of it's fighters who claim to be greats!!

No announcement yet.
Judging by todays standards Floyd's win over Baldomir is totally legit.

Everybody knows the big fights are about the challenge. Pac and Mayweather could fight for a Cracker Jack plastic ring and it's still the biggest fight out there.
Baldomir should not be a challenge for any elite fighter.

Also Baldomir was a real champ in a real weightclass when Floyd schooled him!!these are facts,Floyd did it cleanly & at the real weight classes,by todays standards,that is enough!!

2. He had belts = True.
3. He actually beat a champion to earn the champion title = True.
4. That makes it totally legit = True.
That's why the lineal championship argument BS seduces cheap journalists.
Was Baldo a bigger threat than Cotto or Margarito?
I say no.
