looked you asked I told you , if its so ***gity ass lets see margarito fight at 160 if it not such a big deal , he should have no problem fighting a guy at 160 if it such a small detail.
Lol.. I left the thread because I was busy doing something. I posted in the lounge quickly. I didn't have to time to sit and read through a nut hug fest of Margo fans. But I find it funny you call Baldomir not a legit WW. Considering he became the Lineal WW Champion... unlike Margo or Cotto. And he's fought there nearly his whole career... Take away the Lineal Championship he's still a legit WW
Why don't the guys at 160 fight at welter then? It is after all a more lucrative division. Why is Vernon at 154 when his best work is at 147? Why? Because they can't make the weight without killing their bodies. Margo CAN, therefore he is a Welter.
Just because Floyd beat Carlos Baldimir who was a lineal champion does'nt mean it was a great win considering the level of Baldimir who's a B- level fighter at best and I only give him that high of a rating because he was the lineal champion and nothing more.
No one is saying Baldomir is great. Floyd was jumping weight and fighting the number 1 guys of each division. At 140 he couldn't fight Zoo or Cotto or Hatton so Gatti was the best choice. Baldomir was #1 at 147. DLH #1 at 154 Cotto nor Margo have yet to become Lineal or a true number 1 to their division.
Again I have no problem with who Floyd fights personally, I have always defended him from unreasonable people, I'm just saying that lets keep his win over Baldimir in perspective whether he was the Lineal champ or not.
It was a good win for Floyd. But it wasn't a great fight. Floyd showed that he was levels above Ta Ta. But Ta Ta was the official champ. If Baldo was the official champ right now, Margo would be going after him too.
