How would he do against prime Tommy Hearns at 147 or the Hearns that flattened Duran?? Obvioulsy he would have been murdered but would Tommy put him to sleep as well??? Andrey
Well, call me crazy, but taking shot from Judah, Gatti and Mayweather Jr doesn't really make him the Ollie McCall of the WW division does it? Gatti was a big puncher when he was a little guy fighter even smaller guys. Judah hasn't really KO'd anyone of note since leaving 140 aside from Spinks. So short answer is NO.... It's good, but not great.
How is the Hell did a box-off for the vacant title happen between Baldomir and Forrest? Baldomir had never even fought at that weight before. Crooked boxing org's, no doubt, Hell, almost as crooked as Bush, Inc.
Well Spinks has fought as high as 160 vs Jermain Taylor and hasn't even been dropped so I say Judah stopping him is pretty good and Cosme has never been dropped in any fight except the Judah fight and he just fought two big bangers in Julio and Berto so Judah EASILY taking him out in 3 rounds is very impressive.
1 .- Oscar De la Hoya (US-Mex) 2 .- Carlos Baldomir (Argentina) 3 .- Vernon Forrest (US) 4 .- Michele Piccirillo (Italy) EBU 5 .- Sergio Martinez (Argentina) LATINO 6 .- Kassim Ouma (Uganda) 7 .- Javier Mamani (Argentina) ABMH/FESUBOX 8 .- Andrey Tsurkan (Ukraine) NABF 9 .- Yuri Foreman (Belarussia) 10 .- Zaur Baysangurov (Russia) 11 .- Jamie Moore (GB) BBBoC 12 .- Fernando Vargas (US) 13 .- Verno Phillips (US) 14 .- Toshiharu Kaneyama (Japan) OPBF/ABCO 15 .- Christophe Canclaux (France ___________________________________________ Well since forrest is number 3 and Baldomir is number 2 I can see why. How Baldomir got rated number 2 at 147 I'm not sure but he was the WBC Welterweight champ in his last fight so if he says he's going up to 154 you'd rate him high.
I wasn't saying Judah HAS no power, but if he fought his career at WW as opposed to most at 140, his KO percentage would be much lower.
