    LOL......

    Alot of people try to rewrite history but people were really dogging Mayweather about Baldomir because he beat Zab and then Floyd fought Zab first instead of him so people were mad as hell!

    They REALLY thought he could beat Floyd! :-(

    well it wasn't going to be billed as 'Easy Work', PPV would've shot through the roof had it did.

    Agenda driven lunatic :-(

    In all fairness to Baldomir he was on a 15 or so undefeated streak and had wins over Clottey (Although by DQ) as well as Gatti, Judah and a couple of nice resume fillers. I'm assuming, and could well be wrong but I think he was the number one welterweight at the time he fought floyd as well.

    It was a good win for Floyd, which tends to be overrated or underrated by most but it's probably around the 10 ish Mark in his best wins IMO.

    He waslosing to Clottey by the 3 judges when the fight was stopped.

    He won against Judah but we all know who Judah is. Gatti?Why do we even need to mention this?

    No way in hell would baldomir win, if they fight 1000 times. His punches are way telegraphed, and the delivery is really extremely slow. He was plodding, and he does not even pack a wallop to consider a punch upset.

    Apparently Baldomir is high risk by Floyd's standards.
