if he is so elite why did he retire and not take on the rising welter weight stars to prove his the best in the division cotto,williams,mosley,clottey:think....cherry picker
he move up in weight 4 months after the bloody fight and move up 3 pounds his natural weight to beat the favored DLH... PBF could have KO'd baldomir but doesnt want to give the fans what they deserved...a dramatic ending
Gatti, Judah? You are kidding? He skipped right over 140lb as well as 147lb,but still had the cheek to go and say he is better than arguably the greatest Welterweight to have ever laced them up. His attitude was disgrace. It has never been his ability as a fighter that has been called into question, just his refusal to fight the best at 147lb, and then to retire prematurely, hailing himself as the greatest that ever lived. It was pure comedy.
have you really watched the baldomir fight? baldomir is ripe for the taking...but what did PBF did? he hit and run amidst the deafning boos of the crowd...there are videos showing how people not paying attention to the fight and loitering somewhere...
This is absolutely true. But the same can be said for the weight drained Oscar and the human punching bag David Diaz. We're in total agreement. Mayweather proved nothing against beating Baldomir, and as far as I'm concerned, won the titles under false pretenses as a result.
Clottey wasn't one of the best at that time newbie...He didn't even have a belt when Floyd retired and had some tough fights with some unknowns Williams got his belt against Margarito in July, 2007 and was supposed to fight Cintron in Feb, 2008 but Cintron got injured in camp so he had to go for Quintana..After losing to Quintana he got his rematch...Williams was a nobody up until he beat Tony in 2007...:deal Cotto was a fight he might have taken eventually..HOW COME COTTO DIDN'T FIGHT HIM AT 140?? If Floyd "ducked" Cotto at 147 than you have to be fair and say Cotto "ducked" Floyd at 140.... Mosley didn't wanna fight Floyd when Floyd was trying to fight him in the Nov, 2006 fight...Mosley had a toothache and a vacation to take so how did Floyd duck Mosley when he was tryin to fight him?:think You wanna go to school again NEWBIE???:rofl
