    yeah ... I seen an interview with E. Steward ... and he made sense ... he was saying that Hearns had trouble with brawlers rather than technical boxers ... even though I disagree, it would make for a good arguement.

    Mayweather has to be up there in the top 20 if not top 10 in the history of boxing ... with his credentials and add to that that he's never really came out of a fight beat up and came out on top 39 times out of 39 ...

    Many people think he lost that fight.

    Baldomir is a joke.

    De la Hoya and Judah also were lineal at some points of their careers.

    Baldomir might be a joke, but at the time he was the recognized champion and if it weren't for sanctioning fees he wouldve been the undisputed champion.

    He did beat the undisputed champion Judah and defend his title against Arturo Gatti.

    If he fight and beats Pacquiao (the fight would probably be at catchweight or at 147) people will say he's beaten another small man. He could beat Pacman and then old Mosley but people, imo, won't give him respect until he fights Margarito.
