judah was .....good point what are baldomir and judah now nothing,,, when the real talent in the division starts to blossom, william,quintana,margo (hes benn ffor a while), mosley coming back down to 147 and looking great, cotto,,guys like judah and baldo disapear from the top cause their talent comes short to those fighters and they are irrelevant ,, those guys mean nothing anymore
-Judah, who was Top3 at that time and former Undisputed Champ -Baldo, who was the Linear Champ. -Hatton, who won a belt in that division -in a close fight.
of those 3 judah is the only one that is still ranked in the top 10, there is no space for baldomir and hatton in todays 147 division they just dont cut it baldomir is a journeyman and hatton an undersized bum, judah is in the back end of the pack he is not upper echeleon
wow this guy is really really dumb,judah was thought to be an absolute destructive force at ww,that win is really a great win,baldomir was recognised champ,hatton held a belt and is certainly no bum,he'd be contender level at ww,most definatly not a bum.beating oscar at 154 means alot more than most of the other top ww's of the minute.
Exactly PBF fought the champs. Judah was the man after he had his KO win over Spinks. The PBF-Zab fight was already setup before the Baldo-Zab fight and they went ahead with it anyway after he lost because it would make for a good fight. And then PBF goes back and takes on Baldo to erase any doubts who the man is at 147. Margo was under Bob Arum and PBF was getting away from Arum and I am sure doing business was difficult at that time which is why that fight didnt happen.
Based on the above, your answer to your own question is: "3". Baldomir's late bloomer, all his 9 losses occured pre-2000; undefeated for 7 years prior to the Mayweather match. He won against Judah who you consider being a top 10, which made Baldomir a top 10 at the time. Also happened to be the champ: you can't fight anyone higher in rankings than the champ. Luis Collazo was ranked among the top 10 at the time of his fight against Hatton: makes Hatton a top ten, given the win. Please note that you asked about the top 10 (since PBF joined the WW division) and not the current top 4.
****ing hell its so called fans like you that are a disgrace to boxing,every single one of your posts is to bash mayweather,you do nothing else,i don't think many of the posters on here can even name ur fav fighter due to the fact you hate on mayweather every second of the day,thats the only fighter you seem to post about,get a life or at least come up with some original material:hi: peace
its funny how FRAUD fanatics think that a win over baldomir was a great achievment, and get pissed off when you discredit that win,, how many fighters in the top 5 WW will baldomir beat today,,NONE, and judah NONE the thing is your hero beat those guys when the division was WEAK but when the real tough WW started to compete in the division he decided to leave with his tail between his legs and still to this day he refuses to challenge a top 5 WW
