No one gave Floyd a chance against Baldomir

Why do people talk down Floyd's achievement after he beat Carlos.Before the fight no one gqve Floyd a chance.Bert Sugar said Carlos was a bigger man,who kept coming and no Floyd wouldnt be able to stop him.Larry Merchant said Robinson never lost against a welterweight but against middleweights.He went on to say Floyd while he had skill and speed,his punches wouldnt have any effect on Carlos.Mosley father said Carlos walked at 180 and was an exceptionally big man who wouldnt lose to Floyd.

When Floyd made it easy,why did everyone all of a sudden start pointing at Carlos 9 losses?
Why is everyone now saying Floyd never took challenges when Carlos was said to be a big test?
Will this guy ever get respect?

Floyd Mayweather's path to greatness has reached a major obstacle in the road in Carlos Baldomir. While Baldomir may not be Hall of Fame material like Mayweather, he is undeniably the biggest man Floyd has ever faced in the ring, a true welterweight and a champion. Can Mayweather, who started his meteoric career at 126 pounds, beat the boxing axiom that says weight eventually is the great equalizer?

"High-skill fighters in their prime like Mayweather generally can only be beaten by themselves, or by bigger opponents as they outgrow their weight class," said Larry Merchant, HBO's longtime commentator. "In fighting his first big, strong welterweight, Floyd will be tested as never before. Virtually no lightweight or welterweight ever beat Sugar Ray Robinson, but middleweights did." "As you get in the ring with bigger and bigger opponents," boxing historian Bert Sugar said, "your punches do not have as much effect, and the punches of the bigger opponents begin to have more effect on you.

A man who knows more than a little about power punching and the effect additional weight has on a boxer is Jack Mosley, father and trainer of Shane, who rose from lightweight all the way to junior middle. Jack Mosley thinks size will be a definite factor in this fight. "Baldomir is a strong fighter, a powerful guy. He rocked Zab (Judah), something Floyd could not do," Mosley said.

What could also be a factor is Mayweather's lack of ring time with welterweights. While all 58 of Baldomir's fights have been against welterweights, Mayweather has had only two fights at 147 pounds, and those were against fighters who had fought the bulk of their career at lower weights, Judah and Arturo Gatti
