    How about instead of spinning the question to favor you, ask it properly.


    After Baldomir beat Gatti, who was the better win to have?

    Baldomir was a one hit wonder. He brought nothing elite to the table. Yes, he was a good B level fighter, but he had no POP, no speed, and no elite skill. Judah lost to him because Judah as naturally gifted as he is, is a very dumb inconsistent fighter.

    Margarito on the other hand is a master at hurting you, wether you're stronger, faster, skilled, or gifted, Margarito will bring the pain, and he will make you pay.

    More impressive or tougher?

    Back when Baldomir was #1 Margarito was hardly known and his biggest win was Manuel Gomez and Kermit Cintron, obviously Baldomir was the one to beat and that win was the more impressive one. Who's tougher?, back then it's also hard to guess who's tougher as Margarito hasn't proven anything to give an answer and signing the fight was the only way to find out.

    Right now it's pretty clear that Margarito is the tougher opponent and it was only proven after his very first major victory over Cotto last year. The majority of Margarito fans seem to desperately rub ANY victory Margarito gets all over Mayweather when they should be focusing on whether Margarito should finally avenge a loss or collect easy money.

    My vote easily goes to Baldomir based on the knowledge/information/position Margario and Baldomir were at back then.

    How about of instead spinning it in your favor, you ask even more properly.

    Beating which fighter would prove your greatness more?

    At the time of the PBF-Baldo fight I would have picked Baldo. Why? Beaten better fighters and was the champ of the divison. Margo was a nobody fighting no-hoper after no-hoper. Now with revisionist history you can say Margo. But if PBF fights Margo the results and the way PBF fights Margo will be the same as it was against Baldo. PBF by wide UD.:deal

    Don't forget that as the media carried the Margarito hype MANY others seemed to laugh at it and call it Vivian Harris version two for obvious reasons.

    Margarito was well known and well ducked. Baldomir was feather fisted, slow, and unskilled.

    Your trolling? Yes it is. :roll:

    Look liar, this was simply to give Pimp C the thread he needed to answer a question he refused. Nothing more.

    The question that should be asked if, who was the better victory, Baldomir after beating Gatti or the Margo coming a win to Gomez.

    Margo was a nobody who made a name for himself by saying PBF ducked him Baldo was linear champ at 147.:deal

    No, the real question is, at the time of Baldomir beating Gatti who added more at the time.

    He's spinning it in his favor. Go read the other thread to see what they were arguing.

    Nothing you posted suggests Baldomir was EVER a tougher fight to win over Margarito Scar. Nothing. All you did was post wins they had.

    Margarito was as tough to beat BEFORE Cotto as he is after. I don't understand the logic you used. I mean, did Margarito all of a sudden become TOUGHER of the two to beat only after the Cotto win?

    And i did say TOUGHER to beat Scar.
