    PBF beat Baldomir and Judah when the first was lineal and the second was arguably the best but had just had an off-night. Hatton was unbeaten and the true champion just one weight division below. Both CVs at welter are superb, but I slightly favour PBF at this weight.

    And the ODLH win for PBF was hugely impressive and was at proper lmw.

    It's even. They have fought a few common opponents. I have never ranked Clottey or Margarito very high, but the Cotto win was superb. People give Floyd crap about Judah and Baldomir but they were the top guys at WW AT THE TIME. Now Manny is settling his score with JMM and Floyd is taking on a young strong lion with something to prove. They both have good and bad matchups. But I feel they're on even footing.

    Been discussed and it was Floyd easily. How? None were weight drained and gift wrapped.

    "young strong lion"


    this is how the overmatched quitter ortiz is referred to by Floyd to sell the BS fight

    seems his fan boys are spouting this nonsense too

    I think it's about even really. If Floyd fought more, then I think he could surpass him

    Simply giving him the benefit of the doubt. Berto hit him with some bombs and he didn't cave and walked away with the title. I'm in no way saying he beats Floyd. But I'd give him a better chance than I would Clottey or Margarito even though thats not really saying much.
