    i agree with you but you slated Baldomirs record because of how it appeared on paper. essentially this means you are part of the problem.

    Boxing fans that cant see past numbers arent real fans or new to the sport. i know this because i grew up overrating fighters due to their records only natural that the longer you are a boxing fan you can read between the lines.

    Baldomir gets a lot of **** on here but he was undefeated for several years i believe before he fought floyd.

    what should he have done refused the fight because casual boxing fans are confused by his apparently lacklustre record?
    guy should have been unified ww champ if he could have afforded the sanctioning fees.

    But Baldomir still beat him. Clottey should have beat Margarito even though he hurt one of his hands. No pain, no gain. He was winning easily before that happened. Cotto didn't look like his old self when they fought. There is no excuse for Clottey to not walked away with the belt. Clottey is officially overrated too me.

    It's close, but I give the edge to Floyd. The Oscar, Marquez, Mosley, and Hatton were closer to their primes and or coming off good performances when Floyd fought them. Pac fought and destroyed the **** out of Cotto, that's the only reason I have it close.
