I really expect FLoyd to put on a clinic and win easily.
Or else outpoint him for six or seven rounds on his way to a win and then be taken out by a kidney punch from which he cannot stand up in time to beat the count.

Boxing doesn't need a man with no respect for anyone including ODLH. Calling out people who have done so much for this sport while jumping around weights is crap. No character and may God have mercy on his soul.
Please Have Mercy on my Soul too... Ok Reveren ::**Quote:

You're right. I just hate this time change and it makes me an angry person. So I get up and decide to take my anger out on someone that is an easy target....Quote:

How would this not be the emergenge of Baldomir? If (I understand the long shot aspect here believe me)Quote:

regarding the emergence of Baldomir ... it's all relative. Certainly Tata would emerge to center stage in the current boxing scene; he's almost done that now.
But he will never have the possibility (at least, he probably doesn't have the possibility) - which Floyd certainly has (the possibility, mind you, at least probably) - of emerging to center stage of boxing history in general.
Sorry, I'm not sure what you are talking about. Are you talking about all-time great type thing?Quote:

Basically, if he beats Floyd it will be amazing, and he'll get lots of praise and recognition, but it won't make him an all time great.
If Floyd beats him, good for Floyd, but he needs to beat a few others before he convinces of his all-time greatness.
I just don't know anymore.Quote:

Are you back tracking Wacko??Quote:

Tentative first round, Tata ups the pressure in 2 and 3 but Floyd is evasive, and then Floyd starts picking him apart.Quote:

Floyd will take care and he won't get caught, and even if he does, he is not a Judah to crumble unless he is caught in such a way to be really incapacitated. That is always possible - we know that - but it would be unexpected.
As far as Gatti ... well, I like Gatti more than you do, which isn't hard, but still can't credit Baldomir's win as a signal that he is dangerous to Floyd. Floyd beat Gatti too ... three rounds faster and how would you compare his performance against Gatti to Baldomir's against Gatti?
