Baldomir if he does go up to 190 inbetween fights could easily be as strong as Margarito who looks a lot more gangly.
Baldomir can definitely take a punch, that's why I said I think a decision is more likely. Maybe I'm still underrating Baldomir but I don't see him as the type of guy that can take somebody apart, he's just a grinder to me, I don't see him as having a slickness advantage over Margarito, neither one are very slick to me. And if Baldomir's stronger than Margarito, which I'm not sure is the case, Margarito is clearly bigger and stronger than Judah or Gatti so Baldomir wouldn't have nearly as much of an advantage there. I just think Margarito's a bit quicker, better punch output and variety, better combinations, and to me is probably a bit better boxer overall, although like I said neither seem that slick to me. I would see it as a 8-4 type Margarito decision.
