I've heard people say that Baldomir has no chance. I totally disagree.

We're living in the age of spectacular fighters. Spectacular fighters are the only fighters who seem to have a chance these days. Long gone are the Carmen Basillio's of the world, people who didn't posess one spectacular asset. Someone who doesn't have blinding speed, one punch power, freakish reach or an untouchable defense isn't able to beat one of these fighters. But...why? I mean, Baldomir is solid. No other way to describe him. He is solid. He doesn't do anything extrodinary, but he doesn't do anything wrong either. When is the last time Mayweather has fought a guy like that? He hasn't. Not many people have nowadays. There was a time in boxing, where 20 or so fighters could challenge the great champions. Baldomir would have been one of those guys. I think he still is. No weaknesses or strengths. He's solid. So why not give him a shot? I don't think Mayweather is going to get him out of there, and I definitely don't think he is going to overwhelm anybody like he did against Corrales and Judah. Simply because he doesn't have the weaknesses of those others. I don't recall Gatti ever getting laughed at when he said he was going to beat Mayweather, and his strategy was to hit Floyd on the arms!

Personally, I don't think that Baldomir wins more then a few rounds. But it's not out of the question that he does and I think that Floyd knows it and will come well prepared. If he doesn't, which isn't like him, then we could have a major upset on our hands.
