If he lost I'd like to see him take on Margarito in his next fight. An "L" would bring him closer to margarito's level But also if by some chance he does lose if won't likely affect his career cause you know he'll be back winning. If he does lose It will be as a "fluke" and I'm sure most will view it as just a little bump on his road to greatness...yes, that is the road he travels.
yeh difinately a great point , never thought of that.. hte loss would bring him to margarito's level..
then floyd would have to answer questions ..
n people would be like take on margarito anyone can be beaten eh floyd? so take the fight!!
i dont feel he will loose, but its not to his credit that i say that, i feel even though floyd has faced some great names and looked good , theres a reason he looked good,
because he always picked and chose his opponent so that it wasnt as big a risk as it may have seemed
very smart, but you know how it is, he cant be fooling all boxing fans...
and looking over it all this fight looks the same like baldo cant hang with floyds power etc
so floyd says hes not overlooking carlos, but i dont believe him i think thats the reason he took the fight because the styles fit!...
although i love floyd, im slightly inclined to pull for baldo in this one!?
its just he's beaten two big names, that noone thoughtn he would and he does have a couple things going for him you know, thats why he stopped gatti, the man walks around the wieght of a tank! he'll be at the 147 limit for about ten seconds and by the time floyd gets in the ring with him he'll be a tank with him, and since floyd is a superfeather weight and thats where his power is there and the lightweight division, and with baldo able to take a good shot, floyd might get dropped and rolled over by tank tracks!! lol
in a sentance this is how i feel...
i know that carlos can win, and i am almost certain floyd will win, but im pulling for baldomir! lol
peace
Good points.

At some point an exchange is bound to occur and this is, arguably, the first full blown welter he has faced and he does carry the extra poundage and incentive to cause an upset.

It kinda reminds me of Baboa V Creed 1 ! ordinary slugger V the showman / superstar.
