Re: This Is Just Plain Ridiculous and Perplexing to Me..The Scrutiny Of Floyd
Further to someone's previous comments about Brits not appreciating Mayweather ..... I am a Brit, and I thought he pitched a perfect shutout over a very big, very strong natural welterweight.
I have not seen that much of PBF in the past, and notwithstanding that I think he's an arrogant motherfucker, that is the first fighter I have seen at that weight who I felt would belong in the ring with Ray Leonard.
I saw a brilliant display of defensive skill (not just having good reflexes, like Nas, but also having the technical skills, savvy and bravery to avod punched while staying in range). Speed was awesome, co-ordination etc etc was top notch. Power was not much, but Baldomir has a good chin.
I agree that he has only had 30-something fights and none against a nemesis, or classic rival - but that's not his fault.
It is a fault of modern fighters to be seen to chase their 'legacy', and their place in history. That's all bullshit and it is never until many years after a fighters retirement that he can be fairly judged.
However, and I say this as a Hatton fan, Floyd would outbox him and rip him to shreds.
