As for the PBF-Baldo fight...I dont see why some people think it will be difficult for PBF. Baldomirs two main strengths in this fight are his size and toughness. This are going to be countered by Floyd's speed and endurance. Baldomir does not have one punch power and if PBF gets tagged with a good shot he's going to be out of the way before anymore hit. So Baldomir is NOT going to KO PBF. And can Baldomir outbox PBF? Hell no!

Floyd might beak a hand but he's going to win this fight by lopsided UD.


**By the way BoomBoom, I used to have a similar view of PBF that you have now. I suggest hitting up youtube and just watching him in action from fights through his career. He's the Einstein of boxing and his timing is absolutly incredible. Watch PBF vs. Gatti and then Baldomir vs. Gatti for comparison and keep in mind that it was a fresher Gatti that PBF humiliated.
Bro,NO ONE is questioning his talent,how can you? It's his level of opposition that people are questioning,that's all. Talent wise,he is a marvel to watch.Yes and I totally agree Boom Boom,Floyd has fought fighters who let him fight his fight,in fact fighters who he can stand toe to toe with and win. Even Baldo is a light hitter.
Adam,to say Baldo is a level above Margarito is ridiculous considering Baldo sparred with Tony and said he is very powerful and that he would not fight him...Tony would beat him badly,it's just Baldo has been in the right place at the right time,he beat an unfocussed champ in Judah and beat a guy who has no business at 147,Gatti. If peeps don't give lil Floyd props for beating Gatti,then NO way should Baldo get much either!



Dont really understand this post. To say Floyd hasn't fought any punchers is just stupid. Coralles is THE hardest hitting lightweight, Judah packs a serious punch and Gatti over the past ten years has been the ultimate blood and guts warrior who just loves to slug it out toe to toe, so how can you possibly say Floyd only faces light hitters.

Considering that Baldomir destroyed Gatti and made Zab dance I'd say he is a pretty strong guy too, at least as strong as Collazo, who roughed up Ricky Hatton big time.

Floyd does fight the best in the divisions, it's just that fickle fans clamour for him to constantly face their idea of whose best based on a boxers last performance.

Evryone was crying out for Hatton Mayweather, now nobody thinks Ricky has a chance, especially at 147lb. Margarito will be found out soon enough too.

Baldomir is a great choice of opponent for Floyd. I would rather see him take this fight than any other right now. Carlos hasn't lost for about 7 years or something, it's going to be a great fight and credit to Floyd to making it happen.
