Mystified? By what? A variance in opinion?

So many people on this site read what I write...but they just don't SEE what I right.

I'm not highly rating his chances...I'm saying that they should not be under ratted & I'm saying that there are more factors at work here than just Floyd Mayweather jr.

You felt that this fight would be a complete mismatch in favour of Toney with the former middlewight dominating his younger, heavier, stronger opponent.

At the time I thought this is higly unlikely as I stated, a pick em fight for me I said

Anyway in that fight, the skilled fighter Toney, was 38 fighting a guy 10 years younger. He was outweighed by 30 lbs, was coming off a poor showing previously and is famous for coming into his fights in less than impressive condition, yet you still thought he would dominate Peter.
Fair enough...now let me take you back...I was shocked that Toney did not dominate Peter & Peter was able to box with him...not outbox...but box with him. In a sense...that is what this article is based on losely: ANYTHING CAN & WILL HAPPEN.

That's the only way that this pertains to Mayweather vs Baldo.

You can't see em...because I never said that he would get close to beating him...just handing him a hard night. He may be slow...but he had enough skill & power to earn Judah's respect & also enough to stop Gatti.

I see Floyd winning...but not by a land slide...nothing wrong with being surprised...trust me...I don't think that I couldv'e been more surprised than I was with Sam Peter's performance...& maybe I'll come away with the same thing from Baldo.

But you missed answer #2. It went like this: #2: No. I don't think that Baldo will defeat Floyd.

I just stated that I think he might have had a shot at an upset...nothing wrong with looking down both barrells.
