How will the fabric of boxing be affected?

That's a pretty big IF!

I doubt it would really have any significant impact on the sport. Boxing is always changing, new fighters coming up all the time and replacing others, etc. I would say at most it would affect the fans. To some it would be a big dissapointment, and to others it would be great news.

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.

...there will be an IMMEDIATE rematch and the loss will be blamed on Roger's absence

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

baldozar will be given supreme respect

[ethanpiazza]

either pacman or winky wpuld brob be top P4P, and baldo would be given mad respect. there migth be a rematch. and perhaps, for once PBF would shut up.

but it dosent matter cause it wont happen.

[El Gamo]

Too big an IF to really consider!! Ummm,he wouldn't be P4P number 1 anymore and either we SERIOUSLY over rated him or Baldo is seriously UNDER RATED! However,I do NOT see it happening at all! Baldi winning more than 3-4 rounds would surprise me!

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.

lol and plus it is evident that floyd does tend to get silly and exchange with certain fighters,
he got rocked by both corley and zab on at least single occasions.
yeh fair enough he backed to the ropes and all the following punches from both fighters either missed or were glancing, which floyd has his great defensive skills to thank for that. but then again that is zab judah and demarcus corley...
if floyd gets bashed just once by the tank that is baldomir, it might upset floyds composure,
it would also be a very good idea to go to floyd's body, hes never really been tested to the body by a big puncher, especially not that i can recall..
you know i sort of like baldomir, in a way his face and his toughness reminds me of duran,
just a hard bastard with an evil face... lol love it

After seeing the title thread i guessed i would be able to add something to it, but by god boys i agree with everything you have said.

Some nice points Bodyhead cc

[Violent Demise]

It would mean that the fight was fix and it will be a black eye for boxing. Let's be realistic, a fix is the only chance Baldomir has of winning.

[Wacko3205]

It's not completely unimaginable as many say.

Baldomir is a true Welter...& pretty damned effective of late.

He's on a high that quite possibley can not be side stepped.

Then again...I just don't believe that there is anyone out there to beat Floyd on the horizon.

Not that Floyd's unbeatable...but come on now...this is Floyd.

If Baldo were to win...I'd rather it be him than some other chump contender out there.

[Pugilistic]

...there will be an IMMEDIATE rematch and the loss will be blamed on Roger's absence

agreed

[El Kabong]

...there will be an IMMEDIATE rematch and the loss will be blamed on Roger's absence

agreed

Thank God someone finally agreed with me! CC

Honestly I wouldn't be shocked if Baldamir pulled off a win, I would really not be shocked if he did everything but KO Floyd and lost a decision either.

Floyd has to be careful in this one, Carlos can take punches....he took Gatti's and kept coming...he's only been KO'd in ONE fight out of 58 and that was in 1994!!!

[boozeboxer]

I don't know how you guys get off saying Baldo. has no chance. A cut, illness or hand injury can competely turn the entire match.
