Excellent as always Wacks!!!!I am already feeling the butterflies of anticipation....
I have been a broken record about this and I am trying to look at it objectively for some time.....but I will post my thoughts again.
Floyd is on the presipis of his prime he is without a doubt the real deal..He has it all.
Superior technical skills
Super Boxing Intelligence
Unbelievable Poise
Multi-Dimensional LockDown Defense
Speed
Power
Quickness
Mental Toughness
Reflexes
Athleticism
Crafty
Unreal Stamina
Boxing Pedigree
One hell of a mean streak
Focus
Chin
He is probably PFP Boxings ultimate Predator..He uses every single ounce of his attributes to the fullest extent and he does not cut corners and Preperaion is second to none and takes Boxing as serious as Anyone ever has.
Baldomir is well a cute human interest story who deserves his taste of success and the good life he has been able to provide his wife and children and beat some decent competition along the way ..Other than that he is a Journeyman and a C level fighter at best.
Sure he is a big man but that really dosent have an impact most of the time when you have a slick technical figher opposing you, Let alone a Floyd Mayweather.. Baldomir is mediocre at best he lacks Speed, Power, Footwork...He is determined and is high pressure and tries to absorb 2 to give 1 and will not let go of what he has worked hard obtain..
I look at it this way..Floyd is a mean Bastard and will subtley rough up Baldo like others opponents in the clinch...Gatti was outboxing Baldo and making him miss..Floyd will make him look like a statue in Central Park..If Baldo is gonna try to absorb punches to give them Floyd will give him 3 and wont be standing there to get 1...
I also dont believe the argument that Baldomir's sheer determination will pull him thru...Floyd is a freak he gets up and runs 5 miles thru the cold desert at midnight....often wakes up Leonard Ellerbee to work out at 3-4am so you tell me who is determined and has the mental edge...
Floyd is gonna just plain outclass Baldomir and coast thru this fight...I cant even give Baldy a punchers chance since he is not even a puncher
But even if Baldi gives Floyd trouble initially with his style, Floyd might give a few of the early rounds away till he adjusts and then coasts the rest of the way...
