Hard to say. If Baldo has been doing this pretty much his entire career...then based on his last two fights...I'd say him.

Honestly...I think that the weight issue will arise for my guy (Floyd) but I think that he can over come it.

Baldo, IWO, will give Floyd a fight. I think that we all (Floyd fans) will be surprised...hence the reason that I am prepping me-self. I think that the fact that he TKO'd Gatti & the fact that he went toe to toe with Judah speaks quite a lot.

If Floyd pulls his usual 4 round feeling out plan then Baldo has a chance...& Floyd will do so. It's the way he works. Replay all of his old fights. Floyd always feels the opponent out for 4-5 rounds...no matter what.

This is Baldo's opportunity to press Floyd to a point that he is out of his comfort zone.

I still think that Floyd will over come though.

Agreed...but he's waaaaaaaaaay outside of his weight class. I personally think that Floyd belongs @ 140lbs. I always have & I always will.

it should be business as usual for Floyd when he steps in the ring, Not like Baldo who has to starve himself for 3 days to make weight...Which worries me cutting 50 or so lbs is HUGE especially as you get older and metabolism slows.. That has to start taking its toll and we have seen fighters who have gotten real old in a matter of 3-4 rounds from being weight drained
Again...this is something that Baldo does all the time according to press.

Whether or not it's a "don't believe everything that you read" scenario remains to be seen.

Agreed. Also...what is a bit more settling is to look at how Floyd did in those three fights (Corrales, Castillo I & II) & compare them to Baldo. Again...the weight is an issue...but the fact that Corrales & Castillo are knock out are-teests & Baldo is not...well...for lack of better words...it gives a Floyd fan confidence.
