Gotcha.

Surprised that you don't think that Wlad's got good abilities though.

3rd graders? You should be ashamed.

What makes Baldo a good fighter & Floyd a great fighter are two different things...but to say that Baldo isn't good or worthy as some have...that's just wack. Baldo KO'd Gatti, beat down Judah, & again was running undefeated as the recognized figure of 147. Apparently...right after Floyd beat him...his stock plummetted & everyone bailed out on his Cinderella story.

You know...you have to stop & think...he probably feels like the bottom dweller that everyone now makes him out to be.

Sorry...I credit Baldo & learned to respect him for his accomplishments. Just as soon as a man get's beaten does not strike him from the face of the earth.
