Can you name the opposition for a $50 Floyd fight? Certainly wasnt anyone of Diaz caliber and someone who Floyd wasnt and overwhelming favorite, and it was an EVENT that Floyd more than towed the line while promoting it... Give me Pac vs Hatton I'll pay $50 all day, Pac vs Valero I'll pay $50 Call me a hater all you want but I just didnt see the value in that matchup![]()
I don't think Mayweather gets enough credit for the Arturo Gatti win, sure Gatti is no elite world beater but he is still a good fighter and he was coming off some good wins shortly before his fight with Mayweather, Micky Ward x2, Leonard Dorin 22-0, Jesse James Leija, Gianluca Branco 32-0. Those are quality wins and i'll say it again Mayweather doesn't get enough credit for his win over Gatti, as for Baldomir he should of lost to Joshua Clottey he was getting his ass kicked until Clottey got DQ, but Baldomir did rebound and got a draw with Jose Luis Cruz, who isn't a bad fighter at all and gave Shane Mosley 10 tough rounds, and then two wins over Judah, Gatti, and no matter what anyone says Judah was considered a very good fighter at that time. So for Baldomir to pull off the upset was a good achievement at the time, and he was the legit Welterweight champion at that time and they are the facts no matter what way anyone tries and twists it.

agree with you about the matchup not worth 50 bucks but the point is floyd against diazlike opponent also isn't worth 50 bucks. bottom line is it all boils down to the matchup whether we're talking about pac or pbf, and there's simply no difference there except that i think pac is more exciting of the 2 fighters to watch.
pac is hands down the more and most exciting fighter. no comparison wheather you like brawl or box. pac is either brawling or his fighting a boxer, if his not fighting a boxer his boxing. hope that made sense, now thats why he is hands down the guy to always watch.![]()
