    Height is different than body frame.

    Baldomir's and Cotto's frames are thicker and stockier. Mayweather is taller, rangier, with more lean muscle.

    Basically, Baldomir does not have a 22-24 pound head, twice as heavy as the average head, as you would like to imply.

    Seldon got dropped by a gust of wind.

    He quit before he started.

    Another good excuse was Vinny Paz saying he lost to Roy Jones because he came down too fast from his caffeine high.

    LOL LOL LOLOLOL

    Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan you didn't see the way Mike's forearm grazed Seldon's forehead? :laughing:

    Seldon was scared shitless in that fight:laughing:

    the paz one about the coffee is my single favorite though... :laughing: he said he normally drank it before a fight but the fight was delayed a bit and he drank it too soon... he said "I just mis timed my coffee" :laughing: as if the coffee would have helped him when Roy was pot shotting him with lightening speed :bears:

    another thing about that Roy-Paz fight...

    if you guys remember, before the fight Vinny's trainer said that the timed Vinny using some high tech equipment (omegascope maybe.. lol) and that Vinny was actually FASTER than Sugar Ray Robinison :laughing: they were saying Roy's speed would not be a factor at ALL :laughing:

    LOL I never thought I'd see an argument over the weight of Baldomir's head.

    Me neither, I never expected anyone to claim that Baldomir was a lightweight and that the 12 extra pounds that makes him a welterweight is because of his massive cranium.

    I really am amazed as some of the stuff that people will say.

    Since most Internet writers these days are really glorified fans with press access, perhaps this qualifies for this thread...

    William Trillo's reason why Baldomir was given a loss against Floyd Mayweather:
    http://www.pound4pound.com/2006/page6.html

    Floyd Mayweather(32-0,24 KO’s) used a combination of back pedaling and smoke and mirrors that was enough to fool 3 very inept judges to thinking he easily beat Carlos Baldomir(43-10-6,13 KO’s) for the WBC 147 pound Title.

    The fight was a total bore, the crowd booed early and often and it wasn’t because Baldy wasn’t doing his job, the crowd was booing because Floyd turned this into the biggest snoozefest ever.

    How anyone can give every round to a guy who is fighting off his back foot and in complete retreat over the 12 round distance is beyond me.

    How anyone can call Floyd the best Pound 4 Pound fighter on the planet is another huge mystery….he is not even close.

    For the record my scorecard read 116-113 in favor of Baldomir who was humiliated not by Floyd, but by 3 very lousy judges.

    What a complete joke!

    You know - some of the flack PBF is getting reminds me an AWFUL lot of when Whitaker was fighting in many ways.

    Nah, when I write something; I write in detail about every shitty undercard fight.

    I made the mistake to volunteer for a TV report about a Morales card once. Guess which one? Morales/Raheem and Pac-Man/Velasquez.

    I think the article was three sentences long. :lol:

    It's funny cause I actually like watching that fight from time to time. Even though Roy beat the shit out of Paz it was a fun fight till it lasted.

    Here's some gems from some ODLH fights:

    Shellfish :lol:

    He lost to Mosley because he felt he was bigger and stronger than Shane.

    And my favorite one.............

    "I had a personal problem in the ring"
    Oscar Dela Hoya

    We never did find out what it was. I figure maybe he sharted or something and he couldn't move like he wanted to because he had shitty draws. :dunno:

    Well I thought another possibility was he got hit in the liver so hard he pissed himself and the urine ran down his legs and got in his socks which caused squishy foot. You can't box well with squishy foot, everyone knows that.

    Foreman lost in Zaire because he was about to knock Ali out but was distracted by seeing his friend in the audience rooting for Ali. The betrayal hurt his feelings and broke his concentration.


    This comes not from a fan, but from Big George himself.
