Haha Wow. That's a lot of statistics for a really simple question - Do you think this was a easy fight for Mayweather?

well I suppose if stroking your own ego Cruz, is more important that being a man and admiting Baldo was never in the fight there just isn't much I can do about it...

The reason numbers have to be thrown out for some people is because they don't lie (not 100% accurate either but close) while the people watching tend to listen to that jackoff Lampley screaming like an idiot and think there's more going on with Floyd and less with Baldomir than what's actually happening. I also broke it down for you before the numbers on what happened. If you don't know boxing, yea asking that question is simple, when you know what you're talking about you can break it down on what really happened and compare it to previous Mayweather fights. If you chose to focus on the few lines of stats i put up and ignore the entire paragraph before then obviously i know which category you fall under.

Maybe you should learn to read. Facts are facts. Obviously you can't argue with anything i said because simply there is no argument to the truth. You chose a cheesy ass ego line rather than a rebuttal to everything i said, that says it all. I ALREADY stated he won a LOPSIDED decision, is that not clear enough for you?? But how he did it matters and your argument about being like Gatti got shot down and now you're just reaching for something small to come out of this. Sorry but for one, my breakdown of this fight beforehand was accurate he won a clear decision and didn't get a ko and two your ridiculous Gatti comparision was weak and i proved it with facts. Have a nice day and stick to a sport you know.

Haha OK, dude... this is really getting out of hand. Your statement was "This WILL NOT be an easy fight for Mayweather." Here is what PBF said after the fight - “It was a cake walk in the park.” Now that makes you AND me wrong about how difficult this fight would be for Floyd.
Youre trying to distort the argument with the fighting styles of the two and comparisons to Gatti. When you said it WILL NOT be an easy fight, did you just mean Mayweather will have to back up while landing shots at will? Come on man, even you said Mayweather won all but one round. It was a fucking clinic.

No no, the whole Gatti thing was the other guy's argument on how it was the same or would be the same. That's why it was brought up, i wouldn't have even mentioned it. I said Baldomir's style was like Castillo but slower, that's what that was about. BUT he did only land 199 shots in this fight which is REALLY low for Floyd.
Floyd says a lot of shit and talks out of his ass so don't let him make you think it was more than it was. When asked at the end of the Gatti fight if it was easier or as easy as he thought it would be he turned around gave all the credit in the world to Gatti saying "Man, that's Arturo 'Thunder' Gatti, he's a warrior." What's that say, it wasn't easy?? lol It all depends who he's talking about. If you listened to all fighters and what they said after than how about James Toney talking about Sam Peter "Man he don't hit that hard, he never had me hurt" when his ass was rocked AT LEAST 3 times in that fight.
Floyd made it look easy cause he fought smart and stayed away throughout the fight which is what lead to his low punch stats. And when he didn't that's what lead to Baldomir's power shots being higher than most probably thought. Those shots you're talking about going backwards were nothing more than to keep Baldomir at bay not to hurt him or do damage. Take my word, Lampley made it seem like a ridiculous blowout more than it was. Yes it was lopsided and he outsmarted and outboxed him for 10 of 12 rounds but he never had him in any trouble and stayed away a little too much for my taste but i called that before it happened. So in the end, do i call it an easy fight no, i call it a very smart fight which i won't critize him for because sometimes that's the best way. Now for him to step up and take on Margarito, the real champ in my eyes.

I think some of your are missing the fact that
Baldomir's style + size + PBFs recent struggles = the prediction that it wouldnt be an easy fight for Floyd, no one can predict WHAT is gonna happen.. they can only assume based on facts so what if it was a easy fight for PBF, doesnt change the fact that NO ONE really thought it would be an easy fight for him.

Actually Afro I thought it would be easy fight for him. That's kinda part of what we are arguing about.
Cruz - whatever man, if acting like this makes you feel good about yourself so fine, it won't keep me awake at nights

Acting like what? You tried to call me out on some shit like i said Baldomir was going to whoop his ass or something, when i stated in detail how i thought this fight would play out. You turned it into some kind of war of proving me wrong when i wasn't with my prediction and then calling me a jerk on top of it for backing what i said. I didn't call you shit just stated what i said before the fight happened along with some other facts. If you can't debate without getting your feelings hurt or calling someone a name for backing up their claim then don't bother starting anything. I've been wrong before like the Peter fight, i predicted a KO from him in which he almost did a number of times but i gave all the credit in the world to Wlad and Manny for learning to box and use his jab to survive and beat Peter. I admit when i'm wrong but i wasn't with my prefight take on this fight because while i might have been 2 rounds off of what i thought the score might be (116-112) i knew how it end.

I told you Mayweather would out-class the shit out of him. Anyone is welcome to find my quotes earlier on in this thread, I spoke nothing but the truth!
