God bless Gatti but the Mickey Ward trilogy clearly took years out of him. And if it wasn't already apparent that he was past his prime, his destruction at the hands of Mayweather confirmed it. Baldomir beat a 34-year old Gatti over a full year after Gatti lost to Mayweather.
Let's not get started on Judah. Epic waste of talent imo.
Also, I don't know if it's more a case of Baldomir being that weak, or just the simple fact that far better fighters were available, namely Margarito. But it's worth noting Baldomir already had 10 loses by the time he fought Mayweather.
