Keep in-mind though Mayweather's up from Lightweight and has yet to face a TRUE Welter. Gatti was up from Lightweight as well, Judah the same.
Baldomir is Floyd's first test against a TRULY bigger man.
Speed kills, sometimes. Meldrick Taylor still got splattered by Julio Cesar Chavez, and again by Terry Norris. Sweet Pea had a hard time against Doibelys Hurtado, who was throwing Volume all night.
As Mayweather fights truly bigger opponents, it makes it a lot more interesting. Even Toni had trouble when moving up against Santos. Floyd has pulled it off so far, but against the most overhyped fighter in Boxing, and the idiot savante of Boxing.
Oh and leave us not forget the Castillo debacle, Mayweather/Castillo I = Floyd's FIRST loss.

Like I said I wasn't sure about Toni's chin as I havent seen too many of his fights, though he did take a few decent shots from Cintron. I think Baldomir will actually be a good test for Floyd at this weight, though I don't think he really has a shot he is gonna put pressure and weight on Floyd in a similar (though not as good) style as Toni. You obviously know quite a bit more about boxing then me as I am primarily into Muay Thai so I haven't seen any of those somewhat older fights you listed. As for Mayweather/Castillo I never got to see the whole fight, only the last rounds on youtube so I can't really comment on that.
Edit: Whoever wins, I just really wanna see this fight happen because it bugs the hell out of me everytime I think about it.
