Floyd fighting Baldomir?

[BLOODSHED]

I had this weird feeling after watching Saturday's fight with Judah-Baldomir.

Baldomir picked up one belt from Judah and Floyd doesn't have a belt in this weight class. So it would be logical for Floyd to fight for that belt.

But considering Floyd fought Gatti and Mitchell last year, fighting Baldomir would be a grave mistake for two reasons. 1)It would give his ditractors more ammo by saying he's 'Roy 2006' (and they might have a point if he fights Baldomir) and 2) Floyd killed the momentum he had after beating Gatti. It was after beating Gatti where people were talking about Floyd headlining PPVs.

Not anymore. The arena for the Mitchell fight was empty.

I just thinking Mayweather-Baldomir is on the horizon, as well as the unfair Roy Jones/Mayweather comparisons.

Who cares. Baldomir has the belt, Floyd should go for the belt. It ain't his fault Zab got his ass whooped.

Yeah, you can def look at it in two ways.

Floyd loves the WBC belts and it'd be an easy fight for him to pick it up at. Can't really fault him at that, had Zab did his job he would've fought Zab. Baldomir beat Zab. So why not go grab the belt?

The momentum thing is true too, after Gatti everyone was waiting for PBF to take on that challenge. Obviously, this would delay it another fight.

I read that Baldomir doesnt actually have the belt.. Its up for grabs from anyone now, and Cotto is thinking of nabbing it...

[ReadyUp]

I'm pretty sure that Baldomir only has the WBC and Ring Belt.

He didn't pay the sanctioning fees for the other belts, thus they became vacant.

You're fine with Floyd fighting Baldomir after he just fought Gatti, Bruseles and Mitchell?

Who cares. Baldomir has the belt, Floyd should go for the belt. It ain't his fault Zab got his ass whooped.

[ReadyUp]

Somewhat. If Floyd wants the belt, well go ahead and go get it.

It wasn't his fault Zab messed up.

Honestly, who else do you think he will fight? Everyone's kind of booked up at the moment or they aren't interested.

Floyd has to fight a LOT of nobodies in succession before you can call him Roy 2006. Floyd's fought Corrales, Castillo, Chavez, Corley, and Gatti since 2001. He's a looooooooooong way from the bums Roy spent his career whooping up on.

I'm definitely fine with it. Everyone including Floyd was looking forward to the Zab fight but **** happens, and Baldomir is the legit champ at 147 now.

There is STILL Zab (he still has two out of the three belts), theres STILL Hatton, STILL Margarito, STILL Kostya.

I'm definitely fine with it. Everyone including Floyd was looking forward to the Zab fight but **** happens, and Baldomir is the legit champ at 147 now.
