Was it a ***** move for Floyd mayweather jr to fight BALDOMIR over Margarito??

[-EX-]

Nah, he had only been the longest reigning title holder at welter.

Yet nobody knew who he was until he started screaming Mayweather's name...

Pongsaklek Wonjongkam had 17 title defenses...doesn't mean his opposition was very good...

You could definitely argue Margs opposition was better than Baldomir's though.

If anything I wish Floyd fought them both, but that's the past.

Yeah, and Baldomir was a superstar

No, Baldomir was the linear champ and he had people accusing him of ducking Baldomir, and I don't blame him for taking the mega money fight with Oscar but he should have fought Margarito, Paul Williams, or Cotto instead of Hatton and then retiring.

Both of them had weak resumes...Floyd fought Baldomir for the same $ and didn't have to do any business with Arum

Margarito definently wasn't

At least Baldomir can say he fought on HBO and beat HBO's action fighter Gattin his backyard..

Margarito's resume was stronger. Way stronger. Stop being so simplistic.

I said earlier in the thread that's precisely the reason he chose Baldomir.
Just to **** over Arum for the same money.

I just hate people making Baldomir out to be this lineal great, which he wasn't.
He beat a Judah who was already known to lose the big one.

So? Margarito had fought more times on HBO then Baldomir and that's including the Floyd PPV. He also had fought countless times on Showtime. Baldomir never was in Margarito's league in terms of star power, which is saying a whole lot given how relatively small his own was.

Floyd suckered the fans - amazing how they still defend him. He should've never fought Judah after he lost but that was all about money. And he explained it away by saying that Baldomir got lucky. Then all of a sudden he's fighting Baldomir next because he's worthy. You can't make this stuff up.
