At the time this fight would have been signed, Baldomir had scored a victory over Judah but not Gatti yet. So based on the Judah fight, which I know he won but by no means dominated, you are saying Baldy had a better resume than Margarito? What about Baldy was so much more impressive than what Margarito did to Cintron? Yes, Judah is better than Cintron, but they are not worlds apart and you have to take into account the fashion by which each won those fights.Comment

CUPCRAZY, no matter what they will criticize and find something to complain about. let me give you an example, when he fought Zab and everyone knew that was the tougher fight and he got criticized for it. A few months later, he goes for the true WW champ and he gets criticized for that. Now tell me how can you really criticize a fighter for fighting the champ of the divison. Also he hurt his hand in Judah fight, that is why he couldn't fight Aug so squeezing margarito between wasn't feasible. But for arguments sake, lets say he did fight Margarito, they would still say why is Floyd fighting all these tune-ups and nobodies. Everytime he fights he is fighting a nobody if you listen to some of the people here. Let them tell it and he has never fought anybody and Oscar is only worthy fighter on his resume.Comment

You know , have to give it to you, that was a good post. I admited in my last post I don't like Mayweather and would love to see him lose. I also said I understand very much the hype in pro boxing and don't hang on every word some fighter says at a press conference. I just don't like Mayweathers uncle, father and him.
As far as Ali was concerned, WHITE America hated Ali. Blacks in the US LOVED him so he wasn't hated by the people. He was adored when he went to Africa and was adored by the PEOPLE in the US. The media portrade him as a villian and a racist but the only racist was the media itself. If you were black and out spoken you were hated, you had to be a good little "uncle tom" to be liked. Ali was never ill willed with his opponents, always talking trash but afterwards giving them there due. I have rarely if ever heard Mayweather give anyone their due but come May 5th he will be forced to for the first time in his career.Comment

You are a complete idiot if you don't think PBF made $8 million for the Baldomir fight. The fight did 325k buys. At $50 a buy, that's over $16 million. That's enough to pay Floyd, Baldomir, and leaves at least $6 million. That's just PPV. That doesn't include the live gate, which would only add a few million more to the total...Comment

So you think Floyd should have avoided the champion in order to fight what really amounts to a contender just because the contender is considered the more difficult fight?
By your reasoning, Joe Louis is a ***** for fighting Braddock to win the title because Braddock's win over Baer was a huge upset just like Baldomir's win over Judah. Everyone knew Braddock was going to get his ass kicked the next time he fought and that's why he held up the title for nearly 2 years until cashed out in the Joe Louis fight. Exact same thing Baldomir did. He held out for the biggest paycheck, which was first Gatti and then Mayweather.
If you think less of Mayweather for the choice that he made, which is just your opinion because Baldomir is more accomplished than Margarito (http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh....php?t=104590), then you should think the same way about Joe Louis...Comment
