    The Baldomir fight may not have been what the fans wanted, but ive yet to see an unbiased person deny the logic of taking that fight.
    The money was right, the opponent was right, and the linear title was there.
    It made business sense, even if it wasnt an explosive fight.

      rumor has it he ducked Margarito for Sharmba Mitchell even before he did so for baldomir.

          And I wonder who started that rumor.

            You mean the judges gave him the decision in the biggest fights. Alot of people including myself felt he should of lost to Sweet Pea, Quartey, and not even a big fight but got to throw Sturm in there. So you guys must mean a destroyed Vargas and Mayorga.

              yes Oscar is a bum. Floyd fans should know better than to claim the Oscar fight as floyds biggest win propelling him to top 10 ATG.

I mean, dont get me wrong, i rather see Cotto/Margo/Williams fight it out to get a shot at Floyd, but why do YOU act like you're part of his camp or something"? why wouldnt you want to see him fight the best fighters? look at the last 3 fighters he has fought..

                Hatton = obviously someone everyone knew wouldnt be a threat. not the obvious choice for an opponent for someone who should be fighting the best.

                DLH = past his prime and overweight
                Baldomir = well, Baldomir

                so? are you his manager? his brother? uncle? nephew?
                If I recall correctly there were alot of people on here saying Oscar was going to KO Floyd and alot of people were calling for the Hatton fight and saying he had a good chance of winning.

                But it's the same sad story from the same sad people saying after Floyd beats these guys that they were bums, past their prime or they already knew Floyd was going to win just so they don't have to give them credit.

                    No, he always was. He lost in most of his big fights, remember? Or does that fact become increasingly irrelevant when we are over hyping Fraud's resume?
