    floyd reached out to 2 people for his november ppv date first,

    mosley who said he was done for the year, then hatton who lied and said he would defend against oktay urkal, but then moved down. Then it was spinks for the 154 title which actually would have been a pretty good accomplishment considering the weight, that fell through, so he went after the undisputed title.

      not to mention, the judah fight was basically already good to go contract wise.

          Floyd wants Judah. Judah loses to Baldomir. Floyd wanted Judah and that title remember?

          Floyd ponders options. Floyd considers Spinks at a much higher weight. Floyd considers some other guys. Floyd decides, **** it I'll take the title I originally wanted.

          So his options were:


          Guy with the LINEAR Title
          Big Name Dental Appointment Guy who had ducked him earlier (twice)
          Another guy with a well known name at a higher weight class (couldn't possibly be in possible prep for an Oscar showdown...nooooo....never that)
          Or COMPLETE NO NAME who no one gives two ****s about.

          **** I can't imagine why he snatched the title. And I can't imagine why he fought Judah after that since the SAME ASSCLOWNS that Spam now were calling him out for taking the title then and not facing Judah.

          Assclowns.
          Tool.

              First of all, he was already the man.

              Second, no one thought Baldomir was better than Margarito. He still isn't.

              Finally, if Foyd really felt that way, he woulda fought Baldomir after he beat Zab.

              But he had NO other options but Baldomir and Margarito so he went with the easy route.

              Come on, it's not rocket science
              .

              Thank you!

                  [QUOTE=deevel79;3574898]Who's angry? Abo'sworth finally gave an honest answer, and i congratulated him on it. Many other Floyd fans agreed with him.

                    Baldomir easier than who?

                    Surely not Margarito.

                    Listen up..

                    Unlike tony...BALDOMIR DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SET TO PUNCH..

                    Unlike tony...Baldomir CAN FIRE STRAIGHT PUNCHES..

                    Unlike tony...Baldomir WAS ABLE TO STEP UP AND BEAT A TOP CHAMPION..

                    Marge loses EVERY TIME he steps up..

                    Baldomir dared to be great..and it payed off..

                      Margarito is a much better puncher than Baldo.

                      Margarito would've beaten Zab that night too

                      Marg had 2 losses when he was like 17yrs old, then lost contraversial decisions to Santos. Williams beat him fair and square. How does that equate to him losing everytime he steps up?

                      Baldo dared to be great, got his one big payday, and where is he now????????
