    The Baldomir situation is a one in a million time scenario. Realistically the best thing would have been Judah win his warm up, fight Floyd like was planned then winner fight Margarito but boxing isn’t ideal most of the time.

    Anyway, personally still think Floyd should have took that fight but the politics was rife then between Floyd and Arum so there’s a lot of issues there but Floyd could have fought Margarito if he wanted, he should have in my opinion.
    Floyd should of said fck you its a lose lose situation I will fight who I want to fight, works for TC with his mandatory and the same flip floppers saying Floyd ducked are yeah Bud you tell them youre the boss, only in here is there so many double standards.

      Don’t think it was lose lose.

      Margarito was #1 at the time (outside of the champion), I’d have liked to have seen it.

        What Floyd should have said is I am scared of this guy Margarito. That would have been keeping it a buck.

        All that jazz about Arum and Oscar is just more Floyd boy excuses

          Neither do I but that's what he said, I would have like to see Margo as well, it was such and easy fight for Floyd to box his ears off while the sloth tried to catch him, but didn't happen like so many big fights with the top guys they dont fight everyone, nobody missus out on this scenario yet haters like to make out their guy don't do it only Floyd does, the flip-flopping and double standard annoys me, if they were consistent I wouldn't have a go at them, but they not consistent at all its just hate.

            Floyd v Baldomir was done to set up the Floyd v ODH.

            That fight was going to sell more than Floyd v Margs or Martinez.

            I think Floyd v Martinez sells more than Floyd v Ghost. Floyd v Ghost sold over 1mil.

            Again, the objective metrics make it clear fans wanted these fights.
            Floyd would have filled arenas against anybody though. He chose to fight some donkeys rather than prime contenders.

            the Baldo and Guerrero fights and others were just filler in his contracts. He often fought the absolute worst guy he could have selected. Baldo in place of Margarito is insane lol. And all those show time donks in place of Pac.

            not sure why you’re trying to defend this guy anymore. Are you seeing any of that cash? Lol is it a pride thing?

            just admit he fought a few bums instead of the guys he should have fought. The guys everyone wanted him to fight

              Listen to this guy.

              Margarito was a slow, flat footed, come forward fighter. Albeit a tall one with a decent jab, but tailor made for Floyd and he was getting a career high 8 million to fight him.

              Insert more Floyd excuses here

                    The truth and you are day and night, the truth scares you that's why you run from questions, when the light is on, you run away back to the shadows again, you're such a weak individual with an unhealthy stalking demeanour for a celebrity.

                      You made the claim fans didnt want to see these fights. Every objective metric shows that statement is false.

                      That is the only part of your post I disagreed with.

                      Not sure why you’re pivoting to claiming Im defending him or asking about cash.
