    Why Mayweather had to fight Baldomir-Catch 22

    Mayweather critics keep throwing shots at PBf for fighting Baldomir. Yet Baldomir kept calling out Mayweather after his wins over Judah and Gatti. He said in spanish "I want to fight mayweather he has my belt that belongs to me and i am the true champ in the division." If floyd ducks Baldomir people will say why he didnt unite the title after this guy called him out? Cotto never really called out Mayweather he always said let mi impressa(business people) make my fights. I tell you Cotto would get beat to the punch all day by Floyd and when Cotto is getting beaten he moves away to the ropes as he did in the last rds against both Margocheater and Pac. Baldomir is a hard as steel Mother F who keeps coming forward, he even sticks out his chin.

    People keep saying Baldomir had 9 losses when he fought he has 9 losses bla bla bla, THE BASTARD WON 21 fights in a row before he lost to Floyd. He also beat undefeated fighters Olsen 30-0, Clottey 20-0(DQ), Alguzum 21-0, Hasan 24-0(beat him twice), Cruz 30-0(was given bogus draw to being in mexico against a mexican fighter). He is really a jr middleweight and had fights at 154 before and walks around at 170-180. Even i thought Baldomir would give him a tough fight.

    I guarantee if Floyd dosent fight Baldomir people would have said Baldomir has titles he is lineal and won 21 in a row why you ducking him because he is too big? He is in damned if he does and damned if don't.

    The only reason to fight Baldomir is for the lineal title. And, that is it. Baldomir was not a good fighter. He was a Zab Judah creation and got the lineal belt. And, Floyd fought him. But, any other reasons to fight him to me IMO is bull****.

      Cotto won 32 fights in a row.
      The DQ in the Clottey fight was ****** plus Clottey was winning the fight anyways.

        Brian Kenny, Lampley and Steward all said Baldi would give Floyd trouble.

        Anywho...

        Baldimir was the man to beat at WW...Floyd had to fight him.

            Some of you ****** mofos need to stop bashing Floyd for not figting Cotto. First of all you guys need to understand that Cotto is from Puerto Rico.

              Don't come with that bull****. In 2006 Margarito was considered as the best WW. He the best WW resume at the time. And, was better than Boldomir. And, a riskier fight. There was nothing of journeyman status with Margarito.

                Floyd could've avoided fighting Baldomir by refusing the give Zab Judah a fight after he lossed to Baldomir.

                  regardless to what is said, people were leaving after the 8th round because pbf was on his bike. i was glad i did'nt buy that fight. the undercards were better.

                    fine, baldo had the lineal title.

                    but floyd didn't need to retire and let cotto/mosley/margo fight it out and then come back when they are all spent.
