Why?

The lead-up is always different... he respected him and I think as well what should he have said? He doesn't speak english good... and Mayweather doesn't speak much spanish...

Mayweather in general after fights is very respectful towards his opponents UNTIL they are disrespectful towards him... even after the headbutt from Ortiz he tried to downplay it and acted liked that happens and is ok... but since they can't keep their mouth he is shouting at them too... it's the same with everyone... he was respectful towards DLH and Hatton as well UNTIL they started to discredit him...

Floyd was pretty respectful during the Judah build up.

Judah was fairly disconnected during the build up.

[ramses07]

he didnt see him as a threat.

Didn't see too much smack talk vs Baldimor either.
