Baldomir-Mayweather means one thing to me : legitamacy. Legitamacy at the Welterweight division for Floyd. He has been moving up in weight quickly and needs to solidify his hold at 147. Beating Baldomir and winning his linear championship does that. It shows that Floyd did something at 147. You can criticize Zab Judah for losing to someone you see as less skilled- but Floyd is fighting the champion. He does not control who that is.
Once Floyd becomes the man at 147, as Baldomir is now, and after the Oscar fight I think Mayweather would have a duty to defend his title against the biggest threat in the division- Margarito. If Margarito is the #1 ranked fighter at Welterweight with Floyd as the champ- THEN I completely agree the fight needs to happen. If it doesn't Floyd truly would be ducking Antonio. Anyone agree?
