    of course floyd had to go into an angry black man "you-tryin-to-hold-me-down" diatribe when merchant just asked him a question.

      yeah, it's funny how these "Buzz" commercials and "Countdown" specials all of a sudden make people think Baldomir had a real shot. Like he didn't beat a Zab Judah who is mentally weak and didn't train for him and a fading Arturo Gatti to earn his PPV debut...

        I really don't think that Floyd made the fight boring. Baldomir had nothing to bring to the table, he never made Floyd do anything out of his comfort zone. He was too quick Baldomir was just a few seconds late on every punch. But, I give Baldomir credit he tried and he didn't give up. Although you could tell he was becoming quickly discouraged as the rounds passed.

          yeah thats why I was so dissapointed Floyd took this fight. Even if he is the true welterweight champion, he is still not on Floyds level. This "he is a true welterweight, who is big and can take a punch" crap was all hype to get ppv buys.

            And Mayweather's talk about "you dont know nothin about boxing" is starting to get annoying. So what if he doesnt fight. Are you going to tell Bert Sugar that? Im sure he knows more than you. Stop getting so offended and answer the question. Anyway he dominated like I thought he would.

              I would have got mad too.It is not Floyd's fault that Baldomir didn't have **** to bring to the table.Floyd fought his game.We all know that he isn't going to stand there and take punishment.

                Yea they made Baldomir sound like a giant welter in all those countdowns who had a chance to beat floyd with his insane size advantage and he was a inch shorter and gave up 5 inches in reach.

                  Merchants a douche bag

                  He didn't have to ask that ****, and even though Floyd was gettin pissed and being a **** to baldi cause Baldi was just walking through his punches for 12 rounds while the crowd cheered any and every time Baldi looked half decent, that **** Larry asked was still pointless...Floyd didn't deserve that. Im tired of this ****in guy, all he wants is Lions eating children to keep his old ass from fallin asleep during a bout, but thats not even what it's about. People will look back at this bout to point out the specific details on what made Floyd great during his time. He just came off of an amazing bout with Judah, where Judahs speed and little pop actually had Floyd lookin a little lost. Hasnt looked like that since the first JLC fight, so Floyd has the right to fight someone like Baldi right now. If this was 3 or 4 fights after the Judah fight where Floyd is fighting nothin but slower and less challenging fighters, than you got the right to sandbag Floyd...but thats not the case. So HBO should get someone else into the ring to ask questions, instead of Larry, who has obviously ****in lost it..

                      PBF was too good and Baldomir didn't bring enough to try to win.

                      This was a mis-match from the get and everyone knew it.

                      Floyd did what he was supposed to do short of killing the guy in the ring.

                      At least Baldomir lives to fight another day if he chooses.

                      Can't blame Floyd for the boos.
