    Why was Baldomir horrid? The media was on Mayweather's case about that fight. Saying Mayweather was ducking him.

    Baldomir had just beaten Mayweather's closest 147 rival, Judah. The fight had to be made, and it was an easy one to make.

    Can't blame Mayweather for Pac's promoter being a *****.

    Never said I judged PBF`s all time status by not fighting Margarito. I just feel that his ATG status comes into question becasue he did not face the level of fighters that the super-fighers did..

    If he fought Marquez they would call it a cherry pick as he's beat him before.
    If he fought Pacquiao they would call it a cherry pick as he's coming off a nasty KO.
    Fighthing his mandatory yet he's still cherry picking?

    Seems like there is no winning for Mayweather.

    He HAS cherry picked in the past though.

    Honest question based on your above statement. Who didn't he face, that is superior to everyone he he fought and beat??

    So why point the finger at Mayweather solely prior?

    Arum is the main reason for the fight not happening simple as. The sooner people get that into their thick skulls the better.

    They say he ducked Margarito but he fought the person that beat him right after - (Mosley)

    They say he ducked Kostzyu but he fought the person that beat him two fights after - (Hatton)

    They say he ducked Pacquaio but he schooled the person that knocked him out - (Marquez)

    :patsch how ****in new to boxing are you? Baldomir will go down as the weakest ww champ ever. He was a gatekeeper at best, just lucky it was zab who had the belts.
