    I saw this coming. This guy is almost an exact clone of Mr. Plaster and isnt that who he "ducked" to get this fight? if he would have fought Margacheato and shut him out, Baldomir would have been the one he "ducked" and we would be saying he cherrypicked Plasterman

    I'd say no. I dislike Mayweather as much as the next guy, but Baldomir was a legit champ. Even if he was not a very good fighter, he was legit.
    Now, did Floyd stink up the joint in that boring ass fight? Yes, yes he did.

    no, people demanded that Floyd face Baldomir after the Judah win.

    yes, he cherry picked the true welterweight champion of the world in his second fight when he moved up in weight. The *******!

    How can you cherry pick the linear champ of a division? Anyone at 147 would have fought Baldo at the drop of a hat. You can't cherry pick a linear champ of a division andyone who says you can is a ****ing fool:deal

    Double standard. If he went on to fight judah or margo first, then he is ducking baldomir. He fought baldomir, now they say he is ducking margo. I don't believe in floyd ducking baldomir. He is the champ, and floyd beat him in an exceptional display of boxing skills. Was it boring ? yeah...but for me it was masterful.

    No.,but that doesnt change the fact that Baldo is nothing but an average fighter that was at right place at the right time and he took advantage of it by beating the mentally ******ed Zab Judah.

    especially after he took on the FORMER lineal champion immediately before in a fight already signed before he lost.

    he first disposed of the most dangerous welterweight in Judah (who is light years more talented than baldomir, no disrespect but come on) and then took on the lineal champ. he couldn't do much better

    Even though he was a weak opponent, Baldomir was a legit fight because he beat zab Judah.

    I like to say, PBF was fortunate.
