    Yeah Scar...it's NEVER Floyd fault for anything. If he wants to price himself out of fights, or claim Margafito isn't big enough for his time, then it's never Mayweather's fault.

    I might have said Baldomir was more apporptiate then Judah....I'll take tyour word for it. I won't assume you're lying about what I said. But that was because Mayweather should NOT be facing someone who just lost all his belts in em embarressing manner. What kind of P4P champ faces a loser? And judging from you "WHat happened" question, you're just showing you don't understanbd my stance. You can say you do, and that I am making this up,. but if that's what you got from my statement, that YOU SAID I MADE, then you didn't get it.

    Mayweather should not, and I've said this a ton of times, should NOT face a guy coming off an embarresing loss. If you want to turn that into meaning something esle Scar, go for it. I get so sick and tired of posters mis-interpretting a post into what they want it to say. :patsch

    You might not agree with me there but it's still the truth, Mayweather tried to set up a fight with Baldomir but couldn't get the fight done so they went for the Judah fight instead which was already negotiated at that point and neither teams expected Judah to lose to Baldomir. Didn't Mayweather offer to fight Margarito at that time but couldn't get it sorted because Margarito was set to fight Manuel Gomez only 2 months before the Judah fight?, after all BOTH fighters were with Top Rank at the time and that fight was being discussed down under and mentioned various times. Arum wanted Mayweather to fight Gomez instead and Floyd fighting Judah then both clash, but that didn't happen and the rest is history. So to "justify" that fight with Judah it was the best available option at the time, who else was there to sign for instead?, Baldomir didn't want it, Margarito was set to fight Gomez, who else?

    It was a situation where there were no other options and Judah was the best current option despite coming off a loss. Cotto fought Judah recently, didn't he have better options?, the criticism can be ridiculous. Mayweather DIDN'T price his self out of a possible fight with Margarito, he got the same offer to fight the undisputed champion instead, it's only logic.
