    Probably on the way to a corner stoppage? Please.

    Floyd did two-thirds of **** all in the first 6 rounds. He did one-third of **** all in the final 6 rounds.

    Go back and look at that fight. Look at Baldomir's body language. Watch how he would slink back to his corner. Baldomir was a mentally beaten and totally frustrated fighter.

    Before PBF went into safety mode, Floyd was racheting up the volume, hitting him clean from all angles, with Baldomir flailing wildly. That fight was well on its way to a 'Gatti' or 'Gomez' ending. No need for his corner to send him back out there for that.

    But go ahead, keep hatin.

    I believe there is unfinished business between Mayweather and Baldomir.
    After Floyd finally settles the score with Oscar and Hatton, he's going to have to address the Baldomir situation or he will lose credibility in my eyes.

    Yeah he was frustrated, so what? Was he in any way hurt at all? Baldomir was going to bring the fight all night long, no matter what Floyd did. He wasn't going to quit and his corner were urging him on, not deflating his spirits. They weren't saying we're going to pull you out if you don't land a couple of punches in the next round, they were telling him he was winning ( lol@that) and that he needed to put more pressure on.

    It wasn't as if Floyd was tearing him apart in the first 6 rounds and he only backed off in the second half. Floyd was running the whole fight, putting in a few more shots in the first 6 rounds sure, but not that many more than he did in the final 6.

    He could of cut loose on him a few times. Especially after coming out in that gladiator suit. When you're that much better than someone, give the fans something to get excited about. That was probably the beginning of my dislike for Floyd.
