Mayweather vs Baldomir was Billed As "Pretty Risky"

And yet with all that information people were still claiming Floyd was ducking him. The media and especially people like you(haters). Its a double edged sword. Floyd's damned if he do, and he's damned if he don't. Floyd wasn't a superstar yet. Floyd had to beat the man(Judah was the lineal WW champ) and beat the man who beat the man(Baldomir). Like it or not they were considered the top 2 guys at WW at the time. Do you honestly believe if he had sidestepped those 2 you wouldn't be on this board claiming Floyd ducked both of them?

 

If I were Floyd I would duck too. HE Barely beats washed up fighters who have knockouts at the weight

 

goes to show floyd was fighting the best. baldo was at the top. still that wasn't enough to even make it an interesting fight. best ass whooping by money

 

Mayweather ducked Margarito at that time for the lesser risk Baldomir.

Afterall, Mayweather was not looking for legacy as he himself said. So why go after baldomir? Because he defeated Judah? For the lineal title which he himself said he is not after (remember legacy?)

The simple answer is because Baldomir is the safer fight.

Simple question - if Mayweather is not fighting for legacy,then what is he fighting for? I am sure you will say Money. So Ortiz fight makes sense to you because it makes money.

 

It's no mystery Baldy was never risky, threatening, or worthy. You simply have to watch his fights to understand that. I think that's a big problem with so called "boxing fans". They don't bother watching fights. They read a bunch of posts and/or check out a round by round synopsis, or check Boxrec and they form an opinion based on that criteria. Tell me of one performance involving Baldy that you walked away from and said to yourself, "Wow, this guy is impressive."

 

Baldomir WAS the champion at the time and was considered the much larger fighter and therefor being "risky" for Floyd.

 

He's fighting for both. He can switch between the 2 reasons all he wants but both apply. News flash, Floyd ain't the 1st boxer to say one thing one minute and then change it up the next. Every boxer in the history of the sport have done it. Even the one's in your avy.

Here we go with "Margarito-duck" excuse as always. Here is a interesting question for you. Floyd was offered 8 million to fight Cheato. Floyd made that amount to fight for the lineal WW champ. Why didn't Arum just offer Floyd more money. Like you said, that's Floyd's weakness.

Option A: Fight an opponent for 8 milli
Option B: Fight an opponent for 8 milli and the lineal WW title

:think

Regardless of which fighter is tougher, 10 out of every 10 boxers will go with B.

You sure ain't complaining about Pac fighting Diaz instead of Campbell. You know the guy who was considered the top guy in the LW division at the time with the IBF, WBO, and WBA title. Why the double standard?

 

Where do I lodge my complaint of Pac ducking Campbell? I will sign my name immediately.

 

I'm sure you would. But you sure don't go out of your way to broadcast it throughout the forum like you do with Floyd's record.

And don't DUCK the other question? Why didn't Arum just offer Floyd more money to get him in the ring with Cheato? You admit that money is Floyd's true driving force. Think it over. I'll wait. But not too long. I got to go to work in the morning.

 

This is what i have said over and over Money beats and its a cherry pick the man is one of the best ever enjoy whilr you can.

 

Ask Arum.

Afterall, if I am fighting a safer fighter for 8 million and a riskier fight for8million, I would chose the former. Me and gay would think alike and I am what my avatar says.

But then I am not a prizefighter.

Or better, why did he not asked for a bigger amount against Margarito? I am sure Arum would easily add 1,000 dollars to the 8 million and it would a bigger purse fight.

 

Mayweather did not duck the Margarito fight. Even that crooked ******* Arum said Floyd would have fought Margarito, if Arum would work with Oscar for Floyd's next fight.

Arum said the money wasn't there for the Delahoya fight (which is complete BS since Floyd went to make more than that on his own)

Take it how you want, but Floyd was ready to sign for the fight and Arum wasn't under the terms.

 

Welcome back Blizz... :roll:

 

I'm as ready as anyone to say he ducked the fight if he actually did. But I'm not going to lie to suit any agenda.

I don't know what you're all salty about. Who's to say he didn't? I don't know and neither do you. But then I don't go through thread after thread of accusing fighters of ducking other fighters. But you're obviously not above that. We all know that pejevan has got the inside scoop.

All right, enough for today.:hi:
