In one or 2 of the rounds,he wowed me with his lead rights and ducking under what Baldo did but apart from that,he didn't land any bone crunching shots,there was no jab,no bodywork etc etc. That's not hating,it's facts.I don't even see how he hurt his hand,it wasn't as if he was landing cracking shots off the top of Baldo's anvil like head,he wasn't.

I personally am not hunting anyone to beat Floyd,I think he can beat everyone although after seeing last night's fight,I honestly think Tony would give him hell although Floyd would be favourite but what gets to me is the fact that after like 9 rounds in the bag,1 or 2 rounds to go,rather than amaze the crowd or give them something to cheer about,he did nothing but run. That's not artistic,that's not boxing. What aggravates the situation more is that he compares himself to SRR,SRL etc etc yet performs like that!?


Winky Wright leaving after the 9th or 10th round tells me everything!! It's not bullshit,if I'm an average fan who has just shelled out $49.95 to watch that steaming pile of excrement,that's bullshit! If I'm one of the fans that has just helped Floyd recieve $9million for THAT performance,that's BS.

As for the presser after the fight,I think you can see how Floyd feels about the criticism. He doesn't really want to retire,it's just a ploy.(if it's not and he does end up retiring,I'll apologise,but I know I'm right). He knows ain't no one paying to see him in a fight like that again! I wonder what he would do if the other guy is a strong natural WW!?!

In concluding,I reiterate,I am not HATING,I am stating how I feel and have backed it up with facts/opinions. I was expecting to see a boxing masterclass but what I saw was the odd round of skill and the rest of pitter patter shots and running.Judah for the first 6 rounds was more convincing than that!I have not mentioned Hatton simply because Ricky overpriced himself for the fight and has turned it down more times than Floyd has..in my humble opinion,Floyd would beat Ricky.
Ok answer me this. What was the difference between Floyds shutout of Baldomir and Winky's shutout of Trinidad?

To me the Wright Trinidad fight was far more boring than this one but I've never heard anyone hate on Winky for that performance. On the contrary people love him for it, and talk about him being a defensive master and something bordering on genuis.

Plus Winky himself decided to take the 12th round off in his last fight with Taylor, at least Floyd knew he was winning when he slowed down.

I don't get it. Floyd beat Baldomir with more ease than probably any other welterweight would have been capable of and he still gets stick.

If the fight wasn't action packed enough then blame Baldomir, he was the one who did F*** all for 12 rounds.
