It really is. When supposed P for P is counting for his fanatics to support a Baldomir win.
Floyd did what he was supposed to do. What would have been surprising is knock Carlos out.

Pitter Pat your way to a victory and EXPECT criticism.
Tiger Woods leaves when your still fighting... expect it.
Charles leaves, expect it.
Crowd boos, expect it.
PPV numbers low, expect it.

Floyd can con his fans, but he won't con me. I know what an elite fighter is... Floyd Mayweather.
But I also know what a true B*d*ss is too. Let me just say Pernell Whitaker is above Floyd.
Roy is above Floyd. Hell, I'd even rate the careers of Morales above Floyd. hahaaha
I know I got a few stomachs turning with that one. But I can name many great names on
Morales' resume. And let me just say, I love Castillo but he ain't no Barrera or Pacquiao...
and may the boxing gods look down on you if you compare Castillo to Chavez or Duran.
Someone who speaks the truth. What some people are failing to realize is that almost everyone can agree Floyd is talented. He just doesn't have the resume to be considered anywhere close to an all time great. People keep bringing up Gatti and Baldo. Two fighters who where perfect for Floyd....slow and not particularly skilled. Anyone with some knowledge knew they didn't have a chance. It's a joke for anyone, including Floyd, to point to these wins as a major accomplishment. The man has been coasting recently...and he and his fans think that most of us are STUPID enough to seriously think he is an all time great. You can show me a million stats JT...it boils down to the level of your competition. Floyd is trying so hard to be an all time great, an icon, a legend.....but he just does not have anything to back it up. He isn't particularly popular, doesn't have the humour or charisma, has no defining point to his career....and most importantly...unlike the true all time greats...he simply has not fought great fighters. Whether that's his fault or not is debatable. But he has no right to think he can be mentioned in the same breath as a Sugar Ray Robinson or an Ali or so many other greats. RIGHT NOW, he is just a very talented fighter. End of.
Yes sir!!! I'm stupid sir!!!!
Since we bring up resume's.

Floyd wasnt and isnt around in a time where there are Duran's running around the divisions or Leonards' or Hearns' and he shouldnt NOT be considered a great because of the time he's in.

Facts are this, he fought who he had to beat in the divisions and came up and fought everyone that people said would beat him. And I say unless there has been one opponent that 100 percent of people watching the event would say "Floyd is going to win this so easily" Then hush about how he hasn't fought anyone. There were people picking against him in his last 8 or so fights and he won. Nobody nowhere put 100 to none odds that Floyd would win. And most of the time it was because they wanted that "one punch" to land and when it doesn't they say that Floyd fought a nobody.

Floyd's era in this era Floyd has fought hte best the divisions had to offer.

People say Hatton the only name on his resume is Tszyu and when he went up to MAKE a fight with Mayweather he nearly got dethrowned by Collazo.

Margarito is just getting annoying.

Baldomir was the Undisputed champ and regardless on how Floyd made him look the guy still beat Judah and stopped Gatti. And unless every person at the crowd and the betting tables was putting money on Floyd then they felt he would or could be beaten by Baldomir, and when he started dominating Baldomir so easily they got upset at Floyd.

For what? WINNING!?!

You talk about his resume, but honestly people, why fault Floyd for not being around in an era that produced 10 or potential champs a weight class like in Leonard and Hearns' days?
CC for being spot on.
