During a recent interview with BoxingScene.com's James Blears, promoter Bob Arum took aim at WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. Arum says that Mayweather is a coward, mentally, and he's running scared from having to face Antonio Margarito and WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto.

�It�s all about money. It�s all about avoiding anybody who can give him a contest. He and De La Hoya are going to fight again�like anyone cares. He isn�t concerned at all for his legacy, but Cotto and Margarito are! I did most of Mayweather�s fights when he was coming up, and I know his mentality. Mayweather is a coward. Not a physical coward, because no one who goes in the ring is a physical coward. He�s a psychological coward."

"He cannot cope with the possibility of losing. I know that. We dealt with him over the years. Even though we presented opponents to him we figured to beat, he wouldn�t fight them because there was a chance that he could lose.�

[QUOTE=WilmaFlintstone;3515820]If you check his record from start to finish you can see how he hand-picked his opponents and only fought who he thought he could beat... thus the undefeated record. His first Mega-Fight was against De La Hoya... that was his first pay-per-view/Mega Fight. And...
