Peep this thread for an explanation as to why Mayweathers career has gone how it did... http://boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=306201

He had a hand injury which made him sit out until later in the year...there was an article on it by ESPN...I'll find it I don't see why you would turn down a big payday against DLH...he could have retired after that fight...he retired before the outcome of Margarito-Cotto... You have the right to ur opinion tho, I don't think he ducked Margarito and I don't think Margarito stood much of a chance to begin with...Cotto and Shane are another story tho... ..............................lol.................

Kostya Tszyu Michael Rosenthal Some of these are legit and others are just reaching. While you can fight everybody in boxing i have to agree with some names on this list, Margarito..Casamayor.. But its easy to counter all these claims by saying he fought castillo and corrales who beat Stevie johnston.. I really dont know why Tsyzu was on the list because there wasnt any chance of that fight happening due to Tsyzu's injuries and mandatory stacking up by the time he was healed up enough to fight. Mosley fight could/should have happen but i blame both for the fight not happening, Pacquiao shouldnt even be on the list, Spadafora i dont really know much about that situation..But i think the Cotto one is just timing. So the Margarito and casamayor one stands out..

that video on page 5 proves he wasnt ducking 8 people on that list. cotto and margo well take want you want from him not fighting them.

i think most of the original poster's list is reaching. But before he "retired" he reaaallllllly had no excuse to avoid Cotto and Margarito. In that order.

Would you not pursue a fight with Oscar De La Hoya? :lol1: Yes. It has nothing to do with the De La Hoya fight. In between the 12 months (April 06 and May 07) where he only fought Baldomir. I'd have fought Margarito in August for $8 mil, Baldomir in December for another $8-9 mil, and had 5+ months left over to rest and prepare for the De La Hoya fight. That's just me. Money May does what gets him more money though so I don't know.

You can make a list of fighters that every single boxer should have faced. Floyd never fought any of them, but he still has a very good resume.

Yeah, I meant Judah and De la Hoya. Would you not pursue a fight with Oscar De La Hoya? :lol1:

Floyd called out Freitas and Casamayor. But none want him. Wanting to make big fights, he is willing to move up to fight Gatti. I cant say about the Welterweights. I dont know whos ducking who.

Nah mayne u mixed up. Floyd fought Judah in April 2006...he fought Baldomir in November 2006... Yeah, I meant Judah and De la Hoya.

Lol More than 12 months passed between the Judah and Baldomir. Are you trying to say May couldn't have fit a guaranteed $8 mil payday in 12 months? Even if Margarito would have beaten Williams, I don't see Floyd trying to take that fight, but whatever. I'll agree to disagree. Nah mayne u mixed up. Floyd fought Judah in April 2006...he fought Baldomir in November 2006...

not unless he retires and waits for them to lose! or wait he already beat the welterweight "champ" named baldomir. what more do you people want! baldomir was the lineal champ and one of the best fighters i've ever seen leave floyd alone! Lol He had a hand injury which made him sit out until later in the year...there was an article on it by ESPN...I'll find it I don't see why you would turn down a big payday against DLH...he could have retired after that fight...he retired before the outcome of Margarito-Cotto...

Pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. rejected promoter Bob Arum's $8 million offer to fight welterweight titlist Antonio Margarito, and he instead exercised a provision in his contract to buy Arum out and become a promotional free agent, Arum told ESPN.com on Monday. According to Arum, Mayweather turned down the career-best purse to meet Margarito on Aug. 12 on HBO Pay-Per-View, instead opting for free agency by buying Arum out of their deal for $750,000. "I did hear from him," Arum said of Mayweather. "He decided not to fight this summer. I made him a tremendous offer. I think Margarito is the riskiest fight for him of anyone out there." Mayweather adviser Leonard Ellerbe told ESPN.com that Mayweather passed on the fight not because he is ducking Margarito, but because he couldn't be ready to fight by Aug. 12. Mayweather injured his right hand during a dominating April 8 victory against Zab Judah. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2420382

And all politics aside...do people actually think Margarito could beat Floyd Mayweather? Everything in Floyd's style is very wrong for Margarito... Margarito has to wear an opponent down...you can't wear down what you can't hit... Floyd doesn't do business with Bob Arum...I don't believe Floyd feared Margarito... Margarito was just hung on to by those who dislike Floyd...first it was Margarito, then it was Cotto, then it was Mosley, then it was Pacquiao... People just wanna see Floyd lose....end of story There are, but it's not always about that. Ask around, see how many people think Caballero is gonna beat Juan Manuel Lopez. There are fights that have to happen, regardless of what most people think. Would if Margarito had walked (ran) down Floyd and he'd have crumbled under the pressure and the constant punch dodging? Upsets happen in boxing. That's why the fights are fought in the ring and not on paper.
