If Floyd ducked Margarito he had a good reason to do it and it has nothing to do with Margarito's boxing skills (well, not directly). Margarito is a very dangerous fighter who isn't very rewarding. The risk in fighting him is bigger than the reward. Not only Mayweather has "ducked" him, ALL top WW have. Only contenders like williams will fight him now. Margarito had a chance to choose Williams or Cotto. He must have thought "well, if i go to the body on this little guy i'm getting an easy enough TKO victory" I did also think he would. What nobody was expecting was Williams managing to stay on the outside almost the whole fight, that ruined Margarito's plan. Failure in going to the body made life most complicated for Margarito as he had to persue Williams throughout the entire fight landing very few clean shots. Best round for Margarito was the 11th but his plan was to get 11th rounds every round.
Now with one more loss even less top WW will want to fight Margarito.Rules of the market.
