    Yes, he did. Mayweather picks his fights we all know that. His objective is not to fight the best and prove to the fans who the best is. But i give him credit for the Delahoya fight, still Margarito would have given him hell no matter how you put it.

      mayweather wanted the easy way thats why he tried to fight anybody but margarito. all of this cowardly maywather actions made me respect margarito for being a true warrior who will fight anyone anytime.

          I don't know how that means ducking. I think ducking is way too harsh of a term to use on a guy who has like 5 multi-million dollar fights on the table, and he just picks one of them. Would he have ducked Baldomir had he fought Margarito? If you use the criteria you are using, then the answer would be yes, meaning Mayweather would have had to duck someone somewhere... and that's not fair to make a fighter be labeled a ducker.

            Margarito PICKED the most awkward fighter? Margarito did all he could to avoid Williams who was his MANDATORY.

                  he had the chance to fight cotto but he fought williams to prove he was the best unluckily he was 2 rounds short of beating him but he proved a lot by fighting a guy mayweather will duck his entire career

                    He fought him to make sure he didn't get stripped by the WBO. Notice he waited until the last minute to fight him? Wonder why?
