    Mayweather Has Not Ducked Anyone

    People like to claim that Mayweather ducked many fighters, but that is clearly not the case. Mayweather beat everyone worth beating at 130 and 135 and even gave a rematch to Castillo after a close fight. Some fighters wouldn't dare give an opponent a rematch after a tough, close fight (*ahem*Hatton*ahem).

    At 140, a fight with Tsyzu could not be made because Mayweather was with HBO and Tszyu was with Showtime. Besides, Tsyzu was injured and had mandatories the entire time Mayweather was at 140 (Mitchell and then Hatton). When Hatton beat Tszyu, it was Hatton who was asking for more fights before he was ready for Mayweather and that is a well documented fact.

    At 147, he had a tune up with Mitchell, then fought the former undisputed champion, and followed that by beating the current undisputed champ. And Mayweather is still at welterweight, so it's still possible he will fight other top contenders in the division but he can only fight one man at a time.

    Of course we also can't forget that Mayweather went up to 154 and fought the most dangerous opponent of his career. Mayweather has never ducked any fighter...

        Manny Pacquiao? Morales? Barrera?


        HAHAHAHA what the ****? Pacquiao was still at SUPER FLYWEIGHT in 2001. Barrera was at featherweight and Morales was at feather I think too. Floyd couldn't make the weight anymore so moved up to lightweight. I'm seriously doubting Barrera and Morales wanted to jump up 10 pounds to fight a fighter who wasn't known as a HUGE draw back then.

              If a 34 year old loser of 2 of his last 4 fights, and with only one fight in almost 3 years is the most dangerous opponent of his career, then Mayweather's legacy is in serious trouble.

                  That version of DLH would have beaten most fighters 147-154

                    Ignore Satori, he's an idiot.

                    Though, De La Hoya was still good. Out of his prime? Yes. Good? Yes.
