    Floyd ‘The Ducker’ Mayweather Jr. won’t fight Manny Pacquiao

    Floyd ‘The Ducker’ Mayweather Jr. won’t fight Manny Pacquiao

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. nicknamed himself money. No name in any language on earth could be more apropos when it comes to describing a man who also holds the world championship for ducking good fighters in their prime.

    How impressive is his undefeated record when you look at who he has fought and when? I thought it was ridiculous when praise was heaped on him for beating Oscar De La Hoya. De La Hoya was a shell of himself when he fought Mayweather. Before the fight Floyd Jr. ran his mouth like Floyd Sr. spewing nonsense about how he would brutally beat Oscar down and knock him out early, yet when the fight took place Mayweather showed a great deal of speed, when it came to running that is. The only brutal beating in that fight was the abuse boxing fans took in hoping to see an actual fight.

    That is the real Floyd Mayweather Jr., a fighter who patiently waits for the best fighters in the game to be taken out by others so he won’t have too. Many people think Mayweather’s best defense is his speedy hands and quick feet. Floyd’s best defense is ducking fighters in their prime, no one has ever come close to being as good as he is at it. Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosely, and Miguel Cotto could have all been big fights where Mayweather could’ve shown he is something more than a paper champion, but didn’t. On the day of Manny Pacquiao’s destruction of Ricky Hatton in two rounds Mayweather announced he is coming out of retirement to fight Juan Manual Marquez. Coming out of retirement for a fighter in their prime is also known as I’ve ducked the premier fighters in the game as long as I could, so now its time for me to find another washed up fighter to take advantage of. Marquez was a fighting great. He is past his prime now and like Mayweather did to an aging Oscar De La Hoya, he will do the same thing to Marquez. Marquez will think he is in a track meet, not a boxing match. Floyd will run from bell to bell. A real boxing fan will not order this piece of garbage on pay per view. If you want to see this fight just find a copy of Mayweather – De La Hoya and you’ll see exactly how it will go down without wasting your money.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the biggest fraud boxing has ever seen. Arturo Gatti, Sharmba Mitchell, Zab Judah, and Henry Bruseles are the type of fighters Mayweather used to make a name for himself. He uses fighters who once had a big name and following to fool the public. If Floyd Mayweather is boxings best pound for pound fighter like he says he is, why does he need to fight a past his prime fighter in Marquez? That would be because Marquez is an easy mark for another big pay day. Mark my words Floyd Mayweather Jr. will not fight Manny Pacquiao by the end of this year. Mayweather knows he can’t beat Pacquiao and will wait until someone else comes along who can before he will fight him. That’s just how ‘Money’ is.

    Haha, if Oscar was a shell of his former self when Floyd fought him, what would you call him when Pac fought him?

      Exactly Oscar was shot and severely weight drained when Pac took him on.

      How can the writer criticize Floyd for taking on the #2 pound 4 pound fighter in the world??

        Mayweather will fight Pac because isn't that the reason he returned to the ring. He'll take care of Number 2 P4P in July and have an interesting fight with Pac early next year probably.

              I kinda agree with him though. What better way to make the fans think that you are taking a risk by fighting an aging P4P guy in a new weight class for him that requires him to pack on weight? Why? to make Marquez slower and less of a threat.

              If he fights Pac, I'll kinda be surprised.

                But he did earn that ranking by fighting at featherweight and minimally at lightweight, now he is expected to be just as effective at 143?

                Why not have him fight Pavlik, I mean he is P4P right?

                  Marquez is aging but he's still a very good fighter and for Floyd, who come July 18 would have been inactive for 19 months, to take on this guy is still a big move.

                    Floyd is simply doing what other fighters like Dela Hoya have been doing for years. Is he the best Welterweight in the world, No Way!! Can he draw the superficial boxing fan in to pay big money to watch him fight another past his prime named fighter? You bet!!! It's the big money and the average boxing fan relying on the media mouthpieces to tell them who the great fighters are. Heck! Today in boxing if you can't get your fighter a world championship just invent another title!!! It used to be one weight class one champ then they added more weight classes to generate more sanctioning fees then came more and more sanctioning bodies with there own line of titles for each weight. Come to think of it just who is the Welterweight champions today?? Does anyone know them all? Floyd is a entertainer who happens to box and it's all about the money not the titles, offer him enough money he'll fight a blind kangaroo.
