everyone ducked floyd the biggest money fight out there? seems unlikely and if you look at the evidence it really looks like he just didnt want to fight certain guys. his own promoter at the time top rank said as much.
"Arum and Diaz say that the 'Pretty Boy' was offered in the neighborhood of $7 million to face Margarito. In what could best be described as a 'business move', decided to bypass Margarito, to collect nearly $4 million to spar with Sharmba Mitchell.
"Flat turned him down like you can not believe," Arum said of Mayweather when he was offered a chance at the WBO title. "Any time we raised his name, Mayweather went crazy."
its very rare your own promoter throws you under the bus like that and you can find many examples of him saying silly things and making excuses to not fight prime marg, prime cotto, prime pac, etc...thats why i find it strange people blame top rank when he didnt fight them when he himself was with top rank. i just dont think we should give a proven liar and fraud the benefit of the doubt. we all remember take the test and we got a fight...but then he didnt fight and demanded pac take a flat fee for the biggest ppv in the history of boxing. fool me once shame on you..fool me 5000 times? shame on me. the guy had the most power in boxing and yet ended up with that resume. guys like leonard, hoya, etc...who were boxings biggest stars could have made any fight at any time...and did. he wielded the same power and came up with baldomir and a bunch of old guys. a choice.
