    It seems to me that Mayweather didn’t get the reputation as a “Ducker” until Bob Arum started spewing it into the media and websites AFTER Mayweather left Top Rank....Bob Arum BITTER about his STAR leaving Top Rank went on a Media Blitz to discredit Mayweather while attempting to push his fighter MARGARITO in the limelight by promoting "fear propaganda" and associating his name to Mayweather's......I mean this is the same Bob Arum that didn't want to put Miguel Cotto in with Mayweather when they were @140lbs and BOTH with Top Rank.....now Mayweather is scared of Cotto?


    here is a direct quote from Bob Arum about Floyd Mayweather b4 the Mayweather-Judah fight (which happens to be Mayweather's last fight on Top Rank)

    Bob Arum on Mayweather:

    "Floyd is the best fighter i’ve seen in 40 years other than the young Muhammad Ali, there are a number of aspects that make a great fighter. One is speed. His speed is phenomenal. The way he throws punches, phenomenal. The way he is conditioned, phenomenal. I mean, he’s the entire whole package. And beside all of those skills he’s the most intelligent fighter that I have ever seen. I mean, Floyd, this is no bull****; Floyd can see a punch coming before the other guy knows he’s going to throw it. Do you understand that? I mean, I have never seen such ring intelligence that Floyd demonstrates. And so he’s the whole package, and you know, Ray Leonard was a great fighter, Marvin Hagler was a great fighter, Duran certainly was great, Oscar had a couple of years where he was very good, but there’s nobody that is a whole package like Floyd."


    I wonder why Mayweather wasn't considered a ducker until he bought out his contract for Bob Arum for 750K and made 8 Million vs Carlos Baldomir, 25 Million vs Oscar De La Hoya, 20 Million vs Ricky Hatton????

    It's because Floyd got away from him and made millions, appeared on WWE, dancing with the stars, became the face of boxing almost over night, all because Mayweather had the foresight to leave Bob Arum for 750,000 dollars. Its obvious Bob arum hasn’t been able to live it down , he now spends his time trying to verbally destroy mayweather whenever possible!

              The Floyd Mayweather of old isn't the same inside or outside of the ring.

              I've said that a million times. Doesn't matter what he said 8 years ago, he's not that guy anymore.

                anyone can call someone out.. if you dont make the moves to fight them, then it really doesn't matter what you say.
                there are way more fighters that he ducked than he actually fought.
                I could understand a few handful of names but Mayweather's list is soo long it's not even funny.
                Clearly it wasn't the world not trying to fight him. It was the other way around.

                    There's no point in making an argument cause in the end some people are always going to believe what they want, regardless of facts. Right now people are hoping and claiming up and down that he will duck Mosley, when that fight gets made, they'll say Mosley's an old man. Haters are always going to hate, there's nothing rational about it.

                      What exactly does that video proven, absolutely nothing. If you can explain why he hasn't fought any of the top WW besides Judah, and those would be Cotto, Mosley, and Margarito, and this is before he retired, then maybe he's not a ducker. Otherwise, you can't be seriously convinced that Floyd is not a ducker since he hasn't fought any legit top WW since Judah.

                      Timing is key my friend...Everything is timing during the time Floyd was calling names he was on the come up and those fighters were the premire attractions making the 8 figure pay days. Like Roy Jones said in the post fight with Marchant for Oscar and Mosley to fight Floyd right then was more risk than reward and they had other business that was going to make them more money. Sounds like a very simular statement that I have heard from Floyd and Floyd fans alike. Think about it along those lines and truly no one is ducking anyone. it is all a matter of timing and pricing...Lefty
