Floyd Mayweather Jr has given us all plenty of reasons why we should question his integrity, his motives, and his actions. For a boxer who claims to be the best in the world, he has numerous incidents in his professional career that have us all trying to figure out whether he’s a duck, a chicken, or a coward?
Duck
Floyd Mayweather Jr has a long history of ducking fighters. An example of his “ducking” would be when Mayweather decided to retire instead of fighting Oscar De La Hoya for a second time. Miguel Cotto always felt that Mayweather ducked him and other tough fighters:
“That’s the thing he does for his whole career. He run from the really good boxer kind, he choose the others. I don’t know how the people who know about boxing put him in the first place in the pound for pound champion.”.. Miguel Cotto, 2009 (BoxingNews.com)
Chicken
Many Mayweather critics will say that Floyd is a chicken because he has ducked the tough fighters and either retired or picked smaller fighters like Marquez to fight. George Foreman went further and said that Mayweather was a chicken for how he fought in the ring:
“But who is Mayweather? He's a nobody. When he was young he was a loveable little fella but something went wrong and changed inside him. Now he is always cursing and bad-mouthing other fighters. The guy deserves an Oscar for some of the stuff he says. There is no way I would consider him to be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He is good but he made a fool of himself against Oscar De La Hoya. He was in the greatest fight of his career and he just ran and ran like a chicken…” George Foreman, 2007 (BoxingScene.com)
Coward
Mayweather has a a long history of beating women and other criminal acts. In addition to his criminal acts, Mayweather is considered a coward for his ducking of tougher opponents and his fear of fighting someone that could beat him. Recently, Mayweather is said to have caused the fight with Pacquiao to fall apart due to his absurd blood testing demands. Bob Arum had this to say about Mayweather Jr:
"I’ve been saying this for years: He’s a psychological coward who doesn’t want to fight anybody who has a chance of beating him," … Bob Arum, 2009 (Malaya.com)

So I ask you readers: Is Mayweather Jr a duck, a chicken, a coward, or all of the above?
