Do other boxers view Mayweather as a ducker?

[Eaner0919]

most fighters I talk to respect the **** out of Mayweather. Some do not like him or his personality but know just how good he is and know that he would fight anyone. A few think he legitimately ducked a few fighters

[M.I Truth ?]

I think once a fighter is at the top or near it you will hear detractors saying they ducked people. Floyd gets it a little more than usual and people rewrite history. After all it was this past September that Floyd was ducking Mosley apparently. Looking at what people say now it doesn't appear much has changed. Its interesting because I saw thread after thread about how he was going out of his way to avoid Mosley and how he has ducked the man. Now since he fought Mosley in his next fight the conversation has shifted to the next Guy he is apparently "ducking".

Floyd cant fight everyone. Just because he isnt fighting someone does not mean he ducked them

[The Gambler1981]

Sure some do view him liek that while others do not, the whole fact of the matter if any fighter finds themself in the position Mayweather currently has they will end up doing roughly the same thing.

History has proven that.

Everyone was saying that he was ducking mosley but look what happened. Now the real question is why did pac duck mosley? why did pac have to weight drain cotto and oscar and was trying to weight drain floyd? Everytime floyd beats someone people say well when is he gonna fight this guy or this guy. He can't fight everyone. and floyd never ducked cotto. They asked cotto if he wanted to fight floyd and cotto said that he was not ready. Bob Arum did not want cotto to fight floyd cause he knew cotto had no chance at winning.

I personally don't think he ducked half those guys most people claim he has, but I do think alot of fighters have little confidence in Floyd given them a shot at fighting him.

For instance Paul Williams recently stated that he would rather call out Pacquiao than Floyd because at least Manny would be willing to face him. I have also seen this lack of confidence in other fighters as well when talking about Floyd facing them. Not hating, but this Is how I see it as far as other boxers view Floyd.
