(by Leonard Ellerbe)
Let's look at fighters the public and boxing demanded him to fight:
1. Antonio Margarito
2. Miguel Cotto= We already know. "He lives too far, he out there in Puerto Rico". the Mayweather waited for Cotto to lose his edge and then by then there was no demand for Mayweather to fight him.
3. Shane Mosley= Again, Mayweather waited for Mosley to lose his edge, he knew he would lose his edge after a fight with Andre Berto, however instead that fight was cancelled and by then Mosley was ring rusty and overtrained.
4. We already know Mayweather demanded himself out of a fight with Manny Pacquiao, but what he's doing is he knows either packie will lose the edge after a year or too (which I believe he already has), or Packie will eventually lose after fighting so many elite fighters, and there will be no demand for a showdown. I believe the demand hs already blown over.
So, is Manny Pacquiao the only coward out of the fighters Mayweather's ducked or avoided? Mayweather was backed into a corner into fighting Mosley. He probably wouldn't have fought Mosley if Mosley didn't press for a fight like he did. However, the ONLY fighter in recent years Mayweather has fought with the edge is...........Ricky Hatton. And Mayweather was a bit off guard in that fight.
and finally, Mayweather getting his cherry popped:
