    but whose ducked Floyd career-wise?

    I don't think any of the standouts at 140 are really interested in facing him.

    At 130-135....Castillo & Corrales fought him, but we know those two are a different breed of fighter.

      Cotto isnt interested in him.
      Some could say Judah isnt either.
      DLH wasnt fond of fighting him as well.

        He's so awesome, yet doesn't carry the marquee value that would make him worth going up against.
        I don't see how anyone could disagree. He's one of the few fighters around that you know you are probably going to lose against.

        Seriously, what fighter is going to sign for a bout where he has like a 90% chance of losing? That's half the reason Floyd isn't getting any fights (the other half is his stubborness, of course).

        Winky is arugably a close #2, though.

          I agree in one sense that no one wants a piece of this little **** because in terms of skills "all fighters" no they dont match up.

          BUT...

          Floyd Mayweather Jr. has to be the hardest little ****er to do business with in the sport...there is no way you are going to get him to understand that A+ talent doesnt mean you are and A+ attraction...I cant imagine Little Floyd at the negotiating table, but I can imagine him foiling a big fight or two.

          I guess what Im trying to say is that Floyd probably makes it a little easier for guys who are not all that interested in fighting him say NO.

            I voted for Wright...

            But Byrd, Glen Johnson?
            I'd pick Tarver over Johnson..

            Also at Heavyweight, Wlad is probably the one who is most avoided... Everyone keeps saying how he is "Very high risk, very low reward"
            For that same reason, I would also include Peter as a fighter many will avoid..

              Mayweather by far. He's been ducked by many top fighters for years now.

                  cooler, i agree with tarver and wk. they tend to get avoided. except that glen wants to fight tarver again. i think it would be somehwat boring, but if this gets made, it should most definitely be made on regular hbo, not ppv.

                  i think wright might be also. and possibly pacquiao.

                    Zaheer IMO. That doo's win ova Morales should be A STAR TRANSFORMATION! It was a blow out. I mean come ta **** on. Pacquiao blew Barrera away and he's been gettin big fights eva since. BUT I BELIEVE that ta reason behind tis is many tod dawgs believed they can/could outox Manny.

                    Now that Rahhem won, nobody at 135lbs wants him IMO becuz no one out thurr has ta style to compete wit him. Aint it weird that Raheem is mo suitable bein discussed of fightin ta lil guys like Barrera, Pacquiao, Marquez, etc....... HE SHOULD be FIGHTIN Diaz, Freitas, Lazcano and corrales.

                      Wlad avoided? You must be kidding me. A green fighter in Peter almost beat him by POINTS!
