Floyd ducked Margarito and Cotto, period.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

I have to agree, he ducked Marg. Marg was the most feared boxer in the game for a while, he was a big strong fighter for his weight class and tough as nails. Floyd picks and chooses his opponents very well.

Floyd is irrelevant to me in the "sport" of boxing.

Mayweather definitely ducked Margarito. I think that is one of the biggest ducks of all time.

Yet, those fights could've been easily made......how convenient.

The Cotto fight was easily made. Exactly 30 days after Cotto left TR he signed the most lucrative contract of his career to face Floyd. With that knowledge (which I'm sure you already had) do you really believe that a Mayweather vs any TR fighter could have easily been made?

Floyd didn't have to retire to duck a prime Margarito and prime Cotto though, that is fact

that was a past his prime Cotto. if Cotto was prime, Floyd might have gone back into retirement

For the record, Cotto and Marg both lose to Mayweather in their prime. That still doesn't mean that Floyd didn't avoid them.

The bigger point in all of this, is that Floyd would have won IMO but it still doesn't mean he isn't taking the easier routes. The best should fight the best AT their best.

That's what makes an ATG.

I actually say that experienced Cotto was a better match for Mayweather, undefeated Cotto would have been a easier fight, practice makes perfect.

I ain't saying Floyd would lose either, just that he ducked them in their primes

Not all of Floyd's ducks are under Arum ... bad excuse anyways!

Name 1 elite fighter in Floyd's weight class, at that time, that was not a TR fighter that Floyd ducked.
