What fighters did Floyd Duck?

[J The UnBiased]

He ducked Duran, Lenox Lewis, Jones Jr, GGG, Pacquiao, Wlad and Margarito.

Floyd had an excuse, a great one actually, I don't know why people hate him for it, he said Mosley had 5 losses, why should Floyd fight someone with 5 losses? seriously, come on!

He was telling the truth. Many were claiming Floyd was ducking Shane and that Shane would knock him out. Then Shane took the random tests and got beat.

Why would Shane take the tests if he knew it would make him weak?

If he went straight to DLH, you would be right but he still fought Baldomir for the same amount of money. Which says, he went with the money rather than the challenge = DUCK.

Hmmmmmm....fight a guy who beat Miguel Gomez, or fight the #1 Ranked welter who just beat Judah and Gatti? Talk about a risk huh?

You don't know much about boxing do you.

Don't worry this is a good place to learn

None. Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr professionalize the art of ducking. Look at him right now, he's 37, he's not retired. Just goes to show that his so-called retirement years ago was indeed fake.

Obviously.

Floyd retired after the De La Hoya fight, because the he could not duck the Marg fight no more.

He returned a year later, but did he fight one of his welterweight rivals, Mosley, Margarito, Cotto or Williams.

No he took on Hatton, who didn't look very good in his only other welterweight fight.


He then retired again avoided the big 4, at a time when the division was very strong.

Floyd laid low while his opponents bravely fought on, knocking lumps out of each other.

Floyd then returned nearly two years later, when he eyed a fight the much smaller very popular Pacquiao.

But Floyd was still weary of Pacquiao after the demoliton of Oscar and Hatton at the hands of the Pacman.

And then when Pacquiao destroyed Cotto, Floyd does what he does best, Duck.

Pacquiao was still winning and wanting the fight, Floyd had used his excuses, so Floyd pulled the vacation card again.

He uses this when everything else fails.


Floyd truly is a ATG ducker

The reason I didn't mention Johnston is, and I'm sure you know this already, is because Johnston was never on the level of a Mosley, or a Margarito or a Pacquiao. If I'm not mistaken, the time at which Floyd was moving up to lightweight, Johnston was losing to Castillo and Floyd fought Castillo, I can't see any wrong doing in that.

Yet, if you think Floyd ducked Johnston, you must surely believe he ducked Pacquiao, yes ?

He was offered the Johnston fight before and after the Castillo bouts. He turned him down both times and to this day I've had no idea why.

As for Pacquaio, sure Floyd played his part well. I think Pacquaio wasn't too keen either if I'm honest. Both were happy no fighting each other and making a lot of money.
