    Have any fighters ever ducked Floyd?

    You hear so much about Floyd ducked this guy, didn't want to fight that guy etc. At one point it made up about 50% of the threads on NSB. NOTE: This thread is not a debate about who Floyd may or may not of ducked.

    The question is have there been any fighters that ducked Floyd?

    There's the quote from Floyd "Mosley moved up two divisions to avoid me", then there's the famous "toothache" excuse from Mosley.. Who the hell knows, I can't say.

    Discuss.

    Chavez Jr ate his way up to LHW because there was a rumor Floyd might go to 160

        I don't know about in the past, but now nobody's going to duck him because of the massive payday and knowing that he's unlikely to do lasting damage.

          Hatton and Cotto turned down a fight at 140lbs.

          Cotto was very green back then.

            This is indisputable.

              Prince Naz after Barrera had trouble making weight so he quit boxing rather than move up and fight Floyd.

                    Floyd didn't fight Margarito that November now did he.
