How is that ducking, Mosley says he will fight Floyd in May, and not in November.

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

No he left Top Rank and fought Baldomir won the lineal title and became the highest payed athlete...then Mosley BEGGED FOR A FIGHT

None. Nobody ducks defensive, boring boxers. The only reason why they avoid such boxers is they generally don't draw flies. Floyd got his Hoya chance and won a split decision. Hoya fans were disappointed and demanded a rematch which Floyd ducked. They have been following him since to see him lose.

Traditionally the guys that are avoided are big knockout punchers that can due serious damage to one's career. That has never been a concern so I don't think Floyd has ever been avoided. There really is no risk when fighting Floyd.
You get your biggest payday and a chance to make history and if you lose you still get that extra exposure and come out pretty much unscathed.

Only after 2007. The reason he didn't get big fights at Top Rank is Arum wanted to protect his more popular fighters like Oscar and Cotto. Floyd was HIGH risk low reward because he was very skilled but Arum didn't think he could ever turn him into a megastar.

The normal business plan is to avoid skilled fighters that don't have big fanbases. Big punchers that make big money have people lined up to fight them and earn their payday.

Mosley, Hatton, & Gatti turned Floyd down when Floyd wanted the fights but ended up fighting him later.


At the lower weights, Naz, Freitas, and Lazcano all turned down Mayweather fights.

No but he ducked him , fear doesnt come in to at this level kid , there is lots of financial reasons , ego reasons , promoter reasons , political reasons off why Manny ducked Floyd and its easy to prove if you look objectively at all the hard evidence according to the timeline that events unfolded .
