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.

Yes. Manny Pacquaio ducked him in 2009. Mosley refused to fight Mayweather when Mayweather was at 130 and Mosley was champion at 135. Ricky Hatton (actually his promoter) refused to fight Floyd at 140 and Cotto (actually Bob Arum and Cotto's reps) refused to allow Cotto in the ring with Mayweather when they were both at 140. So, the answer is yes.

Hatton and Cotto turned down a fight at 140lbs.

Cotto was very green back then.

Cotto was a world champion at the time that Mayweather asked for the fight. Mayweather had fought two fightst at 140 at that time. How the f.ck can you be green and be a world champion?
