    This thread is pretty interesting.

    First of all, isn't Danny Garcia fresh off of "ducking" Lucas Matthysse? I mean, he went from beating one guy he was accused of ducking, to now a month later he is ducking a new guy.

    There's little interest in a Mayweather-Garcia fight.

    Garcia said "if it happens, it happens, if it don't, it don't". To me, including the legacy comment, just seems like DG has a carefree attitude towards a fight with Floyd, which is the attitude he's supposed to have. He shouldn't have this "I want to fight Floyd tomorrow" attitude like Guerrero, Canelo and Khan have/had.

    Please, give it a rest. FFS, he's the Ring champ at 140, he just finished blowing up like a year ago, he just broke in to the scene relatively recent, he's young at 25 years old, KO'ed Amir Khan and swolled up Lucas Matthysse's orbital bone and he already has a laundry list of "ducks". I mean please, make this site a little bit more bearable to post in. Ducks happen,but this was certainly not the case here.

    As for Adrien Broner.
    1. He sucks.
    2. There's 0 demand for a Mayweather fight and i'm pretty sure Mayweather said he wouldn't fight him either, so in the words of Floyd to Brian Kenny: "So stop, so stop."

      First of all Garcia and Broner aren't on the lvl or close to of Money May, second, Broner and Mayweather will never fight simply because they claim themselves as "brothers".

      Personally, I would say the people who can fight Mayweather atm regardless of what everybody says are: Bradley, Pac, and Marquez. Atm Bradley has the upper hand but he is pair with Top Rank. I say Pac and Marquez simply because everyone wants to see the prior and with the later, although he does not match the skill of Money, he does have the exp.

          Maybe they should just refuse drug testing, that's a good enough reason to duck a fight.

            Just to add to your brilliant post, I don't see what the big deal is with Broner. At the moment the guy is overhyped and overrated. As for Garcia yes "He was ducking doe" but they have now moved on quickly from that ducking.. At the end of the day I prefer his attitude to say Khan who can't keep his mouth shut for one minute about the Mayweather fight.

              Danny Garcia should just say he wants to take a long vacation. If that doesn't work, ask for VADA testing. Hehe...

                Did i miss a memo? Has Floyd called either one of them out? I think for it to be even considered a duck Floyd should at least call them out first.

                  No ones ducking anyone. Broner and Garcia are now just starting to gain recognition outside of boxing circles give them some time so the fight can build. All 3 are Haymon fighters when he says it's go time both those fights are made
                  I think that those 2 fights are are going to probably be Mayweathers last 2 fights on showtime said it 6 months ago still think it, Maybe Manny fights in between them. Why else do you think Haymons building these 2 fighters up. As long as Broner and Garcia keep winning the fights will be made.

                  I think that people want to see these fights right away because most people on this forum hate all 3 fighters so if and when they fight only 1 will remain undefeated and the other 2 all the people can justify the hate they have for them by saying I told you so those 2 weren't that good just over rated and all hype.

                      neither of them are ducking floyd, broner and floyd are both in agreement not to fight eachother. not saying i agree with it but neither one is ducking the other.

                      garcia certainly isnt ducking floyd. they arent even in the same weightclass! not to mention the fact that garcia is champion in his weightclass and makes weight easily. but thats beyond the point, all that matters is they arent in the same division.

                      even if they were i wouldnt be mad at danny for not taking the fight, they arent saying they dont want it, just that that they wont rush into it. i like that, rather than going for the payday and just hoping for the best the are trying to put danny in a position where he can beat floyd. its a gamble, but actually shows more confidence than jumping up in weight to fight one of the best ever feeling less than ready. they believe danny will stay on top and know he improves quickly.
