Why do posters continue to discredit Floyd's resume because he ducked fighters???

[jas]

Ducks

Yes, he ducked a prime Cotto "because he lives in Puerto Rico."
He ducked a prime Margarito (who could have been cheating) "because we not fighting to see who the best is."
Possible duck of Paul Williams.
And the infamous duck of a prime and just past-his-prime Manny Pacquaio who would have been the only ATG on his resume but ATGs are few and far between in boxing.

Resume

But he still has one of the best resumes of this era and of any fighter in history past the age of 30.

Here are his wins over (future) Hall of Fame fighters:

In their prime: Diego corrales, ricky hatton, jose luis castillo,judah (borderline HOF), marquez.

Past their prime: genaro hernandez, de la hoya, cotto, gatti

You'd be hard-pressed to find many fighters that have that many wins over Hall of Fame fighters.

Haters are gonna hate but mayweather just stays being great. His Resume speaks for itself, even jesus christ had haters nuff said

Because hes too calculated and methodical with his picking of opponents. He is fighting a guy who lost to Pacs sparring partner, whilst Pac fights Bradley, Floyds future superfight.

He lets Miguel Cotto fight Sergio when all this time people wondered when he was going to. Never takes risks. Drains Canelo, yet SSM didn't even feel the need to do that at his advanced age.

Too much about the zero and not trying to show how good he can be.

The guys he did fight >>>its when he actually got in the ring with them.
No A fighters

Castillo- gift decision, Judah- should have been dq, marquez (how is age 36 prime?)- cheated on the scales.

E for effort .........

In the so-called duck category, blame Arum for Pacman, Cotto and Margarito.

How can you duck fighter's that are contracted to a promoter you will not work with and also sued. History contradicts the duck theory?

Paul Williams, was a Haymon managed fighter and during Pauls' career, you would be hard-pressed to find two Haymon fighters fight.


Got anymore?

On one of Showtime's December cards, all of the fighters except Judah were Al Haymon fighters.

Is this RECENT, or as I stated during Paul Williams career??

Because there was several discussions, that these fights wouldn't happen at the time because Haymon was their manager.

I always chuckle at posts like this because for some reason the fighters that Mayweather always gets accused of ducking all happened to be promoted by Bob Arum.
