In 2008 did Mayweather leave boxing because the welterweight divsion was dangerous

He took 18 months off..if the division was so hot then why wasn't it still hot when he returned?

Because they were all i wars against each other and fought and beat each other which EXACTLY what Floyd wanted, so he wouldn't have too fight the losers when he conveniantly returned!!!!!

Margarito vs Cotto was a WAR
Pacquiao vs Cotto was a WAR

Those 2 beatings took ALOT out of Cotto, and he's still not the same fighter.
Still hasn't fought Pacquiao
Avoided Margarito at the time he was prime'
Avoided P Williams

It was a calculated move to avoid the building pressure of fighting these guys

Could you say it probably backfired in terms of Pacquaio? they way i see it, his earning potential probably would have been 5x greater, 5 years ago, than it would be now, when the fight was red red hot, and was always a bigger fight than floyd/cotto.

Of course, without getting into your, if pacquaio would have taken the tests, rhetoric

You may be absolutely correct. But Manny refused the fight dude. You can't just gloss over that fact.

He did not avoid Margo- Arum refused to pay him what he wanted
How did avoid Williams?? the fight was never even close to being discussed or possible
Manny fight could have happened in 2010-but drug testing is for cowards

Cotto vs margo and manny are all top rank fights and easy to make..soon as cotto left the fight was made

You've been idolizing floyd too long, that math is all wrong.

my bad 21 months

[The Big Dunn]

Lol......ok

No lol. It's an indisputable fact. Best you can do is create some convoluted logic that "asking for tests equals ducking" or whatever other garbage crap you guys do.

It's simple-the things you guys say about JMM now for refusing the 5th fight, you should say about manny actions then.

This topic is dead as hell. Horse has been beaten to death.

Yep..but when all else fails they will bring up Castillo and his brief retirement...The horse has been beaten to death, molded and decomposed
