HBO is trying to make Mayweather-Pacquiao fight when Floyd is still in HBO. Floyd leave HBO and go to Showtime to make it harder for Bob Arum to make the fight happen. The fight could have been done if Floyd pick the winner of Pacquiao-Marquez 2 bout. Why the best defensive fighter in the world DID NOT choose the fighter he call "1 dimensional" "easy work" "midget"?
Floyd Mayweather's Legendary Ducking Resume
1999 - ducked Joel Casamayor and Shane Mosley (fought Chavez)
2002 - grew balls and fought Castillo (and Castillo got robbed)
2004 - ducked Kostya Tszyu and Winky Wright to fight Demarcus Corley, Henry Bruseles and Arturo Gatti
2006 - ducked Margarito and undefeated Cotto (fought Zab Judah? Who just lost)
2007 - ducked Clottey, Paul Williams, undefeated Cotto, Margarito and fought an out of his prime (and already TKOed) Dela Hoya and fought Hatton at 147(not 140)
2008 - Do a FAKE retirement to ducked Clottey, Paul Williams, undefeated Cotto, Margarito and Mosley
2009 - ducked Pacquiao, Cotto, Cintron, Clottey, P Williams, and Mosley and fought a lightweight Marquez(Yes, a lightweight!)
2010 - ducked Pacquiao, Cotto, Cintron, Clottey, P Williams, and Sergio Martinez and fought a faded Mosley
2011 - ducked Pacquiao, Cotto, Cintron, Clottey, and S. Martinez
2012 - ducked Pacquiago, Clottey and S. Martinez and fought Cotto who was TKOed twice already (HBO is trying hard to make Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.)
2013 - ducked Pacquiao (Floyd go to Showtime to make it harder for Bob Arum to make the fight happen.)
2014 - ducked Pacquiao, Lara and Khan**Pac n Lara are his mandatory. Khan won over Maidana on Floyd's own poll)
2015 - 36yr old Pacquiao slightly loss speed and power. Time to fight?
Floyd also avoided Acelino Freitas, Paul Spadafora and Leonard Dorin.
Most recent ducked fighters, Khan and Lara. Pacquiao and Lara were Floyd's mandatory. What the so called TBE do? He made a poll between Khan and Maidana. Fans choose Khan. Khan won the poll. Floyd choose the slow and flatfooted Maidana. Not only he ignore his mandatory, he ignore his own poll and more importantly, he ignore his own fans. ***65279;
