the real question is, who was ducking floyd?

most people dont know how he was avoided when he was Pretty Boy Floyd mayweather.

He was a young prodigy making it look easy and the big names didnt want that work

this is the floyd who inspired me to box and be a trainer. He was a pleasure to watch in the late 90s and early to mid 2000s

He was avoided but got a shot at the lineal 130 title after beating 17 bums. How unlucky he was! (being sarcastic)

I know who HE avoided. Erislandy Lara, his WBA mandatory for years.

what a surprise.....someone who doesn't like him posted first....gotta love it

If you think he avoided Lara, cool.

He got an opportunity and won, you probably wasnt watching boxing when he was at 130-140. He called out the big names all the time and it fell on deaf ears

So how did he get Corrales after he beaten Hernandez at 130? he didn't have to move up or anything. No deaf ears.

When he was at 135 he got Castillo twice. You can't say he was avoided in the same way GGG is.

when he was at 130-135, he was calling out naseem hamed, Casamayor, Freitas, Lascano, he called Kostya Tyszu out fight after fight. etc.

The fights never happened and floyd was more high risk and low reward back then

GGG is really not avoided to the level you guys try to make it seem....why'd you even have to bring dude up. Stay on topic

GGG is a fighter they are trying to build as a star and they are feeding him cans until a canelo fight. If you dont know that by now, you're naive

I'll give you a few Mw's for you to think about.
Sergio Martinez
Felix Sturm
Saunders.
Jacobs.
Eubank jr.
Canelo (went back to jmw) and vacated the mw title.

I'm not naive, you're a hater which is different.

Right after Pirog destroyed Jacobs, GGG signed to fight him. How is that being fed cans until a canelo fight? Pirog was the most difficult MW at the time. Now you're gonna give your pitiful response "you don't get credit for fights that didn't happen". Well, the training camp was on. Not GGG's fault that Pirog broke his back during training camp and never returned.

That's a FACT that shows how he always wanted to fight the best MW. When you have the best MWs stating at the press how good GGG is and how they won't fight him, why can't you accept the truth?
