    To duck a rematch with Oscar

    To wait for all the welters to fight each other


    To cycle off his PED's

    How could they beat you when you ran from all of them.

    Biggest coward to ever put on a pair of boxing gloves.

    Wait so he retired and came back 18 months later and all the welters he was "scared of and ducked" had been beaten in that same time frame? Wow Floyd orchestrated that, amazing!!

    Even without the whole ducking of pacman affair he must be up there for the biggest ducker in the history of boxing

    No he came back and continued to duck and fought a fat lightweight and even then was afraid so to be sure he came in above the weight limit

    There was a tweet from DHL that said Mayweather retired for 1.1 year and DHL's rematch clause expired after 1 year

    Yeah he made more money than he ever had in his life up to that point. He did want or need to box any more. But the man is an idiot when it comes to money. He spent most of it owed money to the irs. He came back to make much more money so that he hopefully will have too much to spend. I remember when folks here on esb were making fun of him for having to come back to boxing. Now that he has been successful in coming back they change their tune and say he did it to duck fighters. I don't get these people.
