    When he ducks Khan in May i'll call him a ducker (although I still have hope that maybe just maybe he'll have the b@lls to fight him)

    You are Kidding . 5 11 Margarito only use to warm up after 5 rounds.
    Everyone Floyd fight gasses in the second half of the fight. Hence he Avoided 100 punches per round Paul Williams . The strong finishing Antonio Magarito and even a Tiny Manny P.
    You can not see the Pattern ? Really .

    Mayweather was not shot and Margarito was bigger, stronger, tougher, fitter and had a higher work rate than Maidana.

    What's the difference between all the other "slow plotters" and Margarito?

    Margarito don't throw 100 punches a round..

    So there's no pattern besides all of Floyd's opponents gases.. No credit to Floyd though right? Floyd only fights guys who gases in the second half of a fight now...

    Margarito and Paul Williams are the ones he should have fought, I'd say. It's hard to argue he didn't choose easier opponents instead.

    As for Pac, I think it's on Pacman refusing the drug tests. A completely reasonable demand and a strange thing for Pac to throw away the payday of his career for.

    fter Mayweather ducked and dodged his way out of fighting Margarito – Mayweather was so adamant about avoiding Margarito he eventually bought himself out of his Top Rank contract – Margarito hunted down the best available opposition. Against Clottey in December 2006, Margarito defeated Clottey despite a foot injury, setting a CompuBox stat record by throwing 1,675 punches over 12 rounds.

    Ok.. Maybe he does.. I never watched much of him.. What about my other points? And you honestly think anyone would or could throw that many against Floyd? Can't ignore the fact that everyone's punch output drops when fighting Floyd...

    Even if Margarito applied pressure, he was still ridiculously hittable.

    It would have been target practice for Floyd.

    People like vilans.it sells,"ducking" is one part of it.

    He loves money and the attention.and also loves all these haters.haters is one big reason why Floyd is where he is now.

    The richest and most "famous" boxer currently,loved or hated.

    And number 1 thing what Floyd want is to be rich celebrity.

    Hope i make sense,little bit of Bob Marley and i'm from Finland

    I don't watch Clotty either, but I know he's not a mover.. He stands on his shell which is something Floyd doesn't do.. I can confidently say no one would ever throw that many punches against Floyd.. You would miss so many and get hit in return so many times that you would "gas" like everyone else...

    Only a fool would think Floyd should have stayed with Arum.. There have been 0 negatives about him leaving and a lifetime+ positives.. Arum didn't want to pay him what he deserved for the fight that eventually broke ppv records and gave him the boxing crown.. It's stupid to believe he decided to be his own boss elevating his life/career further than any boxer ever to duck someone.. And if that was the case, anyone in boxing would do the same...
