Does Floyd have it easy, or does he makes it LOOK that way?

    That would be the equivalent of you asking Floyd to take on all challenges in his 4th and 5th weight divisions. (And you seem to forget Mayweather has 4 of the 8 majors belts at 147 and 154 and is recognized as the champion in BOTH divisions)

    So I'm asking you, did the great SRL do the same thing? Or are you only applying this standard to Mayweather? Because I see very selective fights from SRL after he moved up in weight. Not "taking on all comers."

    Floyd fights the fighters people say he's scared of and you still call him a ducker??? He's about to fight Pac, you all said he was scared of Canelo he fought him, same with Mosley, and Cotto. And please don't say Margarito. No one was calling for that fight until Floyd left Arum and Arum would not let him take the fight without having options on Floyd.

    Also remember that you can accuse any fighter of ducking simply because it's impossible to fight everyone. Example Ali ducked the Foreman rematch, Robinson duck that Burley dude, Leonard ducked Pryor etc...see how stupid that sounds? In 10 years the stuff about Floyd ducking will sound just as dumb.

    None of them anywhere near their best, just old blown-up big names.

    Corrales and Castillo and Canelo are the closest to their best in their prime, and those are three or four terrific 'wins' (clearly lost to Castillo in one).

    Hatton and Cotto were the top two at 140 in '05 and at their best then... Paul Williams and Margarito were the threats at 147, not Carlos Baldomir. And Amir Khan was the threat of recent years, not Ortiz or Maidana.
