    The most ducked fighter in boxing :rofl:rofl:rofl

    The most ducked man retired briefly to make sure he would not have to deal with Margarito or Williams....in their prime. :deal

    I wouldn't say that it is a joke. His record looks great. The problem is not there. He knows when to dd those big names to his record to make it look good. Once they are shot, they get a shot;)

    HATTON WAS 43-0 when he fought mayweather
    CANELO WAS 42-0 and he turned pro when he was 15......... how the hell was he not ready for Floyd? canelo will be the greatest name on Floyd's resume once his career is over. I can already tell by how his career is going and he's only 24. why are you reaching and searching for things to take away credit from Floyd? so stupid:roll:
    Floyd was injured and was switching to southpaw for most of the first JLC fight

    You're one horrible bitter troll and probably weren't even watching boxing back then just repeating things you hear other trolls like yourself say.

    A joke too bad boxing historians don't agree with you hater. He was ranked by The Ring as the 12th best boxer since WW2. and this was before his fight with #48 and BTW he's still active.:hi:

    What did you guys expect? Floyd has never fought a quality slick boxer.

    He was indeed ducked in his prime dummy. But you wouldn't know that because you weren't watching boxing back then. He was considered high risk low reward to guys like Oscar, Mosley and others back then. Only when he became a cash cow and the face of the sport did guys line up and want to fight him. Refute my post with real facts or don't bother responding back with bull**** troll.:hi:

    Are you suggesting Oscar or Shane actively ducked Floyd "back then"?
    :huh

    The only time I remember either of those fights being plausible, was around 1999 (give or take) when Floyd was the 130 pound champion and Shane was the 135 pound champion. But Shane was angling for the cash cow, who at the time was De La Hoya - a fight he landed and won.

    They didn't want to face PBF back then. He was too high risk too low reward they knew how good he was. Prince Nas ducked him as well and so did Frietas.

    I'm still not following the sense in what you're saying.

    The closest Floyd and Shane ever were to being in the same weight class was when Shane was the lightweight champion and Floyd was the junior light weight champion. At that time, DLH was already a welter. Shane was gunning for the DLH fight at welterweight.

    My point - was Floyd ever even in the same weight class as Shane or Oscar? And if he wasn't, how can you make the claim that he was "too high risk too low reward"? He wasn't even in the same weight class, and was 3 removed from Oscar.

    They ignored PBF who called them both out many times back when he was at 130 and 135. They were both clearly aware of him but chose not to fight him because he was seen as too high risk too little reward.

    You're pushing the agenda pretty far on this one.

    If Floyd wanted a shot at one of those guys back then, he should have moved up.

    My point stands - and since you haven't addressed it I assume you concede my point - Floyd was never in the same weight class as Shane and especially Oscar "back then".

    Okay Mosley ducked him saying he needed to get his tooth fixed after his fight with Vargas.
