    Pacquiao, resigned with lame top rank who has no competition there for him. If he had opted to be a free agent he could of faced Lucas, Danny, chino, khan, porter, lara, angulo, canelo & possibly floyd.


    It's funny *******s don't mention that gb/haymon have all the big names at 140-147 in a hot division right now and pac completely managed to avoid it.

    Sneaky move by pac.

    No, Gus Lesnevich is the greatest ducker.

    As LHW Champion he refused matches agianst leading contenders Ken Overlin, Ezzard Charles, Lloyd Marshall, Oakland Billy Smith, Leonard Morrow, Archie Moore, and Joey Maxim in favor of making multiple defenses lower rated fighters Tami Mauriello, Feddie Mills, and Billy Fox.

    He fought Jimmy Bivins in a non-title match, was soundly whipped and his manager went on record saying, he will never defend the belt against Bivins as a result. As bad a duck as it gets.

    Gus is the standard of ducking. 5 successful defenses against Mauriellox2, Mills, and Billy Fox x2. History continues to remember the contenders of the era as being superior fighters and all time greats while he is largely forgotten despite enjoying a 9 year reign as Champion.

    After losing the belt and desperate, he was badly beaten by the men he worked so hard to bury in Maxim and Charles at the end of his career.

    Every fighter, whether it be George Foreman or Yuri Foreman (and all in between, past & present) has at one time or another "ducked" an opponent.

    Ducking an opponent is not neccasarily meaning Boxer A refused to fight Boxer B, but maybe Boxer A is in negotiations with another Boxer for a future fight.

    ROFLMAO!!! You really make me laugh Ellerbee. Who in the world has pantie waisted powder puff punching cowardly Floyd Joy Sinclair Mayweather jr ever destroyed????/ He couldn't even KO Victor Ortiz when he cold ****ed him :rofl
    Maidana , despite all the bull**** Floyd insisted on, beat him. with pillows on his hands.
    The day Floyd fights a worthy opponent, on a level playing field & legitimately beats him maybe you'd be credible . But I have NEVER yet seen that happen & never will aren't you:oops: ????

    Cj stop the nonsense. Arum refused floyd certain guarantees including an oscar fight. So floyd bought the racist lying tax dodging skunt out. Then launched himself to record paydays!!

    Mayweather turned down 8 Million payday, opts out of contract with Arum:

    http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2420382

    Mayweather fights Baldomir, earns 8 Million

    http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/columns/story?id=2645588


    So how did he lose $$$...???

    Agree seems most ignore Floyd said he would fight Margarito but wanted more money for Hatton and Cotto fights that Arum wasn't willing to offer, he also wanted the Oscar fight in which Arum refused to make.

    So he earns the same money fighting Carlos for the Ring Title and then makes a career high pay day fighting Oscar that he wouldn't get under Toprank.
