    I can't name a single fighter he's "avoided".

    inb4 Cotto/Margs/Pac - they've all been debunked as floyd and top rank will never do business together. and none of them had a shot in their respective primes.

    Paul Williams is the only "acceptable" duck but he wasn't marketable at all.

    Oscar retired when he was 35. Oscar fought four times in four years after his comeback. Floyd has fought four times in the last five years.

    Entire year difference in inactivity.

    What does the term "FLOORED" mean to you exactly?

    Because all of Floyd's wins are over undefeated superstar atgs or serious contenders, right? Paul was no joke up to his unfortunate retirement and the circumstanxces surrounding such. Despite being ruined post Sergio Martinez, I still considered him a legit opponent; especially at 147 and 154. I could go on, but I will leave it at just Paul.

    For the OP: I would say no, respective to the quality of opposition and amount of hurdles faced. By the latter, I refer to things such as weight jumping and conquering a significant array of stylistic challenges. My two pennies, sir.

    I was going to be serious and rattle off Jack Dempsey, Ray Leonard, and more and be dead serious about it...

    Nevermind though, this thread's a joke.

    Just look at it this way...he is just giving his opponent a better chance of beating him due to inactivity..which is what the haters really want when they complain about him ducking and inactive... Even though he has two fights less than Oscar.

    Fighters have already been named who were more inactive, and you would think that would be the end of it since it flat out answers the question but then we get follow on statements like "but their competition was stiffer"

    Which leads me to believe this thread has a different agenda than what the TS claims. It is what is is though. Watch this..

    Floyd is the face of boxing today. When you think of boxing you think of Floyd mayweather jr. Ok go. This should get to ten pages now
