Anyone who says Floyd ducked PAc is a fool, and should never be respected when it comes to talking boxing. Anyone who says Floyd ducked any of Arums fighters should be flogged. Mathematically, it does not make sense to utter such nonsense, and fan wise, it just reads as hate.
If Mayweather had stuck with Bob Arum then Pac vs Floyd will definitely happen. That's keeping the MONEY/Manny in the house.
Much better legacy and richer. He would have Margarito, Cotto and Clottey under his belt and likely Pac fight instead of Baldomir, ODLH, Hatton and JMM. Mosley would be in doubt as beating the Top Rank WW means there there is no need to fight Mosley for money or legacy. Just a fight with Pac would earn him more money than his last 4 fights combined.
He would not be as rich, he would not be so in control as he is today, but he would have fought the best and probably beat them so his legacy would have been much greater, either way I think he still made the right choice.
Antonio Margarito was never good enough to beat Floyd. AM was Arum's stooge to smear Floyd, and Shane showed us that AM can't fight or take it to the body...
He would still lose tie with Top Rank anyway, Floyd won't agree with Arum pitting him against real opponents.
