    When he was explaining his excuses about not fighting other fighters and all we heard was quack quack quack.

    It is funny that just a while ago before the maidana fights, people were so upset if mayweather would have picked khan, now mayweather is ducking him lol. Man this **** is funny as hell.

    When pac ducked the ped test.

    Its a insult fabricated by pactrolls to try and cover up for pac's rejection of ped test.

    He has been ducking Pac for years, he is going wait till Pac is shot and then fight him. As for Khan not being a big enough name to fight, that hasn't stopped him fighting lesser fighters. I reckon he beats both, but he isn't willing to take the risk.

    It was started by Bob Arum who was upset when Floyd left Top Rank.

    It started when Margarito offered him out to his face.

    He got that rep when he retired after margarito almost murdered cotto.
    & him calling himself a rich coward doesn't do anything to enhance his legacy.

    When he fought Henry Brussles instead of a better opponent.

    When he fought Judah after he lost to Baldimor instead of Margarito.

    When he fought Baldomir instead of much better fighters.

    When he retired in 2008 because there were too many threats around.

    The list goes on and on.

    Who would have been a better opponent at the time than Brussles?

    What's wrong with him fighting Judah? Judah turned out to be a MUCH tougher fight than Margarito would have been.

    Yeah, maybe he could have fought better fighters, but Baldomir was the lineal champion at the time.

    Who else did he duck? Kostya Tsyu? Tszyu was close to retirement in 2004.

    Because in your little fantasy world, Mayweather knocked Margarito out, right? Oh please, he arguably lost to Maidana, a pressure fighter like Margarito.

    Floyd-Margarito could have happened in 2006. Floyd fought Maidana in 2014. The Floyd that fought Maidana was shot.

    Margarito arguably had even less skill than Maidana.

    Basically the second he left Top Rank he started being labeled as a ducker, the crazy thing is the guys who he's said to have ducked weren't considered legit fights until he didn't fight them.
