    Hittable but not so easy to hurt Miguel Cotto could not hurt him enough to slow him down much.

    only pac****s think Floyd is a ducker, the rest know bob, roach, and pac are the reason the fight didnt happen in 09. ****roach has even admitted that it was their fault.

    He hasn't duck anyone ,he just made the correct business decision to be in the place he's in right now....remember who's the highest paid athlete right now. Lots of fighters are retiring with less than 10 grand in the bank.

    9/11 very well could have been an inside move and who know if we really landed on the moon.. Why hasn't anyone ever went back?

    Regardless, when people imagine Floyd losing, they describe a fight in which Floyd doesn't fight like he's always fought.. They either assume Floyd would stand still the whole fight, run without punching the whole fight, stand in the corner and get beat, duck and dodge throwing 4 punches a round because he can't...ect They over exaggerate his opponents strengths while ignoring Floyd's almost completely...

    So why does Tyson say it and practically every boxing ****ysis? The only people that don't think Floyd is a duck are his fans and his team.

    Yeah it's cool you believe without a shadow of a doubt what the government says.. Great.. Care to talk about the boxing part of my post since this a boxing forum and not a conspiracy forum?

    What do you think Floyd would do positive against Margarito? Or you think from opening bell he'll just get beat up?

    He promised Toni he'd fight him

    He promised he fight the winner of serg Williams 2 (after years of ducking Williams)

    Khan win the official poll and he still ducked him

    Says khan can't draw but then fights khans son

    6 years and counting for the pacquiao duck

    Leonard ducked Hagler from 82 to 87 and that was with a dodgy eye

    He's beaten Leonard's ducking ability

    Floyd's best win is corrales

    Think about that considering the all time greats that had their primes during Floyd's prime

    Mosley
    Dlh
    Cotto
    Margarito
    Pacquiao
    Serg
    Paul Williams

    All ducked in their primes when Floyd could have made the fights

    RJJ shoukd have been a lock as the single greatest of the all had he fought real opposition and then won the hw title

    If Floyd didn't duck he would have been in the equation

    Did you read what the question was before going on your "who Floyd ducked" rant? You're ignoring facts that has been talked about plenty of times here.. If Floyd doesn't fight a guy, it doesn't automatically count as a "duck" for Floyd...

    I love the fans that say Mosley and Oscar were ducking Floyd back then, just because Floyd would say in post-fight interviews "someday I'd like to beat the best and face Mosley and Oscar" meanwhile they were way too big for Floyd during their actual primes. Floyd would have still never gone near those 2, just as fast as he was and so explosive, no way he got out of those fights without getting caught.

    This view is very short sighted. Floyd has ducked several risky fights way before Manny Pacquiao but it is the most blatant. Ever heard of Winky, Margarito, Prime Cotto at WW, and Martinez? He also has chance to fight the likes of Tszyu and Williams but decided to pick different opponents.

    As soon as he hits the #1 P4P spot. It's a trend among fans that as soon as any fighter hits #1 he's automatically ducking a long list of irrelevant fighters.
