    People make it seem like he started of as the cash cow.

    Mosley, Kosta, and Oscar all made more money then him at one point. And they wanted no part of him because he couldnt sell tickets.

    Why do people make it seem like hes been protected his whole career, and "ducked fighters" his whole career. When historically he called people out and no one wanted to fight him because he was high risk low reward?

    He started off as PBF fighting everyone and anyone, and was the underdog in the Corrales fight.

    Why is that once he becomes a draw and can make his own demands he's a ducker?

    not to mention that he even called out Nazim Hamad when he was at his peak, and he didnt want none. he called out casamayor and frietas when they had just came on he scene, but they said nothing of him at the time.

    mayweather even pressed a fight for winky, although they could not agree upon the conditions. i think this ducking thing all started by a arum smear campaign when Mayweather bounced and arum was pissed off. When he was in arums stables he wasnt being paid right and not being marketed right, arum was stuck in hoya land. when hoya left,

    he looked for his next cashcow, to him, mayweather simply was not that... he was looking for the typical latino guy due to their nationality. he now had cotto, and was not going to feed him to mayweather. mayweather leaves arum then all of a sudden he is a ducker... arum creates this nonsense around margo and thats how it was born. arum had no problem making the cotto margo fight, because this was mexico vs puerto rico, and one of them would emerge as a national hero, while the other would still be usable as a draw. but of course mayweathers celebrity was growing and he became big and arum was missing all that money -- but he had got pac now, and made another smear campaign. Arum is wise, if he cant make money directly off of mayweather he can do so indirectly, by attaching all his fighters to mayweather, and create a buzz and make his fighters seem more imposing then they are making up some nonsense that mayweather ducked them, when arum never had any intentions on a fight between them manifesting.

    Mayweather avoids slick fighters until their slick has gone after judah he was like f that gimme some slower simpler fighters that telegraph their punches.

    The rest was history.

    Can I suggest watching canelo vs mathew hatton to put this win in proper perspective.

    It's just really highly convenient for many posters here and fans of boxing. It's a selective ignorance that allows them to cling on to the last remaining vestiges of their imagined utopian beliefs that serve to mitigate the career accomplishments of Floyd and undermine the value of his boxing legacy.


    I'm just telling it like it is, and without compromise. The agenda of those who consciously choose to repress aspects of the truth is already set firmly in stone -- it shall not be derailed even in light of overwhelming contrary evidence.

    young Floyd was great, he ducked no one

    now Mayweather of the last decade, that's one disgraceful cherrypicker

    There is a list of Casamyor, Freitas, Kostya, younger versions of Cotto n Mosley, and Pacquiao who you could say "ducked" Floyd. Maybe a couple more if you stretch.. But boxing politics are very real. The reason why the list is small is because Floyd really did fight a good number of the best fighters at the best times all things considered.

    The fact is that if Mayweather had fought all the guys he had supposedly ducked instead of all the fighters that he actually fought then people would say the exact same thing replaced with different names. Boxers can't win with fans because they have different people they can fight at any given time and no matter who they choose some people will say they should have fought someone else. You can't please everyone.

    one word Top Rank and Bob Arum and showtime/HBO.it's all business.and early on floyd wasn't a draw.hater keep ignoring these thinks.how many fights we have seen,top rank vs GBP?how many fights between showtime vs HBO.floyd ducked nobody never,these ******s/haters keep ignoring these FACT'S. i bet there is some idiot thinkink right now that flyd is ducking khan.because floud said that khan needs to prove himself first.haters turn and twist and start to say floyd wants khan to lose so people don't want to see that,oh sorry i forget khan is already exposed and lose.they find always a reason to hate floyd.floyd beats Martinez haters say martinez is washed up,after that beats GGG,and he is unproven can crusher.floyd fights ward,ward got somesort of personal problems and was too drained to compete at SMW anymore.floyd moves lightheavy fights hopkins,you now the story hopkins is a grandpa.floyd moves to HW and beat klitchko.again washed up and old..

    and people forget always mention that floyd is 36.past his prime and natural LW/JWW at this point of his career.but nothing matters to haters..

    Floyd is also very smart,saying thinks that i am coward etc.. it's only because haters keep hating more and when floyd fights they order PPV.Floyd goes to bank laughing,he trolled the trolls and haters.sadly haters and trolls are so stupid that they don't recognise this.

    keep on hating,floyd keeps saying thank you haters and walk to the bank,showing his money and you are home crying and desperate.

    Whoever hits #1 P4P status almost immediately gets labeled a "ducker". RJJ had his share and so did Leonard.
