    Standard procedure for all of them, I try and look at what happened in the ring and not what might have happened based on bias, Im a 1/2 full kinda guy, haters are always 1/2 empty, and why fights weren't made was not always Floyds fault it takes two to tango and many times it was the other guy not signing the contract.

      Not really Floyd was backing out of fights to duck. That was obvious

        Mayweather and Canelo weren't prime at 154 so that's more of a P4P prime fantasy fight.

        I'd pick De La Hoya and Mosley over Mayweather prime for prime at 147.

        Pac and Cotto still lose but they'd both be more tense and exciting fights. Especially prime Mayweather-Cotto at 147.

          Yeh, I'm sure he didn't take rematches as he wasn't confident he could outpoint them, floyd knew it was luck of draw as to what pleased judges eyes, he was just fortunate judges liked him more against dlh and pac and Castillo and maidana.
          Everyone was after the floyd payday, so I can't imagine anyone ducking floyd, floyd could fight anyone if he wanted, be it spence, thurman, bradley, brook, bud etc

            History has taught us when guys want to make fights they happen with not too much issue

              PBF was lightning quick in his younger weight classes!

                Your obvious is not everybody's obvious, your perception of duck is guided by your bias its not guided by accurate checking, 5 people can see the same situation and you have 5 different versions of what happened, the rarest commodity on this planet today is Truth.

                    I am not making this stuff up by a long shot.

                    You can be in denial, but the knock on Floyd's shortcomings are shared worldwide

                    He welched on the rematch with de la hoya when he "retired" long enough for the contract to expire. That is a clear duck.

                      I didn't say you were making things up, I said you were biased, you have an agenda that funnels available information into your personal worldview, and you believe what you want to believe effectively writing your own story, compounding that bias, its not critical thinking behind it, its your hate, and there is the core of the debate.
