I only needed to read the first two sentences of your post. Where's Floyd gonna go? The guy ducks everybody. The greatest fighters fight the greatest fighters. Fighting Mosley is the first time Floyd is putting his nuts on the chopping block. The only reason he agreed to fight Mosley is because he had no choice! Who was he gonna fight? Malinaggi? Baby Bull? Hattons brother? Marquez had to gain 17 lbs! Mayweather didn't even disclose his weight come fight night. Before that fight he was sitting on the shelf. The difference here is? If Manny looses he'll retire and we'll never here from him again. Mayweather looses once? He's gonna keep fighting and keep loosing. Just like Roy Jones.
Mayweather tried. He's not Derek Jeter. He's not Tiger Woods. He's not Jordan. Last time I saw. Nike signed Manny.
Who has Mayweather ducked? Mayweather fought Oscar, when Oscar was not too far off his prime and not weight drained -- you see, Pac always has an edge in his fights, he fights weight drained opponents or opponents over the hill. Roach always finds a strong advantage over Pac's opponents. He even admitted to the media before the Oscar fight that Oscar couldnt pull the trigger anymore and can't make that weight successfully. He was right, and even though people though that Oscar would win, which I didn't, it was an easy, calculated and safe fight for pac. Roach has a very keen eye for this. He knows Mayweather will beat Pac, and there's no way Pac is going into that fight clean hence the walk away from a 30 million dollar tablespoon of blood.
Mayweathers fought Judah, Hatton, who he softened up for Pac, Castillo, Marquez, Baldomir, and the list goes on. Pac has chosen what should be an easy opponent tomorrow night, Mayweather could have fought any of those you listed and would have been no different but he's taking on a legit challenge. I don't see your point. When the dust settles, Floyd will be in the drivers seat.
