Alvarez was fresh and a pretty big unknown and had a very significant size advantage so nothing about that fight was safe. Yes everyone knew Floyd was the much better boxer but he picked a seriously dangerous fighter to go up against. Doesn't matter what anyone says that was a legit balls out choice for an opponent. I don't give a shit about making him come down in weight either because he agreed to it. You can't say yes then use it as an excuse after the fact.
Same with Marquez. He wasn't nearly big enough for that fight and allowed Floyd to weigh even more then they agreed on right before the fight. It's not an excuse if you agree to it for some extra money.
Pac fight should have happened a long time ago but Floyd isn't the one afraid of needles.
I do believe 100% that Mosley was avoided until he was barely a shell of his former self. I would have loved to see that fight back in the day. Would have been epic in my opinion.
Khan dodges and ducks everyone and has for quite awhile now. Difference is he's not protecting his 0 he's protecting his glass chin in the hopes he can get a payday against the guy he just insulted for no reason. Acting like he has fought the better opposition... just no.
If anyone avoided Mosley/Mayweather before it happened after Margarito/Mosley, it was Mosley, not Mayweather. I think it's a bit strong to claim that Mosley ducked Mayweather at any point, but it's more or less impossible to claim that Mayweather was avoiding him at any point before then (other than him playing hard to get with Mosley for a month or two before they signed to fight).
