Having said that, if Floyd doesn't fight Canelo next would you consider that another duck in his career. You can write a whole book why Mayweather "can" or "could" beat Canelo, but it doesnt matter if he doesnt get inside the ring with him. Same thing with Pacman, Margarito (2008), Sergio, etc....
I also think Mayweather fighting Canelo next makes the most sense both financially and career wise... but if he goes with Amir Khan next
See, lol. Therein lies the problem. Its easy to say he is ducking if he doesnt fight him but truth is....it really isnt a true duck.
Let me preface by saying, I want to see Floyd fight a true threat just as much as the next man. I may not agree that Canelo is that threat but thats my personal opinion.
Here is why you cant really corner Floyd with the duck statements. The guys in the Barbershop or at the water cooler :udontknow:
Its not a duck if he can make the same amount or more fighting another opponent. If Floyd made $32 guaranteed for Ghost....I dont doubt he can be matched with someone else and make the same amount as he would for Canelo. What you have to consider is...Floyd is gonna get the same amount or more regardless but because Canelo has certain things going for him he will demand more than what Guerrero got and that cuts into Floyd's money. Hence why I say Floyd can still make more fighting a guy at the level of Ghost who can take a small portion and be happy with that share.
The moment Floyd signed to fight Baldomir for $8 mil, all the legitimacy of the claims that he was ducking Margarito went out the window. He got $1 more to fight the TRUE LINEAL WW champ.
So if you take these things into account:
Canelo is not the lineal champion at JMW even though he is the Ring Magazine champ.
Floyd makes Canelo more money for the fight but not necessarily the other way around.
Canelo would outweigh Floyd by 20lbs come fight time because he is more of a 154lber/160lber while Floyd only fought there against fighters his size.
You cant truly call it a duck or at least Floyd will always have legitimate arguments against.
I think that by signing that deal....Floyd will not be able to avoid Canelo unless Canelo loses. It may not be his next fight but it will be his 3rd at the latest.
I am critical of Floyd. Its a duck if they never fight without good enough reasons. We just havent seen any situation like that with Floyd. Especially not the fighters you named.
Floyd didnt duck Pac because Pac was playing around with the OSTD. Had Pac said I agree to the terms...then no way does Floyd have an out but that didnt happen. I explained Margarito above. Sergio? You cant duck a fighter who fights two weight classes higher than where you are champion. Floyd is not the champion at 154. If you use that logic then how can Floyd duck Canelo but Canelo not duck Serge?
Two things to remember... Floyd is the LINEAL and TRUE welterweight champion. Not Manny. Not JMM. So technically, its not a duck unless he vacates against the next available contender to the title he holds in his division. The WBA has not cleared up their stance on who is their champion at 154 and who is the
#1 contender. Even if Floyd says he doesnt want to fight at 154 its not a duck because he is the welterweight champion. He never committed to being a junior middleweight.
I truly believe Garcia is next followed by Canelo next May.
well he still didn't fight Pacquiáo
and the crazy thing is, all these fighters are fighting a past-his-prime Mayweather and he is still dominating. 
, entertaining undercard and the main even was a display of amazing boxing.
especially if you can watch that shyt for free
