Who has Manny ever dodged?

I can tell you who Floyd has:

Ricky Hatton at 140 - Floyd stopped at the weight and fought Gatti, Brussles, and Corley....Corley almost sparked him so he decided not to fight hatton maybe:confused:

Margarito and Cotto at 147 - When Floyd moved up to 147 he fought Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir, and Hatton....ha....Thats the best you can do at 147?

I am not saying these guys beat Floyd but he should have fought them when people at least thought they posed a threat........

If you look at the 10 fights Floyd fought above 140 the only real threats were De La Hoya and Mosley, and Floyd fought scared vs ODLH.

If you look at Mannys 4 fights above 140 he took on dangerous opponents in ODLH (manny at least chose to fight), Hatton (at 140), Cotto and Clottey.

According to floyd he fights for money not legacy so why do they even care what award he gets or doesn't get...

But Hatton was a former world Champ at Welterweight so he was enough of a threat at 147lbs to win a title also Mayweather would have done the same with Hatton at 140lbs i think people do get blinded by Pacquiao's man of the people thing and he only jumped on De La Hoya because Freddie Roach spotted the I.V marks on his arm where they had been trying to rehydrate him had De La Hoya been fully Hydrated Manny wouldn't have been so aggressive but this is only my opinion

@Tysonbruno

Hatton was not really a threat @ 147, actually he(Hatton) fighting at Collazo exposed him on that fight he's no good at that particular weight tbh.

It could be true regarding IV marks.. I guess fighting DLH was not Pacquiao scope he's too big Pac also he came from fresh win from LW(135) with D.Diaz no one expect to fight straight with ODLH @ 147, even on DLH part on Pacquiao was out scope came from fight Stevie Forbes and waiting for the part II of DLH vs. Mayweather, till Floyd retires. I didn't see Pac calling DLH on that time still we know ODLH was best on that time @ 154.

Hatton could be a threat @ 140 (pre Castillo) for Mayweather even the 2000-02 version of Kostya Tsyzu... I dont say May "Jr" can't win this ... still i could consider that will be a threat for him.... still he choose to fight Gatti (Rip) who was on that time was a stripped champ.... the belt came from an injured/semi retired Tsyzu.
