I think he will try his best to and his comments after his last fight showed that....he was already giving himself an out...would've been the same for miranda had he won...his problem is there is really no easy fights out there he gonna have to face pavlik, kessler, calzaghe or someone that is a threat..if he drags up another little guy the boxing world will go crazy !! I don't think he's scared i think he lost confidence after not knocking out his last couple of opponets..
