By John Kelvin: One of the most consistent accusations which is thrown at Floyd Mayweather Jr. by some media and fans is that he is scared or ducking certain fighters. For years Mayweather was called a coward because it was perceived by members of the media (the writers who only cover big fights and ignore everything else) that he was avoiding a fight with Manny Pacquiao.
When Mayweather clearly defeated Pacquiao last May in Las Vegas, Nevada, there was a mass outcry and anger about what happened. Anyone who knows or follows boxing knew that Mayweather was going to win decisively. The majority of pro boxers and analysts picked Mayweather to win a decision.
