to stay unbeaten?
The true coward is an average, sloppy southpaw with no defense and brutal knockout losses to Thailand cab drivers who then turn to steroids for an advantage, go on a streak of wins against weight drained opponents, then call yourself an all time great.
This has been taken out of context, he was quoting what others were saying about him being a coward countering oh yea- well then I'm a rich scared coward and ya all know that I aint scared on an even playing field.
There's another interview where Mayweather says he is glad his team picks easy fights.
The purpose of dodging is to stay on top. Mayweather doesn't sell because his style amuses the masses, he sells because of his mouth + his 0.
With that said; Mayweather has a point in this interview.
Pacman was struggling against midgets, then BAM he walks through Oscar, Cotto, Mosley, Margarito, & Hatton.
Floyd asks for blood tests, and first Pacman is scared of needles, then it's against his religion, and then he agrees to blood tests but he looses 2 fights in a row, 1 via ko against a guy he previously beat twice.
I guess that while your body cleans itself from PEDs, the superhuman strength also leaves.
Almost as bad as dodging drug tests...
