Mayweather chickened out???

Recently, Mayweather recorded a videotape stating that he will take a year or two off boxing to concentrate on his boxing gym.

Could this mean that Mayweather chickened out against the pound-for-pound boxing king Manny Pacquiao? That's a possibility and he might just be making an excuse to avoid that great fight everyone has been waiting, and the proving grounds of who really is the best pound-for-pound boxer of the world.

Mayweather - Pacquiao fight has been a talked ever since Pacquiao beat Miguel Cotto in the Dallas Stadium. Since then, the talks has been so intensive and during the first result, Mayweather end up wanting Pacquiao to undergo Olympic style drug testing in which the pound-for-pound king did not accept because of the reason that the process might affect his performance during the fight. Hence, the fight did not push through, instead, Pacquiao fought Ghanian Joshua Clottey wherein Pacquiao dominated the fight and destroyed the ultimate defense of Clottey. And in the other end, Mayweather fought Shane Mosley. Mayweather won the fight via unanimous decision.

After the Pacquiao - Clottey bout, the Mayweather - Pacquiao ultimate fight floats again. The team Pacquiao agreed to give what Mayweather is requiring but now Mayweather is telling that he wants to retire for a while in boxing.

Now, big names are emerging in line to fight Manny Pacquiao which includes Antonio Margarito, Juan Manuel Marquez and the to-be-negotiated rematch of Miguel Cotto and Pacquiao. "-the weight is too heavy-" according to one of the Team Pacquiao members when asked if they would also consider Yuri Foreman in the 154lbs. division. As for Mayweather, there is nothing waiting for him if he keeps on evading the megafight everyone wants to see. "it will not happen because of mayweather" - as one boxing commentator stated during the match of Yuri Foreman and Miguel Cotto.

Lame excuses are just for losers.
