Do you consider it a cowardly act if a fighter avoids another fighter? - Page 2

It entirely depends on the circumstances. A professional fighter fights first and foremost for money. Simply avoiding a good fighter because he won't bring as much money as an easier opponent isn't ducking, it's good business. Now calling out someone, insulting them, jerking them around then avoiding them like the plague to fight endless strings of bums, that's another matter...

Opening up your big fat mouth and not backing it up in the ring.

Sometimes its just part of the business. The longer you talk the fight up the better the jackpot.

What do you guys think of what Juanma Lopez or Mayweathers situations are? Are they completely two different situations or do you think one or both of them are avoiding certain fighters?

To some extent yes. At least it's clear that the legacy will suffer.

I know spelling was never your strong point Brian, but are you trying to say thank you (=tag)? Because it's really 'Tak'.

BTW I think you should stay retired old man.
