Who are some fighters that have ducked other fighters for shear fear or just fear of losing.
I can think of these guys...
Mayweather ducking Margarito ( the obvious one )
Delahoya avoiding Winky Wright his whole career
Arce ducking Darinchiyan ( i like Arce, i'm being non biased )
Tyson paying Lewis money not to fight him.
Mosely jumping from 135 to 147 to avoid PBF and Tszyu
Jones clearly ducking Darius and other british fighters
who are the others ?
Mosley did not go to 147 to duck Mayweather and Tszyu. He fought De La Hoya, Forrest, and Wright. In fact he fought them all twice. Goddamn a man can't win.
Hopkins ducking Jones live on HBO
Hatton ducking Mayweather at 140 after getting offered the fight multiple times
Benn and Eubank ducking James Toney on live tv
Margarito ducking williams until the WBO threatened to strip him if he didnt fight him
Barrera spending the rest of his career trying not to fight Pacquaio again.
Ricky Hatton ducking Junior Witter live on Sky Sports and telling porky pies about asking frank warren to make the fight happen.

The Hatton ducking Witter has to be up there at the top, Its 7 years and counting now..Even more ridiculous are the excuses are getting more lame with each passing day.
Jones ducked him! they were gonna get a dam rematch and Jones said 60-40! B-Hop said 50-50! Now WTF! is wrong with 50-50?!! RJJ who was the nuturally bigger guy fighting at 170s+++ and B-Hop fighting at 160!! Didn't even wan't to fight the smaller guy for some serious money! Thats what u call ducking!
how did jones duck hopkins??? jones beat hopkins already and was the p4p champ and the star of the sport..and i believe jones was going to go down in weight to meet bernard at a catch weight..so if jones is doing all that, why the hell should it be a 50-50 split?? seriously he beat bhop already and is the main attraction and HE (JONES) is moving down in order to fight this man.. shit it had to be atleast 60-40 for jones.. hopkins priced himself out and HE didnt wanna fight..if a guy beat me and if i wanted revenge i would fight the guy at any price and thats real talk
Floyd never ducked Tony Margarito. Margarito just wasn't good enough to fight Floyd. Floyd hasn't ducked anyone.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
cosign
im tired of people overrating margarito like he is some unbeatable, terrorizing, immaculate fighter cuz he isnt
there's a difference between the two.
floyd "ducked" margarito to fight a champ with a more respected belt (WBC, Ring) and to get away from arum.
quitali ducked and ducked until his body couldn't stand the force of his ducking, hence his back and legs giving out from all the weight it supported from him in a ducking position. hasim and his baltimore cronies had an a.p.b. out on quitali. the wbc had to step in and say "nyet! no fight calvin brock, yes fight hasim rahman".
Feel better for that???? :ugh:
The 2 worst of modern times.. were Klitschko ducking Rahman
And Floyd Ducking Margarito...
Both of these guys HAD nothing to fear and Both would have won the fights easily... And for whatever inexplicable reasons.. They Ducked..
if It walks like a Duck.. Looks like a Duck and sounds like a Duck.. Its probable it's a Duck..

When you refuse to fight the Lateral Champ in your divison, whether you think he isn't worth fighting or not, won't make money, aint popular, has no skills...blah, blah, blah....It's called ducking. Be real and admit that.
To be honest, I don't really believe fighters duck each other unless it's
their promoters fault or the fighters come out and say they did ducked him (Ie: Eubank Jones).
I mean Jones-Bernard, both were too stubborn to come to an agreement, but I'm sure they both wanted to fight each other.
Floyd wanted Oscar and just played the waiting game insted of fighting Margarito. Then he fought Baldomir because he was the true champion regradless. By the time then, he also hated Arum.
Not sure on the Viatli thing though....
hatton with witter but there is still time to make the fight.
I still don't belive that. But now that he's back at 140 he should fight him, then if he don't the talk can begin till then he hasn't ducked witter. Great looking sig.

What's wrong is Jones was not only the bigger name, but also WON the first fight. Why should he split the money? Bernard should have just accepted that and made it happen if he was so eager to avenge his loss. Guys have taken the short end of the stick before just because they badly wanted to fight the other guy.
Agree, Hopkins was never serious about getting the rematch, which is also why he stayed at 160 while Jones Jr. was still in his prime at LH.

Floyd doesn't like Arum and there were bigger fights out there.
Oscar not fighting Winky his whole career, WTF?
Tyson paid Lewis, true, but we are talking about a shot fighter that just came out of prison and knew he was never going to be the same. He had to buy some time to get Uncle Sam off his back.
Tszyu lost to Vince, which prevented and Oscar fight. Shane chased after Oscar.
Darius never wanted to come to the States and Jones Jr. wasn't going over there since he was the bigger name, the big stage is in America, and he was ripped out of a Gold Medal.

let's not forget Bowe ducked Lewis
Jones ducked him! they were gonna get a dam rematch and Jones said 60-40! B-Hop said 50-50! Now WTF! is wrong with 50-50?!!

listen boy you saying something that wrong not hopkins said 50-50 it was roy that said it but hopkins wanted 60-40 for his favor it was after he defeated tarver and roy said to him i am ready for 60-40 but this 60% will take the winner what do you say and what you think hopkins said he rejected the offer from roy so he ducked no roy
