who was/is the biggest ducker in boxing?

I'll say Riddick Bowe, because everyone else can have excuses made for them, but... Riddick's ducking of Lennox Lewis can't be called anything other than ducking. Garbage man Riddick? Get fucking real. Yes. Riddick Bowe did the most blatant duck I can remember. And honestly there ain't many real ducks in boxing.

There hasn't been a fighter who ducked a fighter in years. Sven Ottke not fighting Calzaghe came close, but he didn't duck him. You guys make up this stuff because you are young and not in the know of the sport. Fighters don't duck each other. Money is the sole reason a fight is or isn't made. You may be right a right about Ottke - Calzaghe. But the reason that Vitali - Lewis II wasn't made weren't because of lack of money.

Get fucking real. riddick was a very good fighter but he was dumb for not taking lewis on. lewis at the time was beatable still. he wasn't polished yet. lennox must've really got in his head in the amateurs.

where's the coallition? retired. though hardly undefeated........

so far floyd is in the lead

the biggest ducker of all time was Sven Ottke. The biggest recently is Floyd Mayweather

They turned down more money for less. Claro, señor? As you said: whatever (the fucking) reason they ran to Indonesia, it WASN'T for the money. THAT was my point, originally made against someone's assertion that only money determined whether fights got cancelled or not; and which you responded to. I apologize for misunderstanding you. h. Money usually is the biggest reason though, negotiations not going favorably for someone is almost always the reason, networks, management, managers, trainers can easily get in the way as to why a fight doesnt get made, and not to mention, sanctioning bodies.

antonio margarito. cintron , williams , clottey , santos , johnson , lewis......and now cotto? who the hell were this guys? where they even ever ranked at 147?

The 750k vs. Pac was still as good as if on the fucking table, when Marquez' "team" opted for a 30k fight instead, so don't tell me it was a choice determined by the payoff. Morales didn't shy away, and the asskicker got a W against Pac, plus a decent wad of cash in the process. h. What does that have to do with what i just told you? Marquez and his team said they were promised 1 million, they wouldnt take the fight unless it was 1million, not 750k, for whatever reason, they fought John in indonesia, thats what happened.

Floyds A Blown Up Super Featherweight Dumbass! Hatton Had Like 7 Or 8 Pounds On Floyd Come Fight Night...... Blown Super Featherweight my ass. He clearly ducked the best WW had to offer, and hurt his legacy in the process.

You and Deeval are totally clueless about the sport lol. Boof is a homosexual.

Oh, money is the sole reason? Is that why Marquez fought Chris John in Indonesia for $30,000, instead of facing Pacquiao for $750,000? Come on.... :wave: He did that under the advise of nacho beristain and its been proven that it was a terrible move, beristain is also his manager. and alot of it had to do with *bingo MONEY. Marquez and his team said they were promised a million, they didint get it, so they held off.

The 0's on floyds record are proof he ducked people. /corrected

Nice article, but the guy should have never mentioned Cintrón. yeah I agree, Cintron should not be on that list. but fight fans always see certain matchups differently so I can let it slide.

If you look at it objectively, unfortunately alot of really good thai/japanese fighters are unable to secure fights overseas and their competition is usually forced to give into their negotiations and fight them in japan. Think about Wongjongkam, basically he went almost his whole career fighting ONLY in japan and in thailand, including fighting daisuke naito again after knocking him out in 30 seconds, there were alot of decent fights to be made (arce/darchinyan) and they never happened. Sven Ottke is another one of these types, practically never leaving germany.

If there's a girl in the neighborhood that everyone is calling a "whore", chances are she definitely is a whore. When more than half of the entire boxing world is calling Floyd a "ducker", there must be some validity to it. True, everyone knows it but Floyd fans are too shallow minded to beleive that as great a boxer as he was there were people who he ducked. Lots of people. especialy at welter

according to google it's Floyd by UD http://www.google.com/ type in 'biggest boxing ducker of all time' hit > I'm feeling lucky = http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/5631/floyd-you-are-best-era-but/ edit: its hard to argue against google thread closed Nice article, but the guy should have never mentioned Cintrón.
