Biggest coward in recent times?

Which fighter do you consider the biggest coward of modern times? Canelo, with his "the fight needs to marinate", "i'm not a middleweight", and wide list of excuses to not fight Golovkin, all while preferring to fight small guys? Golovkin, who refused to move up and fight Ward, as he simply saw it as too big of a risk? Klitschko, for feeling so unnerved during "The Gloves Are Off" with Fury that he claimed to have let Fury win their first fight on purpose? Thurman, for refusing to fight Spence even if it means that he would get a Mayweather fight for it? Kovalev and Stevenson, for obviously ducking each other over and over again? Lomachenko for first refusing to fight Walters because he was a little bit overweight and then later not offering him a respectable amount of money to make the fight happen? Frampton for refusing to fight Rigondeaux, despite the fact that such a win would force the boxing world into accepting him as a P4P fighter? Who do you consider the biggest coward in recent times? And why?

I have to go with Canelo, as I have NEVER in 50 yrs seen a Mexican boxer run from ANY fight. And to stand in the ring in front of millions of viewers and to say "Mexicans don't ***k around" and then dump the belt days later is humiliating to Mexican boxing fans. I agree. Mexico should be ashamed to produce such a coward.

I'm not a Canelo fan, but I really want to believe that it's not his choice to not fight Golovkin until next year. I have to think its all Oscar What we saw in the ring after the Khan KO were Canelo's true feelings, then Oscar took over and said were gonna milk the cow for as long as possible

#1 Boxing ducker is Canelo. No questions asked. No frills just plain ducker. This guy talked all the smack only to duck. 100 excuses, hides behind his promoter, and is a fraud. Ducknelo should just retire join Margacheto in tijuana as a taco vendor. :hail::hail::hail:

The opponents Ward has been fighting in the last 5 years are better than the opponents through Golovkin's entire career, bro... That's true everybody forgot who dominated the Super Six tournament

The biggest coward is you for calling all these brave champions who fight for a living cowards. Dude. These guys are paid warriors. You should deserve your living. If people knew who Golovkin would fight in the future, for example, they would have never brought the hype.

Ward is moving up in weight to fight Kovalev and he tried to make Golovkin fight him, but Golovkin refused. Ward is hunting Golovkin and Kovalev, the two guys that everyone are blabbering about all the time. You can't call him a coward. I would never call any boxer a coward, because I know how much guts it takes to get into a ring and fight. But it has to be said, if GGG had signed a contract last year, to fight Ward at 168 THIS YEAR - which is what Ward wanted him to do - then he would still be waiting for it to happen. And he would be waiting in vain, as Ward has recently revealed that he can't make 168 any more.

I'm not a hater. I actually like Danny. I hate the fact that since he beat Matthyse which was impressive to me, hasn't fought anyone since that fight and now he's talking about fighting trash a*s Berto. Cmon son it's time for him to be fighting the likes of Keith Thurman or Shaun Porter. Not to mention he already ducked Pac for the biggest purse of his career. Its clear either he or Angel wants him to take the Floyd path of least resistance route. This is the reason Floyd was bad for boxing because he now has fighters wanting to go that route.

Ward is boxings number 1 coward in my opinion for deliberately fighting people so obviously below his level for 5 years, demanding his fights are in oakland, and has a cowardly way of fighting, with his constant fouls and negative tactics. The opponents Ward has been fighting in the last 5 years are better than the opponents through Golovkin's entire career, bro...

andre ward. deontay wilder and canelo alvarez are close runners up. Ward is moving up in weight to fight Kovalev and he tried to make Golovkin fight him, but Golovkin refused. Ward is hunting Golovkin and Kovalev, the two guys that everyone are blabbering about all the time. You can't call him a coward. Deontay Wilder was travelling to Russia to fight Povetkin. It's not his fault that Povetkin thought drugs would be neccessary to win. However, the argument of Wilder being a coward can be made, based on the fact that he fights so many weak opponents. Povetkin would have been only the second time he has defeated a good opponent. Canelo is a massive coward, though, we agree on that.
