Have Mexican Fighters ever ducked oppoenents!?

Where should i start?? Barrera opted out of a Pacman rematch, went on a 4yr win streak pretending like he never got embarassed. He never once mentioned rematch with Pacman until he became a cash cow and the mandatory challenger for his belt

Barrera and Morales both ducked Marquez in their prime

Marquez ducked Joan Guzman who was his proposed title defense while Pacman was still in the legal dispute between Top rank and gbp. Going as far as telling his promoter "hell no we want rocky juarez"

actually thats not true

when Barrera was with Forum Boxing there were talks with JMM about a potential matchup but they never went to fruition.

now I know this firsthand as I was there when the question was asked. When the Pacquiao-Morales I fight was announced they had their press conference at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Fernando Beltran was talking amongst the media and the question was asked about a potential matchup with JMM. Beltran laughed and said that they indeed offered JMM the fight first, his highest payday, but they refused it. They then went to Pacquiao's people who quickly accepted the offer.

Calzaghe hasn't ducked anyone so let's just forget that idea from the off.

Enzo Calzaghe "Pavlik has done nothing to earn a shot at Joe. We feel that Roy Jones jr. will be a much tougher test for him"

He's obviously trying to legitimise the fight with Jones. Whether it is true or not is irrelevant, anyone prepared to entertain the notion that Calzaghe is scared of Pavlik needs their head checked.

I wouldn't say scared of Pavlik per se. But much like Mayweather more a case of scared of the possibility of losing that 0 in the loss column. So he goes and fights someone he is alot more sure of himself against.

People said the same thing about Lacy and Kessler. The fight is not feasible because of weight issues, Calzaghe has nothing left to prove anyway so who can blame him for wanting to make as much money as possible.

watch this guys......HEY VIVA!! why didn't chavez rematch frankie Randell after the controversial 2nd fight? why did chavez never choose to give pernell a rematch in the states? why didnt chavez fight tito? why did margarito turn down a paul wiliams rematch and fight kermit for less money? why did margarito back out of the first fight with cotto for less money? you seriously need to get your ass kicked by a white boy, a black guy, and an asain and for good sakes a canadian.

Damn you're good!
