Is It Possible To Duck Someone Who Never Calls You Out?

[Scott9945]

The reasoning for Floyd fans is since Ricky Hatton called Money out after he beat Castillo and Floyd told his butt-waxer Ellerbe to "Make the ****ing fight happen" they automatically assume that is the case for every fighter. Pathetic isn't it?

That is all myth anyway. They had been negotiating that fight for months. How else do you think it was made so quickly afterwards? It was strictly a publicity stunt by the two fighters involved.

Of course it was, I was being sarcastic

Margarito called Floyd out to no end. He even crashed one of Floyd's press conferences and asked Floyd to his face "why wont u fight me" What did that get Tony? Banned from all of Floyd's future press conferences! LOL. Calling him out dont work.

In fairness, Cotto always tells everyone that he leaves that **** up to his promoter, Bob Arum, and Arum, who is in charge of the calling out, has continually slagged off on Floyd for not taking a Cotto bout.

I don't know if the transitive property of math applies to calling out in boxing, but...

Arum has never made Floyd an offer to fight Cotto.

Bob has been around boxing long enuff to know Cotto gets his ass handed to him.

Just wondering with Cotto/Mayweather, many say Floyd ducked, but if a guy never utters your name is it ducking? If a fighter never says another's name for all that other fighter knows, could be that the guy doesnt want to fight him, isnt thinking about him, isnt ready to fight him, and or doesnt want to fight him, but I just dont see how you can duck someone who never says your name, what do you guys think?

Yes, it is. When everyone and their mother are talking about this fight and asking you about it. And you just sir there and make excuses why you won't fight instead of welcoming the fight. Then you are clearly ducking.

The Chicago Bears probably have never made a trade offer to get Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. That doesn't mean they wouldn't be extremely interested if they thought he was available. Arum isn't going to bother drawing up a contract that he knows Floyd will send straight to his shredder.

How you gonna make a contract to Floyd? You dont, if anything Floyd will be the one telling Cotto how much he is going to make.
