is there to much ducking in boxing today ?

[thebowtod]

They ducked a lot more back then in the 50s and such so I would say no. The word duck is highly overused here.

did u live in the 50's? cuz i highly doubt it was money first in the 50's.

ducking has been going on for a long time. didn't dempsey duck a lot of fighters. i can only think of p. williams being legitamately ducked. once fighters build a name they just start looking for money fights.

they want to drive killer mercedes and infinitis while not having to do much themselves.

Mayweather was still getting big fights while avoiding high risk fighters. Now, he'll fight anyone that'll get him the most coin. Pac isn't exactly stepping up to face risky fighters. DLH and Hatton are not exactly the best guys to fight but he is cuz he's gonna get mad paid.

The majority of the boxing world wrote pac off as "dead" right before his fight with Oscar. Everybody thought Oscar would kill him. Pac has faced Morales 3x, Barerra 2x, and Marquez 2x. He is now stepping up to a fighter who has never lost at 140. How is this not taking risks?

There's too many belts but yea certain fights should happen/ or should have happened.

IMO regarding Floyd, Margarito hadn't done enough to earn the opportunity to step in the ring with him(outside of Clottey bac then who had Margarito beat?).

Floyd didn't have any excuse tho not to fight Mosley or Cotto. He should have stepped in the ring with one of them before he called it quits.

As far as Pacquiao I don't think he's ducking anyone. I wanna see em fight Nate Campbell or Guzman soon though. Him fighting Hatton I can't complain about.

Johnathan Banks springs to mind.
