no fighter ducks anyone....

[J.Dempsey]

i've read a few times on this forum ppl sayin this fighter ducks this fighter etc..this is my opinion..

does anyone actually believe at the top level of pro boxing that its up to the boxer who he fights??
I think these days its all about money, which ever 2 fighters can bring the most money n dats it! after all its a sport/job..they do as their manager/promoter says...wat u reckon?

Boxing is a business and yea, $ decides a lotta fights bein made. Promoters make the last call a lotta times. It's wrong to call any pro fighter a coward, but there are some guys who don't want it wit certain other fighters.

One of the realest threads I seen in a while. To take it a little further the networks are the promoters these days (Hbo, Showtime, ESPN, Versus). If the network don't want the fight your only option is bull**** ppvs like Cotto-Jennings.

A lot of fighters cry too much about money tho. Im willing to fight anyone if the right amount of money is offered. Turning down fights unless you make 50 million is basically saying dont even start negotiations Im a spoiled ***** who would rather beat up nobodies for slightly less money than actually be tested.

No fighters duck other fighters.. but it doesn't always mean they are scared..

I want to punch my sister's husband in the mouth.. And he knows it.. and is always calling me out.. I know I would ring his skinny little neck without breaking a sweat..
But it would not be worth the trouble..

Technically I am ducking him.. but it isn't because I am afraid of the guy

I think your scared.....



















Just messing with ya.

Fighters do duck other fighters, this is a fact. I wouldn't call it fear but they look at their careers and wonder if fighting that guy is worth it. Mosley even admited he ducked Marg for a little while because he wasn't ready for him but in the long run ended up KOing him.

Its fear. Do I think its fear of an ass whopping......no. But fear of having a loss on your record. Or fear of losing earning potential........yeah.

Frank Warrens business model seems to be based on it.

Why don't you go tell Archie Moore that he was never ducked.
