Can anyone argue with this top 3 most ducked list?

[studentofthegam]

1. Hagler
2. Pryor
3. P. Williams

I dare anyone to break-up this trio.

[BattlingNelson]

Awful list. How was/is any of those avoided?

Hagler ducked Mike Mccallum? so hows Hagler the most ducked?

[AntDawg]

How is Williams being ducked? all these well known named fighters are fighting him lol.

1. Hagler
2. Pryor
3. P. Williams

I dare anyone to break-up this trio.

Vitali has been avoided first by Lewis and now by Haye. Why do the british fighters fear him so much?

[Ravishing]

1. Hagler
2. Pryor
3. P. Williams

I dare anyone to break-up this trio.

Aaron Pryor is the only one I think people avoided.

But both hagler and Williams? Nah...

Hagler fought great fighters. Definitely was a tough dude, but he's in the circles of Leonard, Hearns and Duran. They all fought each other at some point, so I wouldn't say he was ducked. Now was Hagler "screwed" a few times? Yea..

Paul Williams just isn't a marketable guy right now. He barely filled half of the arena when he fought Winky Wright. He brings nothing to the table yet (i.e. 3.5 Million purse for Pavlik vs Williams?? Wow..)

It is my opinion thats it. I havent seen your top 3.
Paul didnt get the best fights at welter weight so he went up.
Sugar Ray and Hearns waited years and had to be pretty much forced to fight Marvelous Marvin.
Ray Leonard was pretty clear when he told Pryor he didnt want any part of him.
Now the Vitali Klitsko that is a pretty good person to insert. Definitely one of the ducked.

Ray Leonard was pretty clear when he told Pryor he didnt want any part of him.

Legendary Nights Myths must die!!!

Anyway, if you want to look at history's most avoided fighters, you look at the fighters in the first half of the 20th century who never got their title shots, mostly the black ones. Charley Burley, Holman Williams, Lloyd Marshall (I do not count "hold this title while the champ is at WW2" titles), Harry Wills, Sam Langford, George Godfrey, etc...Or Archie Moore who was a top 5 contender for like 7 years or so before finally getting a title shot.

They were much more avoided than Aaron "I turned down $500,000 to fight Leonard and $700,000 to fight Duran and got shot when I was supposed to unify 140 but Legendary Nights shows me calling out Leonard so newbies think he was scared of me" Pryor, or Marvin Hagler who at least got his title shot after a couple years of being a top ranked contender.

Leonard did not duck Pryor in any way. Im pretty sure Leonard even offered him a fight.

not that it mattered either way, Leonard probably would have turned Pryor inside out.

Fact: In Feb 2007 Tye Fields offered to fight Hasim Rahman on Rahman's home turf and Rahman turned it down despite originally agreeing to the fight, instead choosing to fight some unheard of guy named James Toney or something.

Fact:In May 2008 Tye Fields offered Wlad Klitschko a fight on American soil which would have been a massive event, but instead Klitschko decided to fight a journeyman club fighter named Toni Thompson.

Fact:In May 2008, after being declined by Wlad, Tye then turned to the older Klitschko, Vitali, and offered the same deal since Vitali was to return to boxing, but instead went with already beaten and way past his prime ex-Nigerian email scam artist, Samuel Peter.

Fact: In Sep 2006, Tye Fields offered $3 million dollars to Evander Holyfield, Holyfield blatantly ducked the fight and instead fought bum Jeremy Bates.

Fact:In mid 1999 Tye Fields offered Lennox Lewis the opportunity to fight on the big stage but Lewis quickly turned down the fight and said, "I will NEVER fight anyone taller than me."


Now I ask you, who is the most ducked man in boxing?
