Biggest ducks in boxing history.

[joe strong]

Mike Tyson & Rid**** Bowe ducking Lennox Lewis come to mind. Bowe dumped WBC belt in trash can instead of fighting Lewis. Tyson had to pay Lewis 4 million step aside money & give him the next title shot after King served up Seldon’s WBA title to Mike. Instead they vacated the WBC belt. Sure it was to fight Holyfield for a lot more money but it was such a shady move by King to steer Tyson away from Lennox.

Bowe ducking Lewis
Lewis ducking Vitali
Ward ducking Bute
Ward ducking Kessler
RJJ ducking Michalsczewski
RJJ ducking Nunn
Floyd ducking Magarito



All infamous ducks from modern time.

If people are going to say Lennox ducked Vitali after beating him & decided to retire than you better throw Vitali ducking Haye in that list because that is exactly what he did. Told Haye to beat Chisora & he would get his shot (Vitali really struggled with Chisora) & Haye demolished him in 5 rounds. Then Vitali fights a novice in Charr & retired…

A self admitted duck by George Foreman. He said he ducked Lennox in his second career. He even said he would have ducked him in his prime. George thinks Lennox Lewis is the greatest HW of all-time… Always liked George’s unbiased honesty.

Lummox should have just retired after the fight, and I wouldn't have called a duck, but the shameless way he behaved sfterwards before finally retiring was disgusting and gives a clear room for calling it a duck.

calzaghe ducking rjj and hopkins

Lummox? Hahaha! If Kirk Johnson didn’t tear his peck they would have fought & Vitali was fighting Cedric Boswell on the undercard. If they both won Vitali was next anyway. Lennox was 38 & already talking retirement after his Tyson cash out. Lennox wasn’t in great shape & still managed to get the W. lennox was arrogant & I’m pretty sure he underestimated Vitali or he wouldn’t have been ok with Vitali replacing Johnson on 2 weeks notice. Vitali was always in shape year round while Lennox wasn’t by that point in his career. I’m pretty sure he realized he wasn’t going to beat Vitali again by coming in out of shape & the motivation for what kind of training camp would be required to get ready for the rematch was just not there anymore. The threat was real & he wasn’t willing to go thru with another camp. He went out on top & that win over Vitali looked better as the years went by. Vitali got into the hall of fame. Although I think Vitali’s resume was not hall worthy.

What do you consider the biggest, most obvious, and most shameless ducks in boxing history?

Bowe ducking Lewis has to be up there.

Bowe ducking Lewis and May ducking Pac are equal massive ducks, the worst in boxing history! Shameful on both men's careers.

Can't overlook May for several ducks to be honest, real boxing fans haven't forgotten the Khan/Maidana situation, Margarito, Williams, Cotto at 147.

Wilder openly ducking and turning down a career high pay day against AJ and Fury ducking AJ to such an extent that even his own father called him out on it.

huh? floyd got his bluff called. he said it was testing...then went from 50-50 to pac only gets a 40 million flat fee no ppv, for a fight that was worth 500 million. you cant be serious...they were both doing the exact same ppv numbers at the time as well and pac only gets 40 million no ppv and floyd gets close to 500 million? derp, even when they did fight it was a 55-45 split so doesnt that prove floyd was full of crap? i mean jeez

You’re doing your usual BS daggum. Floyd has fought odh and canelo. Did over 2 mil on both. Manny never did over that number other than Floyd. Floyd also had done 1.5 mil with Cotto. To say they were “doing the exact same ppv numbers” is a complete lie.

When Manny turned down $40 mil he had never made more try am $28 mil with the bigger cut of the ppv. You’d never justify this if an American turned down this much against a foreigner so your agenda is clear.

If Manny really wanted the fight he’d have taken the short money. He instead fought JMM a a 4th time for far less just so he could say he got the bulk of the ppv revenue. Ok he got what he wanted and got ktfo for it.

I notice you also leave out the part where he all the sudden got the stitches after Bob said he was “ready to go”.

Manny ducked Floyd for years and we saw why when they fought. He won at best 3 rounds. That was always going to be the outcome.

i love how you pretend to be the "unbiased" guy then continually lie and say loma gave up a belt when that is a lie, and not to mention he fought the #1 guy in the division instead of a complete unproven novice, then after the lopez fight tried to fight haney and haney ducked him to fight linares lol. tied yourself in a pretzel again because loma literally made every right move to fight the best opponent, the only thing he did was get upgraded not to have any mandatories, but htat doesnt even matter cause he tried to fight the guy who was his mandatory and haney ducked which leaves you up sh-its creek without a paddle when it comes to this argument

Lie. Lmfao. He literally gave Haney the belt. When called on it, he flat out lied to Fat Dan about the franchise garbage.

After he lost to Teo, he got some BS shoulder surgery ( where have we seen that before) that then he decided to fake call out Haney because he had no rematch clause with Teo.

So without a belt he knew he had to fight gatekeepers. So he plays the Bob media game and Haney decided to tell him Go F-ck himself as payback for loma ducking him.

Yet somehow you give credit to Loma for “ trying to fight “ and find fault with only Haney.

Typical agenda driven BS from a scummy anti American f@g.

Floyd was ducking for what 8 years.

Floyd was smoke and mirrors first it was ost
Then it was the the split in hindsight had Manny took 40 mill no ppv he would have grossly shortchanged himself, but it wasn't about the money thats the stock Floyd boy excuse. Floyd wanted a low risk fight.
