If a fighter REFUSES to fight someone that called him out unless "the money's right" - is that a DUCK? Yes/No?

Are we suggesting that Keef by that point had "earned" a chance even though at that point he hadn't fought anyone?Comment

Fans on here only started to trash thurman after his poor performance against josesito lopez then when thurman loss to pac, his stocks went down even more but when he was calling out for floyd which was back in 2014, he was view as a good boxer.

What fight(s) did Keef have against what opposition that was anywhere near the level of Manny OR Floyd?

Name the two wins that earned Keef a fight against Floyd Mayweather who I remind you was fresh off beating future Hall of Famers with ease. And the fight with Thurman was supposed to be 2015 - the year that Floyd made easy work of Manny Pacquiao to unify.

thurman called floyd out in 2014!!! that was when thurman was consider p4p#1 in the WW division. thurman was undefeated at the time and was view highly on here. stop making up lies.
you are saying thurman didnt deserve a shot at floyd but berto did?? pac??? after getting KO'd silly by marquez????? in 2014, thurman was undefeated and was consider as the best in his division.Comment

In a career of say 40 fights a guy has 300 callouts , it seems all easy to call duck 260 times and you can bet some fan did for every one of the 260 non events.
A real duck is infinitely more complex than saying no to a callout, the mentality around the term Duck comes from schoolboy machoism of somebody is scared.Comment

Held two of the belts and was Floyd's WBC mandatory the whole time he was cherrypicking.
Thurman did good box office as well but Floyd refused to acknowledge him.

Unless it's something below your usual payday/lowballed, yes.
Yes, the examples you stated are all ducks, davis, canelo and crawford are also good examples of ducks, the first two duck for obvious reasons, crawford? No good reason to duck, especially since boots cant even cut the ring and is inexperienced at the highest level.Last edited by YGriffith; 02-06-2024, 01:44 PM.Comment

That's the timeline. So I'll ask again.Mayweather Thurman 2014 May 2014, he fights Chino. NSB (and others) claim that Chino got robbed (he didn't), so he ran it back in September and won clearly with a ref that actually enforced the rules.
SO 2014 Mayweather was NOT available because people were hoping that Chino could pull it out. Nobody was asking for a Thurman fight.April 2014, stops Julio Diaz, a lightweight.
December 2014, is taken the distance by 40-year old Bundu after basically running away from him. At the weigh-in, he calls out Floyd But after the fight, he called out Chino.2015 May 2015, schools future Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao. You can discredit him for what happened to him but that was his fault for refusing random blood and urine testing back in 2009 (Roach is on record that's what happened and why the fight didn't happen). To this day, no fighter has surpassed the gates for this fight, because it's what the people wanted after marinating for so long. Nobody was asking for a Thurman fight.
September 2015, Floyd books a fight with Berto. What nobody paid attention to is that Berto was basically a mandatory. He held the WBA interim title (aka "if the champ doesn't fight you, we're making you the champ" - which Crawford had to learn the hard way recently) that he won from Josesito - the same Josesito that would later damn near stop Keef off a body shot and a flurry flush shots.
Floyd retires. The WBA Super is vacated.Before defending against Guerrero in March, Keef gets an email. It's the WBA, elevating him to Regular champion (with Floyd as Super champion).
May 2015 Thurman gets damn near stopped off a body shot by Collazo and lucks out that Collazo gets an eye injury. Calls out Mayweather. Avanesyan gets elevated to interim after beating Mosley.
Of the fighters listed, which two entitled Keef to a shot against the top guy?Last edited by Combat Talk Radio; 02-06-2024, 02:24 PM.Comment
