George Kambosos is a one hit wonder - that is the best description of his career so far in one sentence. All the other words in addition to that are fluff.

I was on the side of Plant never getting that Canelo rematch, but the more I think about it, it's actually perfect for Canelo's current gameplan of picking the most lucrative fights for the easiest work. He made Plant a star, he can still beat him, the rematch would most certainly sell. I personally don't care to see it, but if Eubank ducks, don't be shocked if we see Canelo vs Plant II.

“… if Eubank ducks”? As in duck Canelo? The fact that Canelo is rumored to be fighting Eubanks is insane. Perhaps next he’ll fight Maidana or Mayorga since both are rumored to be trying to make a comeback.
How exactly would you call Eubabks refusing to fight Canelo a duck but Canelo fighting ducking Benavidez fighting a mishmash of overmatched guys is not a duck?

I wouldn’t and didn’t.

But Eubanks electing not to fight Canelo would be a duck?

Been saying this since day one.
We all want the "best" version of a guy, no ?

Depends on the context.

Ultimately, I know what you're getting at; the word I should have used in my OP was "decline," not "duck." I probably typed it in haste.

But when he fought that one match, he fought it well. Was a beautiful thing how he overwhelmed Lopez. He'll always have that.

And I thank you for a respectful response. I understand it now.
