Do you consider it a cowardly act if a fighter avoids another fighter?

But is the act of avoiding tough fights a cowardly act?

Opening up your big fat mouth and not backing it up in the ring.

Hell NO its not always cowardly. Sometimes its business. People cant just loook at this like its some damn video game. This is these guys jobs, lives, & well being. Some things just dont make sense to do. If you had 2 choices and one guy was a killer but you would only make $100 fighting him and the other guy was a bum but you would make a mil fighting him, it doesnt mean that you are a coward if you pick the bum. It just makes the most sense and I want to get paid

If youre constantly mouthing how you're the greatest ever but you can't even back that **** up you're a straight coward.

even a guy like Bradley. Im in the minority and take up for him. People are fools if they think Bradley is scared of Alexander but him & his team probably look at it like why should I fight him now when he's probably the toughest fight & at this time the fight is at the lowest point it will ever be. He would rather fight other guys for even more money who are lesser risk and then come back to Devon at the end when they both have cleaned out the division and then there fight would be worth twice as much money. Fans hate hearing **** like that but it makes the most sense by far

Depends if the fighter is claiming to be the best in he's division or not I suppose

threadstarter is referring to Pretty Boy Floyd who has avoided a megafight with Manny Pacquiao by accusing Pac of taking PEDs and demanding olympic style drug testing
