Why, when a fight doesnt happen, one fighter is AUTOMATICALLY DUCKING the other?

[Sin City]

Because they are professional fighters doesn't mean they don't get scared either..
May not always be of the other man but losing (pay cut in purses)
Anyone who says a professional fighter is never scared should watch videos of most the men who stepped in the ring with Tyson.

It's true, fear is almost non-existent to top level fighters. Sadly people don't understand that.

Professional boxers care a lot more about how much money they are making than who they are fighting. Anyone who doesn't believe that can ask one.

I mean with Floyd this has happened.....

With Haye this has happened.....

With Devon and Bradley, and Ortiz, and Maidana, and Khan this has happened.....

Come on guys, there is more to a fight than just signing on the dotted line.....Negotiations about money, gloves, weight, this, that and the other......

These guys are all PROFESSIONAL fighters that have been figting their ENTIRE LIVES. Then they, just out of the blue, get scared of someone?

Come on guys be real....

Manny and Floyd arent scared of one another....

Haye and Wlad arent scared of each other....

And no one at 140 is scared of one another......

This is just one of my pet peeves....

Carry on.......

With Floyd we will see.

With Khan and Maidana it took the WBA ordering a purse split, and even then there were questions about whether Khan would vacate the title, so he was definitely postponing the Maidana fight a little.

Bradley and Alexander are definitely not scared of each other, and if Shaw wasn't a greedy prick they would already be signed to fight.

Haye signed the dotted line and pulled out. All his bull**** calling out the Klitschkos was just to get attention, he is ducking Wlad and Vitali without mercy.

I agree with you that people claim fighters are ducking far too quickly, but Haye is definitely ducking.

Its not really the fighters that have a problem getting together to fight, its all of these promoters protecting their potential future nest egg. Its too many promoters with exclusive rights and too many organizations. Sadly, this takes away from the game.............Rockin'

I think that most fighters coming up,will fight anybody,but as soon as a fighter gets a fanbase & a little popular,there are fighters that they do avoid!!There are those fighters that will fight anybody,like Cotto,but even he has been called a ducker,why,I couldn't tell ya.Floyd has avoided Margarito,Pacman won't fight a real 154 lber,that's just the way boxing is these days,that's why mma is mopping boxing up!!

This is also true. I also said that Juanma came off lookin' like a bitch when Caballero went off on him, but I doubt Juanma actually fears Caballero. Just that it really urks me when I hear someone say so and so is afraid of so and so, in some cases it's true but thats rare to find. Maybe it's me, because me, I have a hard time distinguishing fear from ducking.
