      yeah I heard he got out of a fight with Glen Johnson multiple times. And I would say he didnt want no part of Sven Ottke, a prime Roy Jones and a prime Hopkins

        Roy Jones in the 90's, Glen Johnson, Chad Dawson, Hopkins rematch. Those are the fights that could have but didn't happen.

                  No one really.

                  You could argue Glen Johnson if you don't believe he was injured. Although he pulled out of many fights with injuries against lesser opp who people don't even remember let alone say he was "ducking". The Glen Johnson one gets brought up because he suddenly KOed Roy and became a big name. Before that, he was basically a journeyman that no one gave a *** about. He wasn't really anyone to "duck". The guy lost to Omar Sheika for crying out loud!

                  He and Roy just weren't on each other's radar. There was one time they were gonna fight in 2003 but Roy decided to move up to HW.

                  People saying Hopkins crack me up because its blatantly the case that Hopkins backed out of a signed fight with Calzaghe in 2002. A similarly blatant duck to Bradley's of Amir Khan which you can almost guarantee Fat Yanks will try to revise history on in years to come much like they have Hopkins/Joe.
