Why are there so many duckers in boxing? why?

[Ged021]

Boxing Fans use the word "duck" and "robbed" loosely. Boxers don't fight each other for many political/financial issues. If a guy can fight somebody else for more money it's not ducking, it's just a business decision. As fans we want the fights that we want and if those fights don't happen then we immediately say someone ducked someone. Same with robberies. If the fight is close and someone gets the win then the other fighter didn't get robbed he just didn't get the Decision.

There are as many 'duckers' as silly boxing fans say there are. Boxers were 'ducking' fighters in the past all the time too. Boxing is about money and it has always been that way because it is prizefighting.

Murray should be fighting Golovkin soon, not because he is not a 'ducker' but because the money is good unless other viable options open up before he puts pen to paper.

Martin Murray been WBA Interim champion since 11/24/12 , How do you go a year without cashing in your money in the bank briefcase for a world title match???

Reported by who? And if he wants to take a fight or two to get ready, whats the problem? He hasnt fought since April, so it makes sense to me.

Tom Loeffler said this. Steve Max journalist tweeted it as he talked to him.
If those two tune-ups don't have an effect on his mandatory fight (I ask you: do they affect?), then no problem. The other problem remains still - he was offered bigger money than he made in the Martinez fight.

He may well have thought it wasnt enough, even though it was more. Was he happy with his purse v Martinez? If it builds his purse and sharpens him up then it makes sense to me. There are also two side to every story, it'll be interesting to hear what Murray has to say.

I read today on twitter a good summary: "Fans are not making GGG the boogeyman, his peers are making him the boogeyman by the way they act when a GGG fight is mentioned."
In other words don't expect a full and honest explanation from the other side. The way they are being silent when the whole world keeps bombarding them with only one question "WHY?".

I wouldnt expect a full and honest explanation from either side! This is boxing after all. I really like the fight and have a ton of respect for both guys, I'm sure it will happen soon enough.
