Worst Duck Move? Manny Sueing Mayweather and Walking, Or Bowe Ducking Lennox?

[Ray*]

The problem with this thread is the kids on here are too young to remember Bowe throwing the belt away instead of fighting Lewis. I dont think Pac or Floyd ducked. Two guys with heads too big to get the fight done. Neither one of them wanted to be looked at as the "B" side of the fight. They both had HUGE egos and deservedly so based off their accomplishments. No fighter fears another fighter, thats why they have a team. All of them think they are the best and that thought process is nessesary to be a good fighter.

Good post!!! Very good post.

Bob Arum fears putting Manny in the ring with FMJ.

Floyd taking 2 years off to duck Williams was the worst. His refusal to take an 80/20 split to fight Martinez at 150 was 2nd worst. His he-can-have-the-belt duck of Manny was 3rd worst. His refusal to fight GGG at 154 was 4th worst. And if he retires without fighting Lara that will be the 5th worst.

I'd sue the bastards myself if I were Manny...hehe... Look what happened. Four years later, Money Mayweather was forced to pay millions to settle the case because he wasn't able to provide his previous testing results. Just imagine a dirty fighter accusing someone of cheating. Hehe...

Floyd was saying flat out Manny was on something hence the lawsuit. "It's common sense" I believe he said.
I'm just a fan. Common sense tells me passing drug tests means you are clean, and having 20 different reasons for not fighting is ducking, especially libelous comments on video.
Common sense tells me, when you make t'shirts that say take the test, then find other reasons, when the guy agrees to testing, you are ducking.

Ok. He said Manny was on something. Has nothing to do with people running with the "I'm a rich coward" quote and taking it out of context. Manny agreed to testing after the fact of wanting to know when a RANDOM test would take place. Agreeing and doing are two different things. Manny had 5 fights to do random testing, and has not done it until the Rios fight. I dont know how Floyd gets criticized for asking for random test but Manny gets praised for rejecting random test.

When was he ever sent any contract? Manny and Bowe had contracts in front of them and they walked

I had no problem with Floyd asking for testing, and didn't really like that Manny didn't accept. I was happy when Manny said he'd do the testing(which was 3 years ago now) but Floyd then decided Manny didn't deserve a PPV cut. I don't care about how long it took Manny to start doing the random testing, he told Floyd he'd do it, and Floyd wanted none of it.

Floyd brags about being his own boss, but he was asked what PPV split would be able to get the fight done. Floyd said you'll have to ask Haymon and Ellerbe. I'm not sure if it was Costas or Brian Kenny.

What boxer doesn't brag? You take what FLoyd says at face value? come on son.

Most boxers aren't braggarts. Saying they are going to beat someone before a fight isn't bragging.

I take nothing Floyd says at face value. How can you if you've paid any attention to him? He is entertaining in a listening to an idiot try to sound smart kinda way.

Manny...why?? because he declined,sued...then had the damn nerve to comeback and try to agree 4 damn months later
