    Guzman/Pac was the fight many people wanted to see at 130. Humberto Soto vs Pac was another good fight that should have happened at 130, especially after Bobby got knocked out right in front of Manny.

        I wouldn't say there is anyone in boxing right now that haven't ducked or chosen not to fight someone tbh. My top picks were Cotto (He did duck williams), Malignaggi (Ducked Thurman), and Maidana (Also Ducked Thurman). All time though I have to say De La Hoya, Mayorga, and even James Toney. How about Antonio Margarito and Paul Williams? I have never heard them or even a rep of theirs say no to an opponent.

        Looking back on my post I have to say Thurman is pretty damn ballsy. I haven't heard him say he needs time, experience, or they are too big to any possible challenges or challengers at front of him.

              Tell that to Mosley,when Mosley was coming off of the Margarito win,Mosley virtually begged Pac-juice for a fight and even offered to meet him at 140.But Pac-juice still declined and fought Mosley later when he was washed up.And When Margarito was begging Pac-juice for a fight Pac-juice didn`t want it.But when Margarito fought some bum and looked like crap,then pacquiao wanted to fight him.

              Pac-juice also avoided Nate Campbell,Zahir Raheem,Yuri Foreman,Juan Guzman,Juan Diaz,Mayweather back in 2010,when Floyd offered him 50/50 back in 2009,and Floyd agreed to all of Pac-juice`s demand,all Floyd wanted was random testing and Pac-juice turned it down because he was afraid to fight Floyd without his roids.Pac-juice also skipped a weight class so he can avoid Mark Too Sharp Johnson,Rafael Marquez and Tim Austin.

                Roiders? Are what? Steroids or not he was fearless. And it's also a damn shame that that's all you personally can remember him by because he was possibly the greatest light heavy weight/cruiser weight ever.

                But you probably wouldn't know, you just heard he "does steroids" by one of these pimple face 15-year olds who never even seen a Holyfield fight.

                  Pacquiao is iffy. I don't know if anyone else considers this a duck or not but Cotto stating that he wanted to fight him at a comfortable weight and Pacquiao declining doesn't sound like he is fearless to me. Also just about every JMW offered to fight him after his Margarito win when he got the JMW "Title"

                    Great post with the Foreman duck. I definitely remember the "Yuri Foreman is too big" comments. Then Cotto Ko'd the "too big Yuri Foreman" lol. Idk if I can agree with your other comments though.
