If Floyd did what Canelo did to Lara, you would say Floyd is ducking Lara.

[Bigg Rigg]

Probably Miguel Cotto

Cotto is fighting in June though. When Is the next time he gets back in
ring after fighting Sergio??? November-December maybe. Canelo can't sit around all that time waiting for him.

The "duck" is simply a fact of boxing. I feel for fighters who campaign in a superstars division. And are dangerous. When was the last time a superstar fought a divisions most feared?? Rig and Danny and Rigo got crucified for owning his dude.

Name the most feared in these divisions. People like you are quick to use "duck". Superstars take the biggest fights. Biggest fights to the public, not boxingscene message board. Rigo is the dumbest example because he isnt a superstar to the public. Hes unknown

I think he was referring to Nonito as being the superstar and Rigo being the most feared opponent in the division.

Marg walked up on Floyd the same way Lara walked up on Nelo....basically said the same thing and basically got the same answer....till this day, Floyd gets crucified for the way he handled that....Nelo is the golden boy, he can get away with sucker stuff like that....Ray Leonard was the golden boy when he blew Aaron Pryor off the same way.....the golden boys get golden showers, I mean golden passes!!

Canelo DID NOT DUCK LARA.

He fought Trout, who was coming off a win over Cotto and was considered a bigger threat than Lara at the time (saying otherwise is revisionist history). Trout was pretty much #1 on the "guys Canelo is ducking" list.

Then he fought Floyd, the P4P #1. Did he do that just so he could duck Lara?

Angulo wasn't bad for a comeback fight after a loss, and it's understanable that after fighting who slicksters, Canelo wanted a more favourable style matchup.

As for wanting the Martinez vs Cotto winner next, who in their right mind would pass up on that fight for Lara?

Don't get me wrong, I would very much like to see Canelo vs Lara, but Canelo simply has bigger fish to fry right now. That's not ducking.

Is Stevenson ducking Kovalev??

[Holywarrior]

If Lara fights and wins a title soon I've little doubt that Canelo will fight Lara.

[Juof]

Yes it would be a duck just like canelo ducking. Gbp offered Lara extra money for a fixed fight but Lara declined so they have decided not to do business with Lara.

I think the difference is Floyd was being offered $8m to face Margarito and he chose to face Baldomir instead. I don't think Canelo would be getting anywhere near that to face Lara and I doubt he fights an opponent as bad as Baldomir instead.

Is Stevenson ducking Kovalev??

Not necessarily, but a better case can be made for it than for Canelo ducking Lara. Stevenson has only one option that makes more financial sense than Kovalev, Pascal, and I have yet to hear him say he wants that fight. He just keeps saying meaningless sh.it like "who has Kovalev fought", "I have nothing to prove" etc.
