I would pretty much duck everyone who is a power puncher
IF you were a boxer, who would you duck?

I would avoid runners / fighters who retreat from combat. It would be a very frustrating / boring "fight". It is pointless in my eyes to go inside the ring with these type of fighters. I would want to trade punches and get a real fight going.Comment

Tyson and Bhop come to mind for different reasons...
With Mike, I know i'm getting stopped...so if I had to do it..I'm negotiating the best pillow available on the market..I'm going to need a soft place to faceplant..if I'm going out cold it will be in style. And what if I land something in an exchange and people call me a warrior for giving it my all?
with Bhop ..it's like even after you're done fighting him, win or lose, he's still haunting you.
Hopkins exposes me, lays the blueprint, and now every fighter after that follow the same thing and I'm forced to retire because I'm getting dropped by club fighters like Caleb Truax. Two ducks for me unless the money is too good.
and finally Chavez Sr..... because I need my liver.Comment

Your question is kinda vague about my position, so ill be specific and say if i was a decent star with regular television dates and a belt.
People from whom you gain nothing by beating but lose everything you had.
1) Bernard Hopkins at this point. Cloud should not have fought him and nor Pascal.
2) Keith Thurman at this point is just pure brain damage for peanuts.
Now if i was a contender i would fight them to get a shot or win a belt.Comment

Canelo Alvarez.
That guy is protected. He has the cartel, the referee, and the judges in his back pocket.
Unless I outright KO him I know I'm taking an L. If I hurt him I know the ref is going to do everything in his power to help him recover. If it goes 12 rounds I have no shot unless I KD'd him in every round and even then I have to assume the fight would be a close SD loss. If I manage to eek out a win then my family would be in danger and I'd have to put them in some sort of Witness Protection to keep them away from the Mexican cartel who would want to exact vengeance for beating their golden child.
Unless you're the biggest name in Boxing (Mayweather obviously...) you just can't win against Alvarez no matter what you do.
Even mayweather got a MD against him. what a jokeComment
