Where do you rank Stevenson Adonis' duck of Kovalev?

[junior gong]

It's such a big duck it's almost an emu.

[Beercules]

Aww c'mon man Stevenson a smart binnis man, this a binnis move. Y'all be hatin.

[TOBYLEE1]

Him and Kovalev is the fight to see but I can't strike him for looking for better financial opportunities

[Grimmer]

Kovalev will run into some one who can take a punch decently and lose. Let's face it, Campillo and Sillakh were chinny to start, however I felt if Sillakh could survive he could win and I picked him to win but too bad he was chinnier than I thought.

Or Kovalev punches harder than you thought?

I'm not saying he's unbeatable, but you'll do well to find someone who can stand up to his shots for 12 rounds.

At the minute I'd say Andre Ward could do a spoiling job on him, but other than that I'm not sure who I'd give a good chance of winning to.

Man... This is way up there with Mayweather ducking Pacman. Top 10 ATG duck.

He's not ducking him.....All the dumb posters were saying Garcia was ducking Matthyse just because he didn't sign the contract to fight him within 5 seconds and look what happened....Danny took his time, eventually signed it and then exposed Matthyse for the foreign hype job that he is.

I'm sure Adonis will fight Sergey when the time is right....Fighters have to worry about whats best for them...not what some moron on boxing scene forum who works at Taco bell thinks.
I guarantee you that Adonis will fight Sergey sometime soon. He just isn't going to put his entire life on hold to fight some unproven Russian fighter. He will sign when he's ready which should be within 6 months- one year.

ATG line right there!

#1. Sounds crazy but the way this duck was executed was a work of art.

This duck changed the way ducking will take place in the future. I think this duck needs a new name because of how it revolutionized boxing. I call it "strategic avoidance".

It all started last year. Stevenson beat Dawson and was the new champ. But Kovalev was coming on like a monster. He beat Cleverly and Campillo.

At first, Stevenson tried the classic duck line "Kovalev needs to build his name up and beat more champions first"

Nobody bought into it.

Next he tried the new era duck line "the fans want to see Froch and Hopkins"

Nobody bought into it.

At this stage, he realized classic duck methods could not save him. So this guy ran to Alt Haymon., and used the cold war to strategically avoid a fighter he wanted no part of.

This strategic avoidance is a 10/10 and the first of its kind.

Gold post all the way. Soo hilarious but it all matches up and I don't even like to call fighters duckers.

Pbp had excellent post

This sounds bad, but nowhere near the level that floyd took it to when he ducked manny.

Aside from the unrealistic demands (floyd taking more ppv than pac and manny needing to join tmt etc....) floyd also went on a prolonged holiday, and even voluntarily entered prison just to have an excuse not to fight pac.

It will be a while before anyone tops that!

The term "ducking" should be banned forever. I think we need to look at situations a little more wholistically. Ducking is lazy analysis.
