      Case by case basis. In Khans case, ducking Bradley and Prescott were career ending. In Floyds case, a loss would be a wrap.

        Losses aren't that important if you avenge it when you're a fighter that has a resume already. Like Bradley. Loses to PAC but if he wins it would make up for it.

        Ducking has some reasoning, but over-doing it (like Floyd) is bad.

          A loss is worse.

          Ducking would be worse except for the simple fact that so many people are accused of ducking, when it really happens its just lost in the shuffle.

          I think fighters realize they're gonna do the time (be accused of ducking) no matter what they do, so they might as well do the crime.

          There's so many boy who cried wolf ducking-allegations that we can't decipher reality from fiction right now, how can someone ranking the fighters in 5, 10, 50 years? They can't. They just look at the losses.

                  DLH is an ATG, he ducked no one, was an exciting fighter, a dominant cash cow, a great boxer, and in his prime would wipe the ring with both Floyd and Manny.
