The not needed club

[Funky_Monk]

Here in the UK we have the expression "he's in the who needs him club".
Typically for fighters who the risk outweighs the reward.
So I want to know who are yours?

Obvious choices are GGG and Andre Ward but there must be lots more out there.

Most ducked fighters in addition to ward and ggg:

Rigo
Kovalev

[The Problem Child]

Not needed club:

Lara
Herrera

Can't think of others at the moment.

I'm not sure Kovalev is being ducked by anyone besides Stevenson?
Correct me if i'm wrong.

Also I think Frampton might fancy Rigo once he has a belt...?

Stevenson, Pascal, Ward, Braehmer, Dawson...none of them are lining up to fight him.

Add Thurman to your list.

Uhhh I dont think this is what TS was talking about. Rigo IS the best. He brings in multiple belts. So there's a HUGE reward in beating him. Maybe not financially but theres a big reward if you beat him.

I think better examples are Lara and Herrera (more than Lara), like Golovkin pointed out. At least Lara is a champion. Herrera on the other hand, hes a nobody. Hes a dangerous smart fighter who brings NOTHING. No belt, no money, no fan base.

Ward is also a bad example. He, just like Rigo, is a lineal and P4P champion. GGG is borderline cause he's getting real popular so he's starting to bring in a fan base and numbers plus a belt.

Fair enough. I'm not sure Ward should be in that list and not say Froch...

Not seen any Herrera, can anyone recommend any good fights to watch?
