Can You Be Labeled a Duck If...

[Akuza Da Root]

It is true though, if Boxer A(who's also a promoter) signed the contract agreeing to all demands presented, including a 50/50 split of profit to a potential "over half a billion" fight, then it's simply foolish to consider him a duck. Boxer B who didn't sign and ended negotiations based on a stipulation presented by Boxer A that both will partake in should be noted as the actual suspect. Especially considering the variety of excuses of why such stipulation was rejected stemming from health problems, to having a phobia of needles(although the boxer have tattoos from an ink parlor), and other miscellaneous reasons.

Does Boxer A gain more credence if Boxer B years later employs their future opponents to undertake the same stipulation that Boxer A presented to them? Does Boxer B gets labeled as a duck and scared to take the fight when it actually meant something?

You can face a guy 4 times and still be considered ducking a fighter. So I guess anything goes.

Yeah I seen this phenomenon around these message boards, is lacking logic the cool thing to do around here?

...you actually sign a contract to face the boxer you are accused of ducking?

Let's say Boxer A signs a contract agreeing to a match with Boxer B. For spits and giggles, let's also say that the financial terms are set for 50/50. The contract is sent to Boxer B and Boxer B never signs it. Is it proper to call Boxer A a ducker if he signed on the dotted line? This seems a bit backwards to me.

Sorry to take us way back, and I know (most of us) are all sick of this topic, but the amount of times I see some of you claim this particular boxer dodged the other is overwhelming, when it seems that if anything, it should be the other way around.

Again, how can you be accused of ducking someone when you signed the contract to fight, and the most important stipulation (the money) is set for 50/50?????

mayweather sent a certain amir khan a contract many months back, which khan promptly signed, then mayweather or fighter A posted a poll and said he would fight whoever won the poll. Khan won that too.

No fight happened...

who is the duck in this scenario my friend?

I don't believe there was a duck. What I believe is that a better opportunity presented itself and Mayweather made what he believed was the better business decision. I also believe that the Khan fight will happen if both win their next fights.
