You can still be a boxer and be a ducker. It's part of the sport. It's simply the truth. There are fighters who avoid certain fighters for their own reasons. And when you duck someone, it's fine to call them a coward.

I don't think it's ever ok to call someone that's doing something that 95% of people wouldn't do a "coward".

larryxxx is just tired of being called a floyd dyck ryder so he has switched his stance to appease to these clowns on here. come on man calling a professional boxer a coward???? thats one thing i can never roll with! we all know its politicts and egos that is keeping this fight from happening, floyd nor pac are scared of eachother and are both professional boxers who do this for a living stop it with that ish man!

I have no problems calling a fighter a coward if they did what Floyd has done for years now. I wouldn't consider myself a coward, but I'm scared ****less of heights, not on a plane or elevator and I can stand a roof but I'll be thinking of not falling... or falling off the entire time. I won't go on the stratosphere or Empire State Building HELL NAW! But I wouldn't call myself a coward.

Floyd fights men in the ring, he isn't a coward. But whenever you say Manny Floyd is scared ****less.

Well, the term 'coward' has its own meaning in boxing. It's basically a synonym for 'ducker'. We all know boxers are brave to get in the ring. No one disputes this.

But as paying fans, we can call them whatever we want. (I don't support outright lies or going overboard or too personal)

Just like in any other professional sport (bball, baseball, football, hockey),..fans trash talk all the time.

Fans call it the way they see it. These guys get paid big money. It's part of professional sports.

Wasn't there just an article here that said Haymon was in talks with team Cotto to make that fight instead.

Cotto or Vargas as plan B...tough decision

I don't have a problem with most of this. What I DO have a problem with the double standards. People won't call a spade a spade. If you could say that Floyd is a "duck" for the last few years for Pac, even though an Pac's team has never come to the table, then what do you call Pac for walking away when the fight was at it's hottest and they were both near prime? People don't call Pac a duck, thay make excuses for him. What do they call him Pac fighting Cotto who didn't look good at the time over Mosley who had just KO'd Margarito? Not a duck again. You can't have it both ways!

Yeah, there is also Vargas saying there was a STRONG chance of him getting the fight next if he looked good against Demarco(Just like Clottey, Margarito, Mosley and Marquez). Funny though, you will run after a rumor when it comes to Floyd, but ignore it coming from the fighters mouth, when it comes to Pac.

You guys suffer from reading comprehension.
