    Let's Be Honest here: IF you were a decent fighter would you ever duck anyone?

    I know fighters get ragged on for ducking fighters and taking other matches. But let's say you are just trying to make a living and trying to prolong your career. You got a family to take care of and all that stuff. Would you ever duck a fighter that you knew was superior to you? BEcause you knew if and when you get destroyed your career would be over.

    Yes man.

    There are some guys who are simply not worth fighting. You could get your ass kicked and have nothing to show for it.

            gatti is a bad example, most fighters dont get offered so many fights that are guaranteed ass whoopings.. just cause he is popular on the tele means that top flight people want to fight him cause they get paid and will probably win.

            a fighter of gattis talent level at another weight class would be waiting years for a title shot.

            anyhow, i wouldnt duck anybody, id fight em all, if you get into boxing thinking youre gonna pick fights so you can retire undefeated then youre a ******. youre gonna lose sooner or later it may as well be to the best the world has to offer.

            that being said, its not ducking if the money isnt right.

              Honestly I would have to say yes b/c you might come up against a fighter that is way to dangerous for you and can seriously hurt you and your career.

                  i wish in baseball batters could decide to have someone pinch hit for them against randy johnson so that their batting averages dont get messed up.

                    Depends in what I had to lose and who I would be against and my own abilities. But in all honesty I would probably do a Sven Ottke coming to think about it Unless I was as good RJJ
