To boxing fans, ducking. To casuals, a loss.

Hopkins stock > Stevensons
One lost to kova
One ducked kova
Stevensons stock has declined recently . Viewing figures are terrible. Attendances lower.Last edited by jas; 02-25-2015, 05:30 AM.Comment

Maybe, or maybe you had a bad nugget, or maybe you got robbed as it so often happens. Ducking means you lack the guts to even get into into the ring with your opponent.Originally posted by Gabagool View PostComment

How is this even a question? Clearly ducking.Comment

Most sentimental boxing fans will say ducking, but the reality is that a fighter loses more stock if they lose.
In most cases, you can't really prove that a fighter is ducking another fighter.Comment

Clearly a duck...
No one who has faced everyone will come out undefeated...
Someone who comes out undefeated did not face everyone.
Who do you want to admire, or hold up higher?
The guy who gave it his all to prove he could be the best
The guy who avoided a potential loss because he wasn't sure of himself????
Edit: that being said, I believe every modern fighter has in one way or another ducked an opponent... It's when you continue to duck and duck top fighters that really drops your stock...Last edited by 5.4ever; 02-25-2015, 06:03 AM.Comment

Yes you can. If a fighter says "I'd rather be known as a coward" and "my health comes first" that's a blatant duck if I've ever seen one...Originally posted by Pugilist95 View PostComment

Unfortunately a loss. Look at Timothy Bradley. If he loses to Khan does he go on to headline 3 ppvs?
Donaire was the next Pacquiao then he lost to Rigo and is no longer a headliner. Santa Cruz will go on to fight Mares in what will be a big fight.
Losses are damaging and that's why ducking is so popular now.Comment

Thats just one fighter and his name is synonymous with ducking. I said in most cases you can't really prove that a fighter is ducking another fighter.Originally posted by 5.4ever View PostComment
