Is GGG the most avoided fighter of all time?

[Heavyfist]

Now some people might say for a while Tyson was, but that wasn't sustained for years on end, and with Tyson, many fighters were keen due to the size difference. Imagine if Tyson was fighting guys that were all his own size.

Now GGG is getting trouble finding almost any opponents. Even Mandos don't want to fight him. It seems the ducking culture and the ability to duck has gotten out of control. When you had one belt, there was no choice but to go through the ruler. But now, its too easy to duck, and fans and networks let it slide too easily.

Luckily we have HBO, to force fights, and I believe that is what will be required.

Not.

Even.

Close.

How can he be the most avoided when Ward is constantly inviting him to fight? GGG keeps running away from Ward.

How can Ward keep inviting him when Ward only recently decided to fight and was semi retired? And how can he invite him to fight when his proposed tune ups were all rejected by HBO forcing him to go fight on BET?

Again, I'm talking about fighters in their own division. Ward is not relevant, but your information is wrong anyway.

Yea he is constantly being avoided by a lot of guys who on paper have a more stellar resume. He definitely is not the most avoided of all time but people are going to keep avoiding him because
1. He is a serious threat
2. Does not provide huge reward

It's really not his fault. If he were the lineal middleweight champ and would rightfully have gotten a shot at it with Martinez or Cotto then he'd have a bargaining chip to dangle in front of other boxers. But he doesn't and is the top guy at 160 obviously, but on paper he will always be number 2 with Kneeguel holding the lineal.

No

Currently, rigo is more avoided

[Outwest Exp 355]

He's not the most avoided fighter of all time because there are guys out there that want to fight him. He just can't get the fights he wants.

All we need is a time machine and he can go fight Charley Burley.
