You can't be the most avoided anything when there are fighters openly calling you out that you, for whatever reason, simply don't want to fight.
ward ducked bute and stevenson. who is avoiding him? ggg who's not even in his division might not want to fight him after ward has his tune ups? that's a pretty big stretch. we know ward turned down bute and stevenson because they had to prove themselves...enter rodriguez and smith the proven warriors!
also beterbiev was scared to fight chilemba so who is avoiding him?
Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0 / 30KOs 91% KO Ratio) Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev (27-0-1 24KOs 86% KO Ratio)
Keith “One Time” Thurman (25-0 / 21KOs 81% KO Ratio)
Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux (15-0 / 10KOs 67% KO Ratio)
Artur Beterbiev (9-0 9KOs 100% KO Ratio)
What do you think, whats your 5?
The ones I highlighted, HELL NO.
Kovalev has faced Pascal and hops, 2 of the leading LHWs around, who is avoiding him? It was Kovs team which turned down the Stevenson fight last I checked.
Beterbiev is a prospect.
Thurman hasn't faced anyone and is facing Collazo next, after going through the ganutlet of Guererro and Bundu lol
Rigondeaux is lazy and thinks he is a superstar.
GGG is openly being ducked by Cotto so I'll give you that.

In what way did Ward duck either Bute or Stevenson? Name one fighter that's putting on a pair of gloves right now that is saying "I want to fight Andre Ward".
You can try to build the Golovkin image all you want, Lara has had his hand up for that fight for a while now, and Andre Ward was ready to give Golovkin that work when team Golovkin started talking all that **** (don't have the link to the thread, but just recently a video interview from July 2014 was posted here, showing Golovkin turn nauseous with dread the moment that he even fathomed having o fight Andre Ward.
Artur Beterbiev is kind of a scary dude to go up against if you're a clincher... this dude can hit extremely hard and won't let you grab him. He's the future of LHW, Kovalev-Beterbiev would be a superb fight.
The rest I'm not sure. Too early to say Beterbiev is being avoided. Speaking of Beterbiev, he actually been calling out Kovalev! On top of Roc Nation contracting Duva twice now about Ward vs Kovalev behinds closed doors
GGG is avoided in the Middleweight Division absolutely however Lara and Ward both wants to fight him only problem is that neither is in his Division I guess.
As for Thurman, Spence Jr wants to fight him as does Erislandy Lara who called him out a few months ago and so did Shawn Porter and Devon Alexander.
So on that List i would only say Rigondeaux, the guys at 122 don't even mention Rigondeaux!
I agree with Ward as someone already posted. People had a lot to say when Ward was dealing with his Promotion issues, now that he is back complete SILENCE! Even DeGale sounded passive after he beat Dirrell, he just kept said "HE WON'T FIGHT ME!" but he never issued a challenge or anything. Pascal been talking but he did not issue a Challenge he just gave his opinion as far as if Ward comes up to 175
Terence Crawford at 140 I Haven't see anybody issue him a Challenge yet. Like Ward and Rigondeaux they all will just pretend like he is not in that Division I guess
Erislandy Lara! Stylistic Nightmare is likely why nobody is interested but besides Andrade, has anybody actually called out Lara at 154?
