    Most obvious cases of ducking in modern boxing?

    Which are the most obvious cases of ducking in modern boxing?

    While I think Frampton would have a good chance at beating Rigo, he is just running scared from him now.

    Canelo is probably the most obvious case, having made his own weight class to avoid Golovkin.

    Stevenson just doesn't seem like he wants to fight anyone good, especially not Kovalev.

    Those are just 3 among many examples.

    And let's not forget how Lomachenko was waiting for an excuse to not fight Walters.

        If Lara is open to fighting Golovkin and Golovkin instead chooses guys like Dominic Wade, then yeah, Golovkin is definitely ducking him.

            Ward ducking Badou Jack and James DeGale and fighting in general. Two fights in 4 years? Lara ducking Jacobs, Saunders, Charlo and any top 10 154 pounder for the last two years. GGG can't duck Ward because Ward outweighs him nearly 20 pounds. GGG can't duck Lara because he is 10 times better than Lara who almost lost to Angulo and never beat a middleweight ever.

              Mayweather retiring to duck broner.

              Mayweather was obsessed with Rocky records and he wanted to shatter it, but like mayweather said himself he knew broner was gonna come for him, and what happened last time somebody had mayweather shook in real life (margarito) he retired, same thing here broner has him shook in real life and mayweather retired.

                  Bowe - Lewis
                  Ottke - everyone
                  Cotto - Golovkin
                  Canelo - Golovkin
                  Stevenson - Kovalev
                  Quigg/Frampton - Rigondeaux

                  Almost added BJS - Golovkin, but realised that would make my list very GGG heavy! Also, if he fights him as he's claiming he wants to do soon then fair enough, although I'm not convinced he really wants it.

                  It's also very topical. The ducks of the past fade to black mostly when thinking about current events - except the Bowe - Lewis one of course :-)

                    Bowe Lewis was the most obvious one. Big money fight that was never made as Bowe didn't want any part of Lennox after losing to him in the Olympics and dropped the WBC belt to avoid him. Shame
