      Not only has it never been this bad, never before have you had so many people defending it.

        Bowe ducked Lewis and Thurman tried his best to duck Porter, although I think Keef has a shot at beating Porter (picking the midget though).

        Yeah, the example of wilder/pov was **** though.

        Anyway, his overall message is right, ducking is now the norm not the exception.

          No.

          Bowe ducked Kewis and that's it.

          Thurman didn't duck Porter.
          Povetkin didn't duck Wilder. He tried to chat, but he didn't duck him.

          So, no. The term duck just gets thrown around way too casually.

            Why didn't De La Hoya get a rematch with Froid? Quack! Quack!

            Why didn't Froid fight Kostya Tszyu? Quack! Quack!

            Acelino Freitas and Joel Casamayor are two other names associated with people Floyd “ducked!”

            There are more but why bother!

            What we should be talking about is the manipulation of weight! That's the real bad guy!

              Last I checked canelo was middleweight champ with a successful title defense vs khan.. How can him and GGG not be in the same weight class.. Canelo hasn't fought at 154 in awhile

                Why are you mentioning stuff I have already explained? Either add to the discussion or gtfo my forum peasant.

                  Canelo is about as real a MW champ as Pac was a SWW Champ. They weren't real champs since they both captured those belts at catchweights, paper titles. Casuals don't really understand catchweights.

                  Canelo hasn't weighed officially or consistently at 160 for any of his fights, hasn't scheduled a fight at 160 and hasn't fought or beat a real MW.

                  What he should of done was let go of the belt after he beat Cotto because that confused a lot of casuals unfortunately.

                    I agree that he should have just vacated after beating cotto... But he didn't, and defended vs a glass chin welter.. And his past few fights have been all above 154..

                    Canelo *****ed out when it came to ggg

                      Don't forget the longest duck of all.

                      GGG ducking Lara for the last two years.
