Ducker of the year?

[Madison Boxing]

Everything you post reeks of a sad, lonely man venting his frustrations. Just lighten up a little.

We had a lot of great fights and more to come. If you couldn't find something to like, then you're just a ggg fan, not a boxing fan.
Salido Vargas, Frampton Santa, Loma Walters, Ward Kovalev, Usik Glowaki, the Pac fights are meaningless but fun, Thurman Porter, Easter Comey, etc, etc, etc. We missed out on some big ones but it's still been a decent year.

Just because ggg had an embarrassing year doesn't mean boxing ******.

its been a ****ing **** year for boxing which is why im venting my frustrations, in space of a week or so weve had two good fights going down the toilet cause of ducking (wlad v joshua, jacobs v GGG). can call me sad and lonely i dont care, im not going to pretend its been some amazing year of boxing, been a load of crap to be honest for the most part.

every pbc fighter wins this one so its a tie between them all

hahaha good point

Lol @ people saying GGG is ducking anyone. These fighters are scared *****less of this dude. I don't get how you can deny it. Then say gay ish like Lil G or G strings. I swear GGG can be on my team.

Go Cubs

We're going to do it tonight bro!

Baseball should be like boxing. Look Kershaw, you are just too good. Can you pitch right handed tonight and we'll play you. Otherwise, we are not going out there.

2016- the year of the duck. With a few exceptions most of the fights havent happened and its been a bad year for the sport. Ducking is one of the worst things a boxer can do, although strangely its often praised on this site, with the fighter being ducked the fighter who gets the blame. So who do people think is ducker of the year 2016.

The obvious favourite is canelo, with his 'mexicans dont **** about' testosterone fuelled speech before deciding to vacate and fight at a lower weight. He has also conveniently decided that 154 is not for him now demetrius andrade has been made his mandatory. Ducking fighters in two divisions takes some beating but there are a number of other contenders.
Adonis stevenson and danny garcia have followed up strong ducking performances in 2015 by avoiding any threats in 2016, with the name of errol spence bringing garcia up in a rash.
Two old timers have also done their best to show they can cherry pick with the best of them, manny paquiao deciding jessie vargas (the guy who lost to the guy pacquiao last fought) was a more suitable opponent than p4p ranked terence crawford. Wladimirs apparant lifelong dream of regaining the wba title led him to change his mind at the last minute and fight unheralded lucas browne instead of joshua in what would have been a huge heavyweight clash.
Eubank jr losing his pen and adopting the stance of not fighting anyone above domestic level is surely worth a mention, whilst danny jacobs has thrown his name into the mix by suddenly deciding he needs a tune up against golovkin despite having just fought a tune up level opponent.
David Haye and Deontay Wilder have also not covered theirselves in glory this year with their choice of opponents, whilst bille joe saunders has done his best to kill any momentum from previous years by scheduling one fight against world number 30 artur akavov

I was going to include a poll with this but having written the above theres far too many names to include and i cant believe how many cases of ducking theres been this year. Im sure i must have missed some names out, so who have i missed out, and what fighter do you think has been the worst ducker this year, or is it hard to narrow it down to one fighter?

GGG (a small middleweight) turning down 10 million to fight 5'7 Canelo is the years best duck.

Not sure about the year but "Ducker of the decade" nominees are in.

Boxers that ducked/ducking GGG, fyi all of these are/were world champs.

1. Sturm --- wouldn't fight him for over 2 years when GGG was mandatory to him.

2. Quillin --- said he will only fight for the may-pac kind of money, lol + he flew to Haymon to avoid GGG

3. Martinez --- "His promoter said that "no way I am putting him with this monster", GGG kept calling him out after his U.S. debut after every fight

4. Cotto --- ducked his mandatory(GGG) twice by fighting Geale and Canelo

5. Chavez jr --- Turned down 12mil offer by TR

6. Canela --- Avoided his mando(GGG). Thinks that he is fighting at the weight-class of 155, as there is no such thing as a "155 weight-class" ,he is pretending to be not in the MW division because of GGG. There are 17 divisions just pick one, if you can't make 154 then you are a MW, simple. And then he dropped the belt when he had to fight GGG next, wow

7. Froch --- After calling GGG out then when GGG accepted ,he backed down and now he is retired after making all the fuss, + GGG was calling him for more than a year b4 he was retired so no excuses for "retiring". Carl said in a SkySports interview he will swerve GGG like the plague, he punches like a mule and there's no point getting in the ring with someone like him.

8. Ward --- The diva of the 168lb division don't want to travel or meet the a-side GGG in a catchweight so he can become a good boy and get ktfo. Was willing to goto 160 for Floyd but when GGG said 164, Ward ducked + he was fine when Dawson came down a whole division for him but wont move half a division for GGG, smh

9. Saunders --- Even before winning the WBO title from Lee his fear of Golovkin was as biright as day this is just one of many interviews(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJuwAz-ekoQ), then after winning it he priced himslef out at 6 mil$. Then turned down $3.2mill offer from k-2(its 2.2 gbp)

10. Eubank jr --- Very similar to Froch's duck of GGG, after calling GGG out he lost his pen when he had to sign

11. Jacobs --- asked for a life changing money and then said he need 18 months , lol gtfoh. now finally "called out" GGG then when time came to sign, "crickets"

12. Njikam --- When Hassaan was WBO champ, he was ordered to a purse bid to face Golovkin no less than two times and he was a no show each time.

13. Barker --- When Barker defeated Geale to become IBF champ, his promoter openly said that he will fight any1 except GGG, Golovkin offered to fight him in England practically free, his only demand was for them to give Team Golovkin 10 FREE tickets, Barker ducked.

14. Mundine --- Another blatant ducker, google it.

15. Soliman --- Soliman won the IBF title in 2014 from Sturm, immedietly after winning the title he called out GGG, then GGG fought his countryman Geale. He saw the fight and changed his mind stating he will NOT fight GGG after what he saw.

16. Zbik --- Just like sturm, protected by Universum.

The same way GGG didn't want to meet Canelo's catchweight.....for TEN million.
