Isn't Weight Division Hopping a Form of Ducking?

[SugarRayCurtain]

Ah, ok. I didn't know the weight was hurting him like that. Thanks for the info...

lmao please

Carl shamelessly ducked Rigo because his style was supposedly boring
Who the hell doesnt face the best in their division because they think the opponent is not exciting?

LSC ducked Rigo because Al Haymon told him not too and apparently the fans werent interested

Dont believe anything else, both Frampton and LSC blatantly ducked Rigo because their management teams were terrfied that their fighters would lose. End off.

FWIW, most would disagree. Frampton's move was considered one of the biggest ducks of the last few years. People go on about that all the time. Leo could face the same criticism but, I think he might have an excuse as he looked like he needed to go up, to me at least.

Yeah, man. I've been hearing about that duck over and over which is why I commented. I like Frampton myself but a duck is a duck. LSC probably did. He's always looked a bit gaunt. I remember El Terrible looked like he needed an IV in the first Barrera fight. In that case, you have to move up.

Well that's a shame. Besides, they already lost to each other. Didn't preserve any "0s". Ha.

Don't know.
I sure feel like Canelo is ducking GGG by dropping.
Duckers usually don't have to go to such lengths though, just look at Billy Joe.

Yeah, that guy needs to start defending or drop his belt. Pretty ridiculous. I wish Andy Lee had fought Golovkin instead when he had the belt.

No weight hopping from GGG and it seems to be paying off...

If there was one recognized middleweight title, BJS would be forced to.

I think faking retirement then coming back after the division cools off is more ducking than jumping weight classes.

Perfect response!

Perception is everything and most fans have short memories. I can recall a certain fighter who retired in order to avoid a rematch and retired in order to avoid a prime crop of killers in his division and waited until they softened one another up before coming back.

I have that same memory.
