Is Alvarez's "I don't like him" a valid reason for not fighting somebody?

[R-C]

After fighting GGG twice and beating him, yes it is valid.

[mxtali]

It’s not a duck, considering he already fought the man twice, when people claimed he wouldn’t EVER fight him. And also considering people said GGG was old in the first fight, and 2 years have passed since then, Canelo would get zero credit for fighting him.

[boliodogs]

Yes he did. He said before he backed out of the rematch. Some interview where they asked him if he was going to invite Horn out for breakfast like he did Bradley.

Cong**** for being the only American fan of that bragging,dirty fighting Horn. Pac beat the hell out of Horn and got robbed. Since then Horn was slaughtered by Crawford and hardly landed a punch. Pac won that fight by a mile and a rematch is uncalled for. Crawford reduced Horn back to being the nobody he was before the great Australian robbery of Pac. Why in hell would Pac waste one of the few remaining fights he has left on Horn?????? It's not a fight anybody but you and Horn want. It is not a big money fight and it does nothing for Pac because everybody but you already knows he would slaughter Horn.

If it is, how can we say any fighter ever ducked another fighter?
I read comments where fans will say how this fighter ducked another fighter, with zero evidence, and here we have Alvarez admitting he don't want to fight Golovkin and fans say it's no duck.
Maybe not, but if that's the case the only time you could call a fighter avoiding another guy a duck, would be if that fighter comes right out and says,"I want to make this crystal clear, I've decided to duck Mr.X"

It is invalid to say a fighter ducked someone he fought TWICE. By definition, he did not duck him.

It’s like saying I ducked going to work last week when I showed up every day.

The only reason he fought GGG twice is because he had to to get the titles. He had everything to gain and nothing to lose. Now he has the titles and he won't fight him because he has everything to lose and nothing to gain. So what if GGG is 2 years older? So is Canelo. Is Canelo so god damn wonderful that he doesn't age? Canelo turned pro at age 15 and was a pro before GGG turned pro. He has had many more pro fights than GGG. Because GGG KOs so many guys so quickly Canelo has fought 400 rounds as a pro compared to only 200 rounds for GGG. Canelo has much more boxing mileage on him than GGG. Canelo s the one slowing down with bad knees and it showed in the Jacobs fight when he only managed throwing 400 punches all fight. GGG threw 650 punches at Jacobs. Canelo will likely lose a fight before GGG does even though he will never fight GGG.

You're about the biggest hypocrite I've seen.

You say Horn robbed Manny yet don't want a rematch and think the score is settled, then SECONDS LATER you're arguing for a Golovkin to get a rematch because the score isn't settled despite people saying he got robbed.

Do you not listen to yourself and how you sound? You're a prime hater in the finest sense.

You're such an idiot my lord, Pac was the guy who was robbed but he doesnt care about that fight anymore, do you not get that? GGG was robbed but he does actually want the rematch, hence why it should happen. Along with the fact that there's no one else on his level in the division he's in. You're an idiot, I don't even hate on any of these fighters, I didnt hate on any of them. You're just a fool who deserves all the sh.it that gets flung your way. Can't even use your brain for a fuc.king second clearly.

GGG-canelo 1 was a draw and, as champion, GGG gave canelo a rematch. canelo got the nod in the second fight (fair or not) and it was canelo who, unlike GGG, didn't give the last one a rematch.

[Real King Kong]

I don't think it is the real reason he won't fight GGG. The fight was almost made but GGG refused to fight him in Vegas because of the bias scoring of the first two fights. That was the deal killer. Canelo and Oscar refuse to fight GGG outside of Vegas because they are not confident of victory in a neutral city. Canelo won't ever fight GGG outside of Vegas for fear of losing and any other reason is just a BS excuse. Canelo's get a belt and then I'll fight you is just more BS. GGG will probably be the IBF world middleweight champion on October 5th. Canelo will still never fight GGG.

I don’t think ggg’s side ever said fighting in Vegas is a deal breaker...they just expressed they’d rather fight somewhere else. I don’t think there was ever any intention to fight ggg in September. The 2nd fight was the toughest fight of canelo’s career despite ggg’s age...they know age is on canelo’s side and stand to benefit from waiting longer.

GGG fans claim he’s scared and ducking

The SAME fans would complain that GGG was old after Canelo whips him in a 3rd fight

Ridiculous

So you're saying, if the fighters have fought before, by definition, it can't be a duck.
What is the definition of a duck?
