    That time De La Hoya refused to come down to the hotel lobby to see why a drunk Lazcano was shouting about wanting to legit murder him. Probably the best duck of all time.

      James Degale ducking Uzcategui. He would have ended his career with a nasty ko loss.

        Ducking is among the dumbest things boxing fans talk about. Right up there with P4P. Boxing is far too complicated, the intricacies with making fights too unknown & there are lotsa quality guys one could be fighting at any given time for ducking to be legitimate the overwhelming majority of the time if not 99% of the time.
        sure you can. just look at wilder vs whyte. wilder would probably win but its crystal clear they want no part of him. look at the way the wbc treated whyte. giving breazele the mandatory even though whyte was ranked above him and tried to fight breazele. this is more of a political duck though because pbc wants to make sure their guys get the shots and everything stays in house

          I know you’re playing devils advocate but if someone actually used that argument i don’t think it works like in the Bradley Khan case.
          i think he was saying bradley didnt duck khan because signing to fight pac is obviously a lot better fight but maybe i misinterpreted him. khan should have lost to algeiri. algeiri landed the much cleaner harder shots but its boxing so we know what happened there.

            But if a guy ducks an entire division and goes fight a heavyweight lol how does that make up for ducking guys in your division?

            But i will agree with the part of them not ever having real offers to fight i guess

              If you agree with a duck, then it's not a duck.

              Sometimes it's just common sense. People were saying Ortiz is being ducked when it just doesn't make sense to fight him.

                Then ducking doesn't exist. Cuz everyone has their reasons. Why get destroyed by fighter A when i can feast on fighters Y and Z

                  Manny ducking Shane Mosely.

                  After knocking out Margarito shane was the hardest hitting guy at 147. He would have taken Mannys head off so I agree with avoided Shane at all cost and waiting until someone beats him first. Smart move from safety first Manny

                    bute didnt have a kessler or froch on his resume

                    ward asked him to beat one legit guy and he failed first time out...bute was a fraud....its been proven

                    ward is an unbeaten 2 weight champ....good luck with the rest of your pathetic life...im sorry ward showed everyone the size of golovkins raisin testicles...

                      underrated, and often forgotten, one right there...good call

                      after shane beat margs roach said theyd only fight shane at like 142 or something like that....shane actually went to wild card and said "you fought oscar at 147 and hatton"....and he roach said "you arent oscar or hatton"...

                      pac is a great...and has a great resume...but its apparent they didnt want any part of shane at that point
