Did Ali, SRL, or RJJ duck anyone?

[sicko]

Ray Leonard was very Selective as far as who he fought and WHEN he would fight them like for example he talked about Taking the Immediate rematch with Duran because he knew Duran was a drinker and puts on a lot of weight and that he would struggle to make weight for the rematch. Also admitted on "Waiting For Hagler To Slow Down". Some would say he Avoided Aaron Pryor


Roy and Ali I don't think so. People avoided Roy, Benn said himself it was no shame being #2 to Roy Jones Jr

SRR lost by a very large amount to Ralph Jones at age 32 and never rematched him. It seems like he should have.

Ali fought everyone, even when he had Parkinsons he still think he gonna beat fighters in their prime lol... such confidence

Mike Weaver dude

I hear a lot about the alleged ducking Mayweather did, did those guys who were the GOATSs of the 70s, 80s, and 90s duck any great fighters during their career?

Jones ducked Dariusz Michalczewski.

Leonard made a career of taking mostly easy fights. He was the Mayweather of his day.

[Dr. Frank]

RJJ arguably ducked a prime Calzaghe.

And Sven Ottke.

Leonard ducked Hagler for five years. Ali ducked a Foreman rematch.

And Im pretty sure RJJ ducked G-Man, but I could have my timelines mixed up.

Don't get me wrong. Sugar Ray Leonard was inactive for 5 years, moving up and had a detached retina when he fought Hagler. He did admit to waiting for him to slow down though.

Bro, Leonard hired a private investigator to follow Hagler around and report back on when he was out of shape, etc.

I'll just say, nobody in the Fab 4 wanted anything to do with Mike McCallum. Roy had an opportunity to fight him in 91 and passed although he would fight him years later when Mike was at the end of the line

[Lomadeaux]

I'm not saying that he did, it's just what some people claim.

Okay thank god.

Okay thank god.

Lots of Calzaghe stans in the UK.
