    Martinez isn't avoided. He's arguably the biggest name in his division. Chavez Jr. is the only one avoiding him.

    Angulo avoided him and Cotto elected not to fight him. Pretty sure there are others that I'm not thinking of at the moment.

    At JMW he was an avoided fighter. At MW though, not so much.

    Both of these guys are too big of names to be the most avoided fighter in boxing. Everyone but Bradley apparently will fight Khan. Most guys would fight Bute as well, as long as they get a fair offer. Guys that are truley avoided are dangerous fighters that don't bring in much money.

    That's why after someone mentioned it I started thinkin Gamboa's the most avoided. Not much gain and an almost guaranteed loss.

    Gamboa is actually one of the biggest names in his division. JuanMa is really the only guy that would avoid hm. I think Chris John is probably the most avoided fighter in that division.

    My thoughts exactly V. Klit was one round away from being blinded for life. The ref should be on his Christmas list.

    I would have to go with Sergio Martinez. Kelly Pavlik left the division rather than rematch him. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. doesn't want to go anywhere near him. Felix Sturm isn't leaving Germany any time soon to fight Mora. Seems like everyone in his division wants to fight someone other than him.
