The word duck is thrown out there far to often. People say that floyd ducked this one or that one but seem to forget (or never knew to begin with) that Floyd called out all the top names above him when he was king at 130 and 135. He called everyone out from Zu to Oscar to SSM. None of the big names wanted anything to do with Floyd . . . SSM turned down the fight two times but people say that it was floyd who did not want the fight. Once Floyd beat Gatti, then later Oscar everyone under the sun started calling him out. The only clear way to say one fighter ducked another is that it does not make financial sense in the short and long run. These guys do not fight for "shits and giggles", its how they make a living . . . In this framework it is easy to see that if do something that puts food on your table or a roof over your head, it may very well be a duck.
It's alleged that Lewis ducked Vitaly yes. However, can you duck somone who you just Ko'ed in 6 in your last fight and made his face look like a pizza? I don't see it a ducking but the amount of people who claim that Lewis ducked Vitaly certainly means that it should be on the list.
Pacquiao ducking Mayweather - saying no to a drug test and letting it get in the way of the biggest fight of an era has got to be up there.
Guy fights everyone ,Marquez fought him 4 times with out requesting extra drug testing , I think its clear who is ducking who and that's Floyd ducking Manny ..
#! all time and NO ONE cam argue if it was a duck or not. cant get anymore clear. the floyd haters that claim he "ducked" paq do NOT have 1 valid point that backs that BS up
#1 all time!!! and NO ONE can argue if it was a duck or not. cant get anymore clear. the floyd haters that claim he "ducked" paq do NOT have 1 valid point that backs that BS up... paq wasnt a mando but some had him as high as #2 p4p so it was for floyd haters to determine the true #1 spot which was always a forgone conclusion
ABC titles being stripped of legitimate champions for not facing unworthy challangers equals ducking? No it does not. In the case of Lennox Lewis vs Johnny Ruiz: Ruiz Never called Leiws out. When Lewis dropped his belt for Ruiz to pick up, Ruiz didn't complain that the fight didn't take place. Ruiz had beat nobody to earn his mandatory position. Infact Ruiz only became the mandatory challenger after it became obvious that Lewis could not be forced to fight Hepatitis infected Akinwande. I've never heard of a fighter becoming the mandatory challenger because the real mandatory challenger had a disease. As for Lewis VS Bowe: Lewis had beaten plenty of good contenders by the time that Bowe opted to put his titles into the trashbin.
WTF are you *****s on about not having anything to back up Mayweather's duck 1 "my health comes first" 2 You have 40m and i have all the ppv and revenue and probably earn 3 times as much as you. 3 Leave your promoter who you have a legal contract with 4 Take the blood test, "ok 14 day cut off point" Floyd "Manny has 5 losses no bluprint to beat me" 4 The latest won "Manny only wants me to pay his taxes" "Manny lets fight for charity" Floyd still refuses a ****ing ****** could figure this out their is a reason everyone bar floyd nutthuggers say he ducked the fight and not Manny, because its the truth! as soon as one barrier is crossed floyd puts up another to stop the fight Mayweather is an absolute coward of a man and a disgrace to boxing not fit to lace SRL or SRR boots imagine Leonard ducking Hearns this is what the equivalent of floyd's actions is.
Yeah I've never really understood why Pacquiao gets such a big pass from people on forums like this, and boxing journalists / pundits. The drug testing duck is easily the biggest 'crime' of the whole Mayweather / Pacquiao farce.
Who has the history of cheating on the scales ? What about the count down clock Arum gave Floyd ? Floyd went on vacation.
Why does Manny get a pass well ask anyone who's ever fought him! Not one of them Accused him on being anything except the Mayweathers that's why!
