    Harry Greb, Ezzard Charles, hard to really say though, mostly everybody has a guy they avoided, or the fight just never happened.

    DLH pretty much ducked Winky Wright right?

    And does it count if u duck a rematch? Ali - Foreman for example...

    I mean if the hands down greatest fighter of all time duck Charlie Burley than what can u say?

    Carl Froch is a good shout but I think Cotto tops this era.. He fought Pacquiao, Mayweather and now Martinez..

    Juan Manuel Marquez? :blood

    He ducked Morales, he clearly said that he wants no part of Mayweather, and he chose Alvarado instead of Provodnikov.. If he's not ducking then he's definitely chickening out.. :conf

    Even Tito & Duran...management didn't seek Quartey and Pryor...as they were too much destruction for no rewards...both mutually avoided it in their prime

    Of course its the mildest forms of ducks, but shouldn't be overlooked :nono

    That said the correct answer is Hagler :deal

    Alexander ducked Brook last year when he pulled out "injured" amongst rumors of a Mayweather fight.

    Duran moved up with an eye to challenge Leonard at 147. I don't believe he jumped 2 weight classes to avoid Pryor. Plus he later fought Tommy Hearns at Tommy's best weight of 154. Now I'm pretty certain he didn't duck Pryor.
