    Floyd and Pac ducking eachother for years and years made them both filthy rich... constantly promising that the big fight is next or near and then cashing in against weaker opposition.

    Khan ducking Brook is the most blatant one of recent years.

    I agree pretty much. Jack vs Bivol would have been a good fight, which we will never see because Jack ducked. It's then up to the fans whether they want to continue supporting fighters who duck.

    Then Bivol just clearly ducked Sulivian Barrera in that case. Jack is going after Stevenson.. Whose Bivol fighting? Some Broadhurst guy nobody ever heard of.

    Ducking Ward isn't ashamed :), Ward is a dirty, sticky boxer who can't be won by a decision

    Only a shameless ggg nut rider would gloat about being ducked by a 39 y / o , one legged Sergio and career welter weight Cotto.
    Thought you can't duck anybody who isn't in your weight class dummy? Cotto's fights at the full MW limit= Zero.

    Sturm ?? Who cares who Sturm ducked , that guy ducked Everybody. He blatantly ducked Abraham when it was one the biggest and most demanded fights in the division. That was a bigger and more significant duck than GGG who was a non-factor. Are we going to talk about how great Arthur is cos he was ducked by the mighty boxing God - Felix Sturm? :facepalm:

    You best hope that GGG gets fights made with Charlo and Sergiy Derevyanchenko because if they don't he'll be labeled a ducker like you just labeled those guys duckers.

    Dude, they almost robbed Ward in the S6 finals. Two judges had it 115-113...
    and lets not forget the infamous: "Il fight anyone from 154-168" quote.

    surely it was the WBA who made that fight? i doubt Bivol has the kind of clout to dictate to the WBA who hes fighting for the vacant title

    I know but GGGod should easily be able to know put a 168lber I mean out, Kovalev got put down by GGG and GGG be knocking out them heavies!!! GGGod was suppose to knock out Jacobs he got lucky, then he was gonna knock out Cinnamon but he felt pitty on that weak chinned red head due to the earthquakes in Mexico.

    No , his promoter made that fight. Why would the WBA put #11 ranked Broadhurst over #2 ranked Barrera?

    then the WBA would've intervened wouldnt they, its a vacant belt, Bivol cant make a fight, it has to be ordered

    Edit: just read it wasn't vacated, Bivol was promoted to regular champion, he picked Broadhurst

    According to all G fans, yes and soon you'll hear talk of how he's ducking the rematch
