    Floyd Mayweather ducked many boxers, including Kostya Tszyu, Joel Casamayor, Antonio Margarito, and Paul Williams.

    Paul Williams style, work-rate and stamina would have been very difficult for Floyd. So Floyd just retired for three years (after getting Ricky Hatton to move up in weight and fight him in his home town with the notoriously dodgy Joe Cortez to help out).

    Good point forgot about the Bellew Breidis duck. Him and Hearn poo'ed it when he fought on the Flores card.

    Fury ducked Ustinov...saw him at the press conference and didn't want none of the bigman!

    Ricky Hatton ducked Witter...would of been a great fight at the time too.

    1. Pick a fighter.

    2. Name a fighter who was active during that time who they never fought.

    3. Say the first fighter ducked the second.

    It's a business. Nobody does it pro bono.

    Tyson Fury v Wlad 2 was all but on in the U.K. with press conference ect,given the drugs test hadn’t yet been mentioned albeit struggling to drum up interest by the U.K. public for a large football ground fight imo he didn’t half cancel that fast and run off in the knowledge that Wlad couldn’t possibly be any worse in the rematch than his efforts in Germany.

    Holmes against Thomas and Page.

    I use the term "duck" here loosely, but Louis did not fight Turkey Thompson, Jimmy Bivins (for the title), Lee Q. Murray, Lem Franklin, and Elmer Ray, and it is NEVER discussed.

    Lewis ducking the Vitali rematch after saying he would grant him one.

    Both disgraceful
