Not in any particular order but here's a few, although Wilder is Undisputed #1. Deontay Wilder ducking AJ by turning down $100 mil from DAZN to fight Brezzy for $3mil - Duck of The Century. Canelo ducking GGG in 2016 by dropping the WBC belt Floyd ducking Prime Pac for 5 years Riddick Bowe ducking Lennox Lewis by dumping belt in trash Any more?
Hatton v Witter Kahn v Brook Them two fights are monumental ducks,HUGE infact !!!! Both pairs were British, both world level, both hated each other, same weight etc Hatton who I was a big fan of quite clearly didn't want the fight, and Kahn is another level too again with his excuses
Is the Wilder debacle number 1 though? After spending the best part of 2 years calling AJ a coward etc and then turning down how many contracts with how many excuses? The good thing is that people are finally waking up to this fraud and soon he won't be able to escape the pressure. Now hopefully people will question him publicly about his lack of cojones instead of using specially scripted interviews approved by Finkelstein first.
Heavyweight ATG Ducks. ( don't tell me they weren't unless you lived and were watching boxing in that time period ) 1. Deontay Wilder ( Joshua ) Avoided pay days over 7 times his worth and up to 120 million when highest earning was 7 million 2. Riddick Bowe ( Lewis ) Trash can incident 3. Foreman ( Holmes ) . Two heavy weight greats who never fought and Holmes was chasing him for years and in different decades and at one point calling him out of retirement as well. Made numerous call outs to Foreman. 4. Lewis ( V. Klitschko ) Promised a rematch and TRIED getting other fights after that one. Was also offered 50 million and demanded 100 million years late. lol 5. B. Douglas ( M.Tyson ) Ran like the wind to fight Holyfield instead of rematching the greatest upset in boxing history. note : All duckers at THIS here lose there fights ,so I don't blame them and its really sad the number one here is CURRENTLY active....... lol I didn't include guys who have actually fought ,but some ducked certain time period sthat I KNOW are facts but would turn into lengthy debates so I didn't bother.
Bowe and Lewis has merit, Tyson Douglas hasn't Tyson had legal problems, Lewis Vitali hasn't , Lennox was getting old and he knew it and still out of shape stopped Vitali. It was Holmes who pulled out of a fight with Foreman very early, claimed he had a wrist injury in the 70's
I agree with you about Douglas v Tyson, shouldn't be classified a ''duck' but for me Lewis-Klitschko is nearly as big a 'duck' as they come. Yeah it was late in Lewis career but I like Mike Tyson's view. "You win the title in the ring, you lose the title in the ring'. There has to be a 'true' successor, you gotta beat the champ.
Fury ducking Wilder is the biggest duck of the year. The next biggest duck will be when Manny ducks Spence.
Fury ducking Wilder rematch GGG ducking Ward and Lara Hatton ducking Witter Khan ducking Brook Oh and lol at the idiot who said Floyd waited 5 years to duck an wait for old Manny - very funny considering Floyd is older than Manny. You cant make up stupidity on this forum.
