    People were very frustrated at the time.

    Sure, Lennox won fair and square, but many people saw it as unsatisfactory ending.

    Although it wasn't a clash of heads that caused the cut, Lewis was fading and Vitali was ahead.

    Vitali was devastated as he was desperate to continue.

    Before the fight, Lennox was open to having another 2-3 fights.

    Afterwards, he said he'd give Vitali the rematch.

    The whole boxing world was desperate to see it.

    Lennox then retired.

    Years later, he confirmed that his mother had made him promise to retire.

    You can't really blame him, but if you were watching back then, it was a huge blow to the fans.

    He didn't duck random testing.

    He wanted a cut off due to the Morales fight.

    I think Collins had lost all motivation. But he should never have left it so late to cancel.

    Roy deserves criticism for not fighting Nunn in 1997.

    How did Tyson duck Wlad and AJ?

    He spent 3 years out due to drug abuse and mental health issues and has just recently got himself back to the top.

    Pulled out of a rematch against Wlad and used a foot injury as exuse then went over to the Euros getting pissed jumping uo and down sining his his own name.

    Turned down a 40% split to fight AJ

    The Canelo-GG duck was shameful, but I truly believe that it was Oscar.

    The most cringeworthy part, was when in the post fight interview after the Khan fight, Oscar told Tom Loeffler to stand by his phone the following week.

    Regarding Ward, he's not come back.

    Regarding Eubank, it was Snr's ego that stopped that fight from happening.

    Frazier and Norton were friends and Wlad and Vitali were brothers there`s no way they could beat the crap out of each other.

    Eubank was nowhere near GGG`s level.

    Brook took shots of a hard punching middle like GGG,Khan`s been knocked out by a lightweight and couldn`t take anything off Canelo, his chin was glass.

    Hiya mate, we've discussed this a few times already.

    I don't think GG would ever have moved up to face Andre and I don't think he'd ever have beaten him. But if you look at the timelines the fight wasn't at all viable.

    GG had a fight with Lemiuex lined up, and he was in line to fight the winner of Canelo-Cotto at the start of the following year. At the time, he couldn't have known how much Oscar would have messed him around.

    Nobody in GG's shoes at the time, would have jeopardised that fight by going and fighting somebody at the above weight class.

    The time for the fight would have been the following year just after facing and beating the winner of Canelo-Cotto.

    Also, Andre had been inactive and he doubted whether or not he could still comfortably make SMW. He would also have needed at least one more fight in the meantime.

    As we know, the following year saw Oscar mess GG around and Andre dip his toes into the waters at LHW.

    It can't be classed as a duck when he was out of the sport for 3 years. Its only a duck had he pulled out and fought somebody else.
