Foreman ducking Holmes? I mostly have Larry Holmes word to go on, and I think he's biased Ali ducking a Foreman rematch
After he was destroyed by Margo. It is pretty clear Mosley was ducked by Pac's handlers. I think Pac will fight whoever they set him up with, but his handlers forced the duck. Roach flat told Mosley he was too dangerous.
If you want, you can argue that Leonard low-balled Pryor by offering him "only" $500,000. You can say it was relatively low considering Leonard was the opponent, but on the other hand, Pryor had just made $50,000 for beating Cervantes for the title. But the offer to fight Ray was there, unless Pryor just felt like talking about an imaginary offer from Leonard and an imaginary decline to this offer.

the worst case in British boxing history was McAvoy and Mills ducking Bert Gilroy! though it was really Mills' management in Ted Broadribb and the early associations between Harry Levene and Jack Solomons, between the 3 of them they owned every British fighter of note, but Broadribb was the Don and Solomons went on to be King!!! the fighters themself were willing and had little to do with it!!!
PBF was calling Oscar out almost 2 weight classes below him. I would not really call it ducking because Oscar would be in a no win situation. If he wins he beat up a little guy and if he loses . . . well he loses to a little guy. the biggest duck without a doubt is Bowe dumping the belt. that would have been the biggest payday he ever had and would have been a great career move so in the risk reward category it is win-win. I have no problem with fighters looking to maximize their winnings. If a fighter is not a big name and will not help progress your career, or if you are actively looking at a bigger fight.
