    To me a duck is when you turn down the biggest fight in the history of the sport over some blood work. if you have nothing to hide, why couldnt you agree to the testing considering this is the biggest gate in the sport to be made.

    I see what he saying
    Everybody wants to fight the Champion
    The Champion has more options then the contender
    the contender dream is to get rich and beat the Champion
    the Champion dream is half way achieved the other half is to mkae the most money possible and the most money isnt always with the toughest contender but its almost always close enough the casual fan knows whos who
    hardcore boxing fans expect Champions to fight unknown people and everybody and they momma
    he didnt become a Champion by fighting unknown People

    Champion gets to choose who he wants to fight and its always who the casual fan wants them to fight because thats where the money is

    People like to accuse big names of ducking lesser known fighters, but what would happen if the tables were reversed. All i can see as a duck is someone who refuses a fight against someone ahead of him. And if it's cause he's'not ready yet then i don't call that a duck either

    IMO real "ducks" rarely happen. Considering the egos, negotiation difficulties, boxing politics, and all those other things that happen before a fight, there are a lot of valid or acceptable (irritating as they may be) reasons for some fights not happening. It's hardly ever simple black and white.

    One example of true ducking that I can think of is when the timing is right (that is both are prime or close enough to it and the schedules are in alignment), the money is right and 1 fighter agrees to all demands by the other fighter and for some reason the fighter that made the demands still doesn't want the fight... that's ducking.

    A duck is when a fighter in his prime sees another fighter in his prime , within the same division and will do everything not to fight him.

    I personally thought Hatton ducked Witter. There was absolutely no reason that fight didnt happen.

    to be honest alot of these fighters try making a name off calling out guys they know not even on they radar
    why the **** a 20 million dollar fighter gonna fight a 5 million dollar fighter?
    a got damn no time great. Couple good wins thats it

    For example A.P talked all that **** bout wooping floyd ass in sparring, and I couldnt wait to see him fight last week. I never saw him fight, so im like he kicked floyd ass lets see what the talk is about, fight to a got damn draw with ortiz??? I was like what in D **** did I just watch!. glad khan and maidana was on the card real ****ing champions

    Another Example Margarito calling out Floyd, I had no clue who he was I didnt know him Either until he mentioned a big name. 1st fight I saw him in got beat by Williams. Williams is an overrated 1 demensional fighter. I thought margarito as poo he did beat cotto tho. but I have cotto on the same level.

    Like you know anything
    I remember you said Pac was scared of Margarito and was gonna fake a last minute injury to pull out of the fight.

    A duck is when you avoid the biggest fair challenge at your position in the division.
    Examples:
    -haye not fighting klitschko: duck
    - if alexander starts knocking everyone out but khan wont face him that is a duck
    - sonny liston if he never fought ali would have been a duck
    - hearns and leonard both owning 147 leonard ducked him before they eventually fought.

    thats ducking

    Chisora claiming wlad ducked him is bull****,if khan now would say floyd is ducking him its bull**** etc.
