    I heard Wilder leaned to distract with the left and follow with the right while sparring with Wlad problem is unlike Wlad it`s the only move Wilder has. Haye ducked Wilder when they sparred everytime Wilder punched so he didn`t land anything I don`t know if that was when Haye was meant to fight Wilder who had beaten which contender for Vitali, Wlad or Haye to fight him? Wilder wants equal money according to him to fight AJ problem is he doesn`t break records in his home country filling stadiums so why should he be payed an equal amount?

    Winky was great but who avoided him? I think his arms would have been too long for Mayweather to move up and fight him he`s not Conor he had a masterful jab and Floyd`s reach is small even for a welter something Conor exploited for a few rounds in their lesser bout.

    Guillermo Chakal Rigondeaux

    Five belts and not one professional prize fighter even challenged him.

    The man had to give up two weight classes to even get a fight.

    THIS IS TRUE FEAR.

    After he put Wilder on **** Street twice and took all of Wilder best bombs, nobody was going to risk him again...

    Lucky for Wilder, The Worm was paid handsomely to sit on his stool..

    Providnikov was avoided til he was pushed right out of the sport for the most part. Sad thing is the guys who took fights against him "beat" him. N still no one would sign to fight the guy. Most avoided ever? I'd say no but in recent years he was at the top of that list.

    I say Joshua's stiff ass. When it's all said and done, he will be the most avoiding fighter ever in the history of boxing. The lowballing stooge, wait...oh it says "who is the most avoidED", lmao. I thought that it was "the most avoiding fighter". My bad lol.

    Sven Ottke,Trying to win a decision against him in Germany would have obviously been main reason if it were true but I've heard arguments including on here of people like Roy Jones purposely avoiding him as reason he never fought any top P4P fighters during his unbeaten career .

    Its a shame we didn't get to see him against somebody like Joe Calzaghe who apparently recently did admit to ducking him

    Tony Magarito and Paul Williams used to be the most avoided fighters in boxing during their prime.
    But the most avoided boxer of all time was Ernie Shavers AKA the Black Destroyer who hit hardest in the HW Division.

    Harry Wills, though.

    #1 HW contender by every publication for 5 years. Never got his shot. The color line was real.

    Other shout outs from that era are Joe Jeannette and Sam McVea...

    Beterbiev and Rigo are the right example nowadays how bad management + fear works. 8 years 17 fights for Rigo and 4 years -12 figths for Beterbiev is really poor.
