    I give you Jermain Taylor.

    In the Hopkins fight, i'm sure there was a rematch clause. But against Winky, Taylor was willing to do the rematch but Winky chose not to. But his actions against Pavlik is the most telling. After getting brutally KOed, he jumped back in the ring within 5 months. Most people thought he should've taken a tune up.

    I think the guy is a bit too simple minded for his own good but i honestly don't think he has ducked or avoided anyone.

    Feel free to add yours.

    Didn't one of these guys just duck out of a rematch with the other one?

    Miranda is probably another guy who NEVER ducked or avoided another fight.

    Miranda ain't good enough to have the option of ducking anyone.

    Yeah, but it does count as "avoiding". Pacman clearly avoided JMM a third time. The right thing to do would've been to go with the trilogy to finally decide it.

    Did Pacquiao just duck out of a rematch with Marquez? Or not? I thought Marquez wanted it right away and Pacquiao decided to fight Diaz instead? Easier fight? Is that not a duck?
