Any comparable duck jobs in Boxing History to David Haye?

Funny, I don't remember him putting it quite like that.

 

I don't think there is any comparable duck in the entire history of boxing. Do you recall anybody who actually called for a fight being that obtrusive and when the possibility of the fight appeared the loud perosn rejected it?

 

Leonard was two weightclasses below Hagler when both were in their prime. Hagler wanted and needed the fight much more than Leonard. haye atlked about taking on the Klitschkos from the beginning.

Leonard had a detached retina shorten his career.

Leonard eventually DID fight Hagler, sure, many say Hagler was past it, but Leonard had one mediocre fight in five years, no reason to assume he was in his prime.

Can't be compared with Bowe - Lewis, or Haye - Klitschko. If Haye does fight a Klitscko, it will chance everything of course.

 

The only comparable duck job without a shred of a doubt was Pongsaklek Wonjongkam refusing a rematch against Koki Kameda after winning a robbery decision.

 

I think he's going to fight them. The people over at The 0 blog have been hyping the Klitschko brothers and how great they are, how they should finally get their due etc. which is the exact opposite of their usual routine of how boring they are, the dead HW division...

 

Probably Wlad ducking Haye


sorry but many posters form Great Britain thinks that way so i believe them

 

everybody ducking sam langford because they were ****ing terrified of him

 

hopkins ducking calzaghe in 2001. hopkins agreed a deal of $3m for calzaghe to go to the states and fight him only to double his outrageous demands to $6m after a prior agreement, pricing himself out of the fight.

hopkins then went on to fight a sanatation worker in in his next fight dor $500'000. ***gott.

 

This may shock you, but Hagler was two divisions above Ray - why was Hagler chasing a fight with a much smaller man? It's not like he was Ray's mandatory. Fact was, Hagler wanted the biggest money out there and that was Ray. That's the only reason he pushed so hard for it. You can't duck someone you don't have to fight.

Well, Haye had his reasons. Injury and what amounted to a slave contract (three fights with Haye's money only coming from Setanta, who went bust and would have meant he was fighting for free) put paid to it. If Wlad and Vitali were SO keen to fight Haye, why not do it on even footing. Haye agreed to them having the lion's share of the purse both times, but the Klits wanted to lock him into a deeply unfair agreement.

That's not ducking, that's just good business sense.

 

the Fact that floyd is accusing someone who has never proved positive for steroids or peds of being on those things is pretty shameful as well :good

 

We have some straight up bitches on this forum...I never understood the logic in concerning yourself with supposed "ducking" jobs. You're not at the negotiating table. You have no idea about the full facts...so I'd be nice if you all politely shut the **** up. Cheers.

 

in all fairness mormoeck wasnt a paper champ he was ring champ also as well as bein wbc wba cruiserweught champ

 

Since I am entirely not buying the David Haye ducking the Klitschkos thing until I hear an offer that the Klitschkos are peddling, since they have been called Low Ballers before.

But the biggest duck in the history of the Sport was Riddick Bowe dumpstering his WBC belt in order to avoid a mandatory showdown with Lennox Lewis.

 

for F**** SAKE its BARELy been a few MONTHS since he beat ruiz! how the fff can u compare this to other long term duckings which have gone on for YEARS! get real idiots this haye hatred is getting totally out of control! I agree hes ducking wlad and its disgraceful but to say its the biggest duck ever??!! blind hatred right there

 

The Klitschkos were exposed on the ropes boxing show last night by Chris Byrd for their slimey lowballing tactics, forced rematches and no tune ups for you while they got one.
