Are these the 5 most avoided fighters today?

i dont think kovalev is that avoided.
only superpimp is avoiding him.

rigo is...

dmitry kudrayshov wil be soon.


ko percent 100%

 

GGG and Rigo for sure

Not sure about the others

Too early to say for Artur 'The Steamroller' Beterbiev

what about Lomo? who needs that?

Maybe Khan. Been chasing Floyd forever, and Floyd say no noooo no

 

GGG
Rigondeaux
Ward
Thurman, although I am not sure why
Wouldn't say there was another that is really avoided

 

i would take these 2 out and insert ward and d andrade.

 

ggg, thurman, rigo, provo, roman gonzalez

 

Ward isn't avoided. He's too inactive to be avoided.

Beterbiev isn't avoided. He was supposed to fight Chilemba, but I think it was his team that didn't want to take the fight. (I think it had to do with the Gaymon signing).

Kovalev isn't avoided. Just Stevenson who ducked him originally, but Kovalev has no problem getting the fights he wants.

Andrade is by no means avoided. Lara wanted to face him, and it was he who backed out of the Charlo fight.

Thurman isn't at all avoided. Gaymon is the one holding him back like he did with Santa Cruz. Gaymon could've easily matched him with Porter instead of trying to feed Porter to Broner. We're getting poorly managed confused with avoided here.

I'd say:

Francisco Vargas. He hasn't had a shot at any of the titlist even after getting a string of good wins. Instead of fighting Vargas, Figueroa fights his left-overs, Belmontes. Guy has to get into a mandatory spot in order to get his shot.

Guillermo Rigondeaux. All three titlists don't want to fight him, sad.

Gennady Golovkin. No one at middleweight wants to fight this guy.

I can't name anyone else that is so blatantly avoided like these three.

 

Rigo for sure, the guy can't land ANY meaningful fights after raping Donaire

 

GGG, Rigo now. Lomo, Beterbiev and Usyk soon.

 

But The way GGG is avoided at MW... Sad and funny at The same time.

 

high risk, no reward.

 

Rigo for sure, as said the risk/reward ratio to fight him is so far out of line, even worse at the lighter weights that traditionally garner less attention. His style isn't one that attracts casual fans so he seems destined to remain avoided for now at least. :verysad

Ward was in a similar spot but S6 spotlight and a more accessible weight class got him into a position to get decent fights. His injuries, inactivity and unrealistic sense of self worth have put him back in a postion where he will struggle to get big fights unless he makes some concessions.

GGG is a funny one. Normally a fighter with his style and KO rate can force themselves into the equation by gaining a fanbase and some belts thereby being unavoidable as they are the cash cow of the division. He is just very unfortunate that all the decent name fighters around him are some of the handful of fighters who are even bigger draws than he is. Feels to me like a matter of time though before one of these guys (Cotto, Canelo, Froch etc) will have to take him on, if he wins then he becomes the draw and will have no problem making fights.
