    I'd go with Roy Jones Jr.

    Steve Collins
    Gerald McClellan
    Dariusz Michalczewski
    Chris Eubank
    Joe Calzaghe
    Bernard Hopkins
    James Toney

    He ducked them all.

    He was a blatant ducker. Which tarnishes his legacy. He was a great boxer, but how people can say he was the greatest when he was also an utter coward and who weaselled his way out of so many fights is beyond me.

    He ducked Calzaghe after Calzaghe beat Eubank. He ducked the initial Hopkins rematch whilst both in their prime. Likewise a rematch with Toney.

    Calzaghe just won the WBO which wasnt respected at the time, no way would Calzaghe have fought jones right after. the perfect time for them to have fought would have been before roy left for heavyweight

    Toney got beat by Griffin and Thadzi after Jones

    Hopkins wanted more money

    Gotta hate those who say RJJ ducked certain fighters, but fail to bring up one fighter he did indeed duck, Michael Nunn. Who was his mandatory and the organisation ordered for that fight to be done, in 98' I think?
