    For the second time flores turns down a fight with Godfrey see the whole article on fighthype.com....why do people say they are the best but won't fight to prove it? you say your the best fight the best period! it is the only way to get to the number one spot. boxing is bout money but it should also be about proving to the world that you are the best that is worth more than any amount of $$ in my ineyes

    Godfrey would KO him. BTW what happened in Godfrey's last fight? I didnt see it, who is that guy who beat him?

    What would Flores have to gain by fighting a no-name coming off a loss? Flores is ranked #2 by the IBF, and Godfrey isn't ranked by them at all. Doesn't seem like ducking to me. For someone to duck, there actually has to be a reason to fight the person other than pride.

    Expect Flores to fight cupcakes and C raters until he gets his mandatory shot, unless he gets a chance for a money fight before then.

    Only guy talking sense in here. :good

    You're BJ Flores. You just beat a top 10 Ring mag fighter. Youve fought on ESPN before. You dont get paid too well on ESPN. Then you get a call from Godfrey's desperate manager: "Listen BJ let's make it happen on ESPN, take a paycut and give Matt a shot, what do you say?"

    Flores has bigger fish to fry. If he cant line up a big one soon he will just continue staying active against lesser fighters, he's already earned the #2 ranking with the IBF. No need fighting good fighters for peanuts in the meantime.
