    Some say he ducked a fourth fight with Burley.

    But what does that say about Zivic, that people criticize him for not fighting a guy a 4th time that most fighters didn't even wanna fight once?? :lol:

    Zivic is criticised for ducking Burley because he did it as soon as he won the title.

    Zivic's people bought out Burley's contract, sent him on the road, made it clear he would not get his shot. Burley moved up to 160.

    Zivic refused to fight Burley because he knew he would lose. He went to extraordinary lengths to avoid fighting him. That's a duck.
