    In hindsight, how disgraceful was this blatant duck?

    Some also believe that Marciano retired to avoid facing Jackson or Baker.

    Dempsey ducked Wills

    Leonard ducked Pryor

    Old George ducked everybody

    Bowe ducked Lennox

    Calzaghe ducked everybody

    Mosley ducked Mayweather

    Mayweather ducked Mosley

    Kessler ducked Green

    Dirrell ducked Ward

    Pacquiao ducked Cotto

    Ioka ducked Cuello

    Adamek ducked Pulev

    blah blah blah...

    Judge 'em by who they fight, not by who they didn't. A whole bunch of people would agree with all of my above list, and if they didn't they would be hypocrites in some way or another for having previously accused someone else of ducking by the same situation.

    One could say:

    "He refused to budge from his demands of a 150 pound catch weight in their negotiations for a rematch to take place in the first part of 2012. Everything was agreed to except Pacquiao's refusal to go up to the full 154 pounds. Pac then signed on to fight 140 pound champion Timothy Bradley."
