    Because certain actions overshadow everything. Like all people remember Mike Spinks for is the Tyson fight and Arguello for the Pryor fights. The highlight of Floyd's legacy is going to be how he shamelessly and disgracefully ducked Manny Pacquiao. It's the same for Haye.

    Anyone can become a coward at any time, even the bravest heart. It's a matter of overcoming fear which Hayeweather just can't do. Credit to theh massive skills of Pacquiao and the Klitschkos for striking such paralyzing fear in the heart of two good boxers.

    Good point on Riddick Bowe, his ducking of Lewis, aided by Newman was unbelievably shameful.

    Is Dapidran a coward for ducking drug tests?

    The biggest coward in boxing is Davexander Hayvetkin.

    While I do agree with the poster who said that no fighter is a coward, these two are hurting the sport they claim to love. The sport that has made each of them millions of dollars/pounds. Two of the biggest fights in recent memory and we can't see them because these guys don't want to fight.

    I agree to an extent but it doesn't mean it is a fair observation does it. I mean in my job I have extended my clients portfolio tenfold but today found out that a letter had been signed off and sent to 100 contractors with the wrong name, client and signature on it. ****ed things right up. Still in the long run I'd hope to be judged on what work I have done to date rather than a recent **** up.

    Inadvertent vs deliberate. I feel for ya though. Hope your contractors understand mistakes like that happen and you don't 'lose' too much over it.

    If they don't I shall don a t-shirt depicting my client's severed head. I sure as **** know he will not only see the mistake as deliberate, but the fault will lie at my door. Neither is the case of course. I may just tell him he has AIDS or something.

    Riddick Bowe throwing his title in the trash instead of fighting lennox lewis comes to mind. But at least bowe didn't talk all those trash and then go into hiding.:lol:

    Ilesy we all make mistakes and some huge blunders it's all part of being human. but Hayeweather aren'tmaking a mistake they are clearly running scared in the opposite direction, with rapid heartbeat, tail between legs, and uncontrollable anxiety and fear in their hearts. Good luck sorting out your situation.

    haven't watched boxing enough to know that 2 of the biggest duckers of all time, happened to be fighting at the same time.
