    Khans one is a bit off aint it? He offered Prescott a rematch if he beat McCloskey but he lost, then he lost to Kevin Mitchell:patsch Then he just kept losing and losing until he was totally irrelevant.

    Khan is the one who offered Garcia the rematch 3 times and Garcia ducked.

    The Brook one is too early to call as a duck, it will happen in the future.

    Bradley should be on that list he clearly ducked Khan.

    Mosley was well past his best when Cotto fought him. He was still very good, but a far cry from the fighter he was pre-Forrest.

    Total BS. He had EVERY EXCUSE to duck Kovalev, and he still actively sought out the fight and broke the cold war barrier.

    Martinez wanted a fight with cotto long before he was a shell of himself, long before the boxing world was collectively wondering if hed ever be the same after his injuries and surgeries.

    I remember Cotto shrugging off Martinezs challenge citing money.

    Once Martinez looked the most vulnerable hed ever looked they were quick to make the fight.



    Not a duck... martinez was indeed a weightclass above... but still left a bad vibe with me.

    Thats boxing tho.

    Cotto ducked a rematch with Margarito until he knew Margarito's eye had been permanently damaged by Paquaio. Even though he had a one good eyed Margarito at his mercy he could not put him away. Cotto had to rely on the crooked NY doc tos save him the embarrassment of quitting AGAIN!!!

    Bernard is truly what he says he is One of the old school. Bernard sought out the Kovalev fight. He need not have done he could have took a few more easy $$ no risk fights. Bernard is a fighter not a prima donna like you know who:|:patsch
