    that was suppose to be for the floyd fight, the biggest fight of his career. so why do you think floyd is taking a vacation and said that he just fought mosley last may and would not want a fight in november when it would be more than 6 months while he was not as battered in the mosley fight as pacquiao was in the cotto fight?

    there is a reason why floyd's camp wants the march date and that is for floyd's advantage. nothing wrong with that, each camp must secure every advantage, physically or mentally to gain and that's part of boxing.

    Dempsey ducked Wills for like 6 years ... not intentionally so, he wanted to fight Wills and they actually signed a contract but the men in charge didn“t want it to happen.

    A welterweight ducking a middleweight? Doesn't sound like a real duck.

    Leonard's behaviour towards Hagler at the retirement party was awful, but a fighter with a bad eye shouldn't be expected to jump two weightclasses for a next fight. Leonard had good reasons not to fight Hagler, he wasn'tjust a coward.

    the question was what was the longest duck in boxing history. the post wasn't set up to discuss potential fights that could have been made in the past 18 months.

    the longest and most disgraceful duck of all time was sam langford never getting a shot at the world title

    mayweather ducked Mosley from 1999-2010. Shane wanted to fight at lightweight in 1999, mayweather fought at welterweight in 2010...

    Your point would be taken more seriously if Leonard hadn't routinely brought up a possibility of a Hagler-Leonard fight for the better part of 6 years.
