    True. But at the time it was one of the most public and embarrassing ducks in decades.

    Bowe ducking Lewis always got me.

    It was perfect timing but Bowe imo didn't want the fight.

    I personally think it was a smart decision on Bowes part.

    If not for cash as far as getting himself knocked out.

    Again, just imo.

    Floyd ducking Manny until after Manny had got flattened was annoying.

    Honourable mention to Wilder who has thus far made it 38 fights without fighting a top dude. Bizarre.

    Add the name Anthony Mundine to your list. It went to a purse bid and Mundine's people didn't even turn up. GGG said he would fight Mundine in his own backyard with Mundine's family as the judges....and received no reply.

    Why do people twist that quote.

    Floyd thought pac was on PEDs
    When they kicked up a big stink about floyds demand for BOTH he and pac to submit to random blood an urine testing it pretty much confirmed it for floyd

    Thats why he said his health wasnt worth it because he saw it as risking his health against a PED taking fighter. Weather you believe pac was clean or dirty you cant sit there and tell me what floyd said does not make perfect sense.

    Theres so many direct quotes from pacs team (mainly arum) putting roadblocks up for the megafight IN ITS PRIME. My personal fav was his argument that pac being in the ring with floyd would be a bad look for his political image, acting like floyd an pac were mates or some****?

    You cant claim one side was reponsible for it not happening. They both held it up
