Badou Jack CLEARLY just ducked Dimitry Bivol. Of course you can say "but Bivol hasn't fought nobody" but he would have fought Jack if Jack didn't vacate. See how that works? Now I'm not hating on Jack. I'm a fan and I support him. And I completely understand why he wouldn't want problems with the unknown and dangerous Bivol. Getting stopped unceremoniously by Bivol would definitely harm his pocketbook. Sometimes it pays to duck
If he wants to fight Superman he has to vacate, no two ways about it WBA regular is a 2nd tier title it is not a real title and can't unify with other Major orgs Its debatable, but I am coming to the conclusion that ducking doesn't exist, just moaning fans, GGG fans taught me this they are the biggest whiners you will ever see.
BJS ducking everyone good comes to mind edit: Will give him the Eubank fight, but he isn't all that great either.
You can't duck anyone who isn't in your weight class. It was moronic when some people accused Floyd of ducking GGG, and it's just as dumb he's accused of ducking Ward. If GGG had a title at 168 and then refused the fight outright, thatd be a duck and I'd call it a duck. Sturm, Sergio, Cotto, & Quillin ducked GGG blatantly. Didn't even bother trying to hide it.
Nah. That was in the "strategic delay" category. I knew that'd come off eventually because Canelo is sensitive about being perceived as a protected fighter. He balances the high-risk with easier cash-in fights, and when the rumblings get too loud that he's spending too much time on the easier side, he'll make a rough fight. 30 million Mexicans watch his fights, and he makes a fortune selling the rights to his fights on free TV there. Even if the pride wouldn't have driven him to take the fight, the pesos and public pressure would've. His business sense and brand management are exceptional, and he knows how to balance his level of competition.
El Pollo ducking Golovkin, then having Oscar's judges, referee and boxing commission, although Bayless did a good job, but Bob Bennett is a damned liar....................and Oscar's favorite judge Byrd, also the favorite of Bennett. Nobody should have fought SOB Ward, Ward cheats like hell, he lost the first fight by decision, lost the second by disqualification. Sign the Golota petition, change his loss by disq. to knockout, since the rules have been changed. I didn't know that low blows to the testicles were legal in boxing, but for SOB they are...................go to youtube and watch the cheating which is pointed out clearly by video and still pictures................not just the Kovalev fight either.
The fight between khan and bradley was ment to setup a fight with pac and had been brewing for a while. Bradley duckef and got rewarded for it which always left a sour taste. He also won said fight with pac by robbery which just adds insult to injury
Everyone selects their opponents and therefore ducks to a degree. No reason to single out Jack. He's faced the best and will continue to do so. If he doesn't want to fight a guy with 11 fights who hasn't yet established himself at the top of the division or as a draw, fine. The WBA doesn't run boxing. Hope Jack gets the Stevenson fight he deserves next.
