Which great fighters to all intents and purposes ducked no one?

Ketchel. Greb. Langford.

 

Pac won round 2 and other rounds after that

 

De La hoya for sure.

 

The term "ducking" gets thrown around way too much. Often in complete ignorance. It's used as in "he SHOULD fight him but he's scared" when there are boatloads of reasons fights don't take place and often whether or not you think a fight SHOULD happen is just a completely personal opinion not any kind of commonly accepted assumption. Not to mention how many times fights were unsuccessfully attempted to be made without people hearing about it, only to have the people call one of the fighters a ducker while being in the dark about the attempt.

 

I almost said Hagler until I recall that he always wanted the smaller guys like Duran and Hearns and Leonard to fight him. Yet when Michael Spinks challenged him to move up he wouldn't do it. That would have been an interesting fight. I do agree Hagler fought them all at middleweight. I just think moving up to light heavy would have proven he had the guts of the guys who moved up and fought him.

 

Delahoya the only one in recent history to come close to fighting the amount of quality fighters was Holyfield.
