    Let's name them.

    It seems they are getting scarce in boxing's current landscape

    all the more reason to support them. we could also call them the Anti-Floyds / Wilders


    - GGG
    - Kovalev
    - Wlad
    - Provo
    - Lucas

    who else?

    :lol:

    expect Kovalev flat out ducked Stevenson, and while GGG isn't ducking Ward, he clearly does not want the fight but he's willing to fight other 168 pounders like Chavez Jr LOL.

    People who duck nobody are usually the people who can't get big fights or those who have little to no say in whom they will fight next. That's just how pro boxing works.

    There are also proud fighters like Wladimir or Canelo, they're huge draws so they could fight any random bum and they'd still get paid pretty well, yet they take all comers and / or high risk/low reward fights just to prove themselves. That's the warrior attitude the sport badly needs. Too bad most boxers with a name are taking a page from Floyd's Book of Cherrypickin nowadays.

    This + Canelo, Lara, Margarito, Lebedev, Holyfield, there are lots of names. There are much fewer duckers than warriors in the sport.

    Cotto has fought everyone except Golovkin, for obvious reasons of course.

    Ducked is overused. Darnell Boone has to have a place here.

    Bradley for sure. I still feel pacquiao would fight anyone, but if he could get it past Arum that's another story. Canelo Will fight anyone too, but we'll see if he ducks in the near future.
