Who does the "ducking", the fighters, the trainers, or the promoters?

all do from time to time.

 

The promoters

 

Fighters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A true ballsy fighter will fight everyone that they put in front of him and if promoter is in the way, he will tell that promoter to &&&& off.

No one wanted Ali to fight Foreman. No one wanted Frazier to fight Foreman. Yet they did.

The whole world was against Floyd Patterson giving Liston a shot.. Yet the fight still happened. just few examples.

Team Pavlik ducked Paul Williams

PW signed to fight and KP pulled out and fought someone 2 weeks later!! PRIME EXAMPLE

 

Tell that to the Cotto fans who say he hasn't fought PW because he "only fight who my company puts in front of me."

 

Promoters and managers.

Money and business get in the way.

 

Promoters are defo at the forefront of dodging!!!

They just see fighters as dollars. Look at how all of Warrens fighters have to leave him to get a real opponent.

Fighters most of the time are deluded and will believe they are the best even if the rest of the world tells them their not. Theyll take on anyone and are just waiting for their chance. Whereas a small percentage, will not want to ruin their career of future pay days and avoid anyone that looks abit tastey. Same I'd say goes for trainers. so in a sentence; who dodges fighters?

a small percentage of fighters. a small percentage of trainers, but all of the promoters.

 

Who cares, somebody takes the blame for the team to make it easier to spin.

 

Long Story short...Its fighters, trainers and promoters are at fault for a fight not to happen.

 

Good points. Well said.

 

But you really think Cotto wouldn't fight Paul Williams if his promoter matched them up??

Cotto fought Margarito who NO ONE NO ONE wanted a piece of..
And then Clottey and Pac another two fights he should have avoided.. Im sure he doesn't do the ducking.
