Who is the most avoided fighter? (Active)

Margarito
Guzman

 

WTF ???

He was out of the game with injuries for two years.

How does that become an excuse for other boxers to avoid him ???

 

Margo beeing avoided is one of the biggest myths and jokes in boxing over the past 10 years....If anything he has avoided more then he has been avoided....

Example people claim that both Mosley and Floyd ducked Margo...And to a point they may have...What most of the people fail to mention when making the claim is that Margo rejected offers to fight both guys, Shane in 2000 I believe when he fought Santos instead of taking the offer to fight the then P4P king....Floyd when Judah lost to Baldomir opting to fight a 10 lose fight in Gomez on some crappy PPV card that did 19,000 buys.

Others that offered Margo fights were Wright, Arum claimed that Margo wasnt a middleweight. And Ouma when he was champion.

Truth is Margo was not really avoided, it was the way that Arum promoted the guy...In the word of Winky..."How the hell is he avoided Id fight his ass tomorrow, and I told Bob that"

 

None of the above.The most avoided fighter is the one who is not ppv material but dangerous.

 

glen Johnson followed by winky, guzman, and clottey.

 

By who is Glen Johnson avoided? The guy was fought by nearly all good light heavies. The guy got screwed a few times, but avoided? Tarver, Jones jr, Dawson, Harding, Gonzales, Harmon, Hall, Judah, Ulrich...its not that even 2nd tier fighters avoided him.

I would say Guzman. 3 division champ with a good resume but not against one elite fighter.

 

John Ruiz. No joke

 

There is an element of truth in this statement. However it isnt because anyone fears Huggy bear, its because he makes horrible fights and no one wants to be in an ugly fight. Besides beatting Huggy B wouldnt bring much upside.

 

:happy
EXACTLY! Margarita needs to be taken off that list. Currently, he has TWO PEOPLE IN HIS OWN DIVISION THAT HOLD TITLES AND WANT TO GET IT ON WITH HIM!

Currently, he is the one doing the avoiding!

ARE YOU PEOPLE BLIND OR JUST THAT MUCH IN LOVE WITH HIM???????

 

Wouldn't say avoided but no one at 160 seems to want to get in the ring with Kelly Pavlik at the moment other than Arthur Abraham. Felix Sturm: forget him.

 

From Britain, I dunno whether it's avoidance or bad matchmaking but Carl Froch. Michael Jennings and Jamie Moore are all in danger of wasting their best years...

 

Another one - Yuri Romanov - looks world-class already. Doesn't look like he can buy a fight.

 

Nate Campbell, He finally got his shot and showed exactly what he can do. he is now a major force in the lightweight Division.

 

Other - Joan Guzman

Probably would have been Zahir Raheem, except he lost a couple weeks ago.
