    The exact guidelines you use when you determine if someone is DUCKING a fighter.
    that accusation is thrown around FAR too often in boxing and is one of the biggest insults you can throw at a fighter

    When someone I don't like isn't fighting literally anyone who mentions them. Oh, wait. I'm sorry, that's 70% of ESB's definition. Not mine.

    pursuing a fight with an opponent u already have a trilogy with and winning 2 of the bouts ... instead of accepting a challenge from a fighter that u had been trying to get in the ring with for a couple years meanwhile ur camp has been claiming that this fighter has been ducking u

    Yeah, that's basically the way modern boxing fans seem to interpret the term.

    The reality is that true "ducking" occurs only very rarely.

    Floyd Mayrunner n Manny Quackquiao have been ducking eachother and other great fighters for yrs.. They are the true definition "Ducking". Don't believe look it up in the dictionary and this is what you'll see..

    This is a business and until the business model changes ducking is hard to determine. I guess if the move makes absolutely no financial sense then its a duck. However, if you sit on your throne in England and ignore the biggest market in North America . . . its a duck! if you do not go to where the money is at its a duck
