Hopkins used Calzaghe instead of facing him at super middleweight because he preferred to move to light heavyweight and take on Tarver.

Eubank and Benn would not even entertain taking on Herol Graham as he would humiliate them.

Hagler v Hearns 2 could not be agreed which was a shame.

Tyson v Holyfield, before he went to jail, was a drama and I feel team Holyfield were glad he was imprisoned.
Evander moved up to fight Tyson specifically. Tyson was supposed to fight him after Douglas but lost, and then was supposed to fight him again but went to prison. If anything Evander was upset because he wanted the legitimacy and paydays a Tyson win would bring him. If there is one guy who never ducked anyone it is Evander- he always sought out the toughest competition and always had a “thing” for Tyson specifically. I don’t see any way you can come to the conclusion that Evander was part of any drama in any of those lead ups or negotiations.
