Define a "Duck"

[Kel]

To me, it's only a "duck" when a fighter avoids fighting an opponent who is both the most worthy challenger AND the biggest potential paycheck.

I don't like it when people accuse a fighter of "ducking" someone in order to make more money against someone else. After all, they call it "prize"fighting for a reason. These guys fight to get paid. Considering that any boxer's career can end at any time from any one punch, I will never fault a guy for chasing the biggest paycheck.

Like I said, a duck only occurs when the person being ducked represents the biggest challenge and the biggest paycheck to the fighter who is doing the ducking.
