Define a "Duck"

[Put Em' Up]

When you're offered $8milion, a career high payday against the longest reigning champion in the division but you decide to take $5million fighting a lesser opponent. And then you change your name to money.

Oh and you retire on the eve of the 2 biggest names in the division fighting each other.That's pretty much the definition of duck that comes to my mind. Oh and you do all this and procalim to be the best at 147.

Wow......damn Gamo , you hit Hard with that thing bro.....
Take care man , that nobody stick on you , that is something that hurt hearts and something that a lot of people dont believe........

You gave the most exactly Definition and i think that theres no other one...................

The only way he could have been any clearer is if he put my sig as the post

Cotto and Pavlik with Mayweather and Calzaghe.
Calzaghe and his camp are running like spineless guttless turds. Lets fight another old man.

He did and got repped for it

I missed that one or I would have been all over it.

Joe Calzaghe ducks NO ONE! He will fight anyone who can make the weight. The only thing Joe can be accused of is the fact he insist on fights being at home but that is more Frank Warren then anything.

Joe Calzaghe ducking people? Fighting Old Men. Funny how that "Old Man" was one of the best in the sport before Joe beat him" he loses and age is now a factor?

Don't hate on Calzaghe just accept the greatness,

Your inner Chi will be much more at peace (just kidding)

Best example of a fighter running scared was Bowe in the 90s when he shamlessly ducky Lewis.

or Lewis ducking a rematch with Vitali, or a fight with Wladimir...but hey that ended up for the best, cause then Wladimir would have never gotten Emanuel Steward lol

Thats a bit unfair to Lewis who at that stage of his carrer had beaten the best around and himself was past his best.

I think Lewis made the right move there.

Lewis did not duck Vitaly. He retired because he knew it was time. You are talking about a man who faced and beat every heavyweight there was to face and beat during the 1990's and early 2000's. Something no other heavyweight can claim not even Holyfield.

Lewis also got the win in their bout so I don't understand where this comes from.

A champion gives a challenger a shot at the title, the challenger makes it a hard tough fight. The champion comes out on top. Just because the challenger makes it a tough fight he deserves a rematch and if he does not get one he is being ducked? The challenger should give the champion a hard fight. It is his job, if he does not give one then he is not world class or at least championship material.

If the champion walks over the guy he fought pushovers, if he has a tough fight then he is shot or lucky to keep his belt.

Can't be both way's my man. Vitaly got his shot and he lost regardless on how well he did. Lewis owed him nothing.
