Fighters Who Never Ducked Anyone.

[Mr140]

Alright Ice let me show you somthing about the fighter you say he ducked

Micheal Nunn- Won a title when Ray just came back and won his over Hagler and after that he already went after the lh and smw titles.

Mike MucCallum- just won a title when Ray retired did not fight till Hagler and when he did come back Mike MucCallum lost his title.

Donald Curry- Was fighting over and britian and Ray was fight Bentiz, Hearns and also Duran and Donald lost as well.

Aaron Pryor- Did not deserve to fight Ray Hearns deserved to he never did anything at welter or even try to that was his fault ice.

Its a fact that SRL avoided the young upcoming fighters in the late 80s, i understand why he didn't fight them. But that isn't the point of the thread is it ? its about fighters who never ducked anyone. And clearly SRL ducked quite a few fighters along with ducking rematches against Benitez, Hearns.

What about Ricky Hatton ?

Or does Junior Twitter count against him

There were plent of better welterweights than Collazo he could have gone after, fighters that would have loved the payday and would challenge him a lot more than the current crop of LWs. Course they never called him out, so you could argue he didn't duck them.

Still dont see how he ducked them fought guys that were just as acomplished and the fighters you metioned did not have any right to fight. He stop both Benitez and Hearns i dont think he owed them anything. And as for Hearns i dont remeber him asking for one neither do i Benitez. I dont remeber any articles of any of this fighters asking SRL out why would they he was far past it when the got there names out there so no i dont think he avoid them think the timelines if you look at the careers make sense why they did not fight i mean you cant fight ever one does not mean you ducked them means you had guys with just as much and fought them.

Yes it does.

He'll always be scarred by dodging Witter where neutral Brit fans are concerned.

Not actually sure if that is sarcasm or not, as I obviously don't know what the British sentiment may be; Witter was definetly the clear cut best challenger and most sensible matchup for Hatton to take for a period of time though. I suppose it would have been a tough ask following the loss to Mayweather, but he could've done a lot more to prove his worth by following that up with Junior instead of a good rest then facing Juan Lazcano Now without bothering to look it up, did Witter lose to Bradley before, or(if so how long) after Hatton lined up the Malignaggi fight? And I don't mean signed the contract, even deciding that he would fight N'dou on the undercard of his Lazcano fight was as good as deciding who his next opponent would be..

I'm serious. MANY a Brit fan is disappointed this fight didn't happen from back when they were at Brit title level (2000/1). There were periods when the fight didn't matter, and Hatton had other business, but it was always lingering. Paulie-Hatton was already happening before Witter lost to Bradley. Hatton just blatantly refused to fight Witter. Shame.

He ducked Miguel Cotto.... Well they ducked each other really. They were both guided so, you know...


Btw has anyone got the stones to mention the Pretty one?

Juan LaPorte:

How about a fighter that "ONLY" fought HOF Salvador Sanchez, HOF Eusebio Pedroza, HOF Wilfredo Gomez, HOF Barry McGuigan, Future HOF Julio Cesar Chavez, Future HOF Kostya Tszyu, HOF Azumah Nelson, Ex World Champ Rocky Lockridge, Ex World Champ John John Molina, Ex World Champ Zack Padilla, Ex World Champ Billy Costello, Ex World Champ Charles Murray.... besides EX World Title Challengers Ruben Castillo, Dwight Pratchet, Johnny de la Rosa, Lupe Suarez, Hector Lopez,.... beat some and NEVER NEVER NEVER was knocked off his feet!!! Who? Juan "Tony" La Porte, that's 'WHO'!!!! Laporte faced them all. Had alot of class. NEVER a bad word, NEVER a trash talker, NEVER belittled his victims, NEVER a bad influence on the younger fighters, ... AND NEVER KNOCKED OFF HIS FEET. Spends his days training youngsters in the Bronx. A real 'good guy' of the sport

It's a shame Cotto and Hatton didn't meet at 140 but like you said Cotto was being guided and groomed perfectly to flourish as a Welterweight. Hatton was champion so I would have liked him to persue Cotto.

Mayweather did well at 130-135. As he moved up he really bacame more business oriented. He prepared himself for retirment and judging by his last two fights he did a hell of a job. Although there is a rumor that he's coming back for money.

Floyd really did have a hell of a chance to cement a legacy for himself at 140 after he beat Corley and demolished Gatti. A victory over Hatton would have looked much better had it happened at 140lbs for the Linear title at that weight.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Glen Johnson. The Road Warrior has always sought the best, IMO.
