    What Is The Biggest Duck Of All Time?

    Which fighter do you feel ducked another fighter the worst. (All Time) ONLY 1 PICK ALLOWED!!!!!

    #2
    If we go back to the days of the color barrier there were obviously several black fighters who never got title shots, due to the conditions, it would be probably unfair to classify those as the biggest ducks.

    To be fair, i will stick to my era in watching the sport. The HW division is the biggest division, and in the last 20 odd years that i followed the sport, my sole pick would be Rid**** Bowe throwing his WBC belt in the garbage can to avoid fighting Lennox Lewis. Lewis himself avoided Ruiz, and that has been discussed by me and sonny here already, so no need to give talk about that again.

    The recent mega fight that didnt happen might be a good contender, but there is still a slight possibility that it still may happen, so we can't call it a duck yet.

      Ignoring all the color (but mostly talent) barrier cases, George Foreman ducking Larry Holmes has got to be #1. He ducked the man for 2 damn decades.

        When exactly did Foreman duck Holmes? There was talk of them meeting in 1976 but Holmes got injured, although it's doubtful whether King and Holmes' team would have fancied risking him against Foreman at that point. Then Foreman retired for ten years, so he was hardly ducking Holmes while he was preaching and eating cheeseburgers and had not the slightest interest in boxing. Finally they were scheduled to meet in the late 90s, only for the finances to fall through.

        Biggest duck? Jack Johnson's refusal, absolute refusal, to give Sam Langford a title shot.

          Lennox Lewis.

          Aside from him, I can't think of many well known great fighters of the past who could be labeled as a "duck."

              Rid**** Bowe
              Prime Tyson
              Prime Holyfield

              I can't think of any top contenders he faced who weren't shot. Vitali is the only one, but he to me was never a threat to Lennox, as he isn't as good as the heavies listed above.

                  The question is who is the biggest duck.

                  A guy who fought Duran twice, Tommy Hearns, and Marvin Hagler is, in your opinion, the biggest duck?
