Do you think the art of ducking will continue onto the next generation?

With new fighters like GGG, Kovalev, Mikey Garcia, Rigo, Canelo, Bradley, Lomachenko, etc. It seems like the number of fighters who would fight anyone widely overshadow the duckers.

maybe we will have a new golden age

    There will be some who learned from the guru of ducking and will prefer preserving their record but these were just a handful. Some fighter want recognition over the record and not afraid on any kind of competition and these are the fighters who will keep boxing alive. Some are more on making it a circus than the real substance of the sport and even gain from it but this will be short lived and will soon vanish once the public notice that they were in a wrong career.

    Nope. After that single annoying duck retires, the brave ones will rise up. I'd say there will be no more ducking in the next era of boxing if the want to keep the fans.

    Take me for example. I was once critical about the barbaric style of MMA. Now I am starting to liking it.

    Avoiding fighters has always been around.

    Floyd Patterson was the world champion at avoiding ranked fighters.

    Yes. Danny "fraud" Garcia will be one of those ducks. Hopefully most don't duck though. We have guys like Canelo that duck no one

    Nobody wants to end up like some boxers that went out as fast as they came in. Stay in school, kid.
