Before Jon Jones, what was the worst example of a heavyweight champion avoiding a top contender?

[VinceArch]

Okay Arch Vince

Imagine rushing to the defense of this guy.

 

[VinceArch]

Not Heavyweight, but honestly, I can't remember a more blatant case of ducking since Tito vs. Chuck. Tito ran from that for almost four years.

Ronda's lifelong ducking of Cyborg for years was almost as blatant.

 

[Captain Herb]

hes avoiding no one. you absolute idiots. tom suck nutters. butt sucking turd burgs know nothing.

jon said he wanted to vacate and get a fight vs someone with a lot of accolades rather then fight the next up and coming guy. dana goes im making the fight- jon then says in multiple interviews and to the ufc he will vacate no problem he prefers a legacy fight for his final fight the only way he would take it is if they paid him like 30 mil. reasonable. its his last fight hes the goat. dana hears this and goes- we are making the fight and the duck narrative starts - dana never made the fight or offered whaty jon was asking or even listened to what jon said . so jon never vacated trolled the fans trolled tom trolled dana and wins again. undisputed goat. get the hell out of here you stupid turd burger absolute idiots.

Jon's drunk again

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

This is it. We've had a few interim champs here and there.... but none with as many title defenses as the actual champion.

 

[broc5k]

Ronda's lifelong ducking of Cyborg for years was almost as blatant.

Forgot about that one, Kayla's ducking of Cyborg is getting up there, too.

 

[Fight Professor]

After fighting Lewis instead of rematch in Stipe or Jones, DC tried to fight a retired Brock Lesnar.

DC fought them multiple times. He is one of the few fighters who would fight anyone except his friend Cain.

 

[El Fernas]

Yeah Conor avoided Aldo who he KO’d in 13 seconds and Khabib who was his very next fight.

Aldo was the Interim champion...promoted to Undisputed because well, you know who wasnt going to make 145 ever again, ducked him or not, at LW...took him a while to decide to fight and the only one really available was Khabib, who had the belt, when he could duck (champion), he did.

 

[spearfishin guy]

fighting is aggressive this is a fighting forum and im using fighting words. I understand this game. You have a lot to learn and a lot of growing up to do.

Yep, you've been drinking the bath water again.

Yeah Conor should’ve fought the guy who beat Aldo.

Oh wait he’d already beaten Holloway too.

Quit acting like there weren’t plenty of good reasons why Conor never went back to 145.

Yeah thats called ducking. And a champ is not an up and comer, you jon jones cum guzzling nut sack nuzzling turd burglar

Frankie Edgar was the worst possible match up for Connor so he left

 

[snugglecakes]

no... there is no other HW example of this. Jon Jones is exclusive to this scummy behavior

Strikeforce probably had a better HW division at the time so just stop if u were gonna say fedor... nor was he ever the Strikeforce champ
