I don't think he is "Ducking", he said "Devon Alexander Will Get His in Due Time", that is not ducking that just means he sees some other fights available before taking on Alexander
Timothy wants some of that Golden Boy Promotions Money, right now a fight with Vic Ortiz, Amir Khan and Maidana would likely be a bigger pay days for Bradley compared to fighting Alexander right now

Whats more bothersome is that Jr WW is probably the strongest division in Boxing; so Alexander and Bradley don't really have to face eachother. Alot of other respectable opponents they can face, so many great matchups that can be made at 140.
You have to understand this sport of boxing is a business. You don't put two fighters who people don't know in a ring for a fight when you can build their careers, resumes, and image. You can make a lot more money later down the road if both guys keep winning.
Would you rather fight for peanuts on HBO or fight for millions on PPV? Ask a person who doesn't watch boxing who Devon and Tim are and I guarantee you the majority of the people don't know who they are. How many times have you seen them in the media, sportcenter, etc?
Why do you think GBP is not putting Khan against Floyd right now? Because they know if he keeps winning they can make a lot more money in the future.
This is not a duck because the promoters and fighters have to do what's best for them and their business. This would be a duck if both guys are household names and people know who they are.

Bradley has constantly faced tough opposition. It's all about respect here, Bradley has alot of respect for Alexander that he feels him and Alexander can take care of everybody else at Jr WW; then meet up at some point.
140 pounds division is very weird, everybody ducks everybody. I really don't know who's the real ducker: Zab ducks Tim who ducks Devon who ducks Zab whereas Maidana ducks Tim whereas Khan ducks them ALL; lol.
lol, Great post!
I'd be ashamed to have Bradley's physique and not be able to knock out a third grader. I can see Alexander catching his ass with one of those bombs that put Urango down. If Holt can hurt Bradley, then Alexander sure can too.
Well????????????????????????
no he is merely trying to build both his and alexander's names before they fight.
but these types of things backfire at times... like the mayweather judah fight for example

Definitely. They both don't have marketable opponents for their next fight, and Alexander wants to fight Bradley and not the other way around. This fight will become meaningless after a while because there's a good chance that both of these guys won't keep fighting at 140. Like Bradley is doing with that unknown South American guy.
