First of all there are alot of Americans especially African Americans who are supporting Bradley by making excuses for him for not having to fight Khan: 1) The fight should be left for one or two years for it to be built up! 2) Not enough money 3) Khan should fight Judah first 4) Bradley should fight an easier opponent and continue padding his record.
Americans are normally the first to accuse others read non Americans of ducking an American fighters, Yet there are completely silent and nowhere to be seen or heard when an American fighter like Bradley ducks a Non American in Khan.
Why arent the Americans especially African Americans making more noise? Where isnt there demonstrations about this? Perhaps its ok for Americans to duck opponents and continue padding thier records but not ok for other nationalities.
Fans want to see the best fight the best, I dont see why Bradley should be continued to be viewed as number one when he has ducked Khan.
By not signing the fight? :loser:
Its the first offer. Bradley did the same **** with Devon alexander and people said the same thing, and then bradley ended up with a better deal and embarassed Devon in the process.
And now you expect bradley accept a deal that he makes the same amount of money as the alexander fight against a more popular fighter.
Pacquaio turned down the first deal against oscar and ended up with 50/50 split on PPV.
Cotto turned down the first deal against pacquaio and ended up with a bigger split.
Pacquaio turned down the first deal against Hatton and ended up with a bigger split and retiring ricky hatton in the process.
Now if Bradley sign another fight and its not against Floyd, Marquez or pacquaio then I would agree with you. But so far they are still negotiating so we cant call anybody a ducker at this moment especically from the first offer.
And dont forget Khan has a long history of being a cheap ass and making low balling offers to his opponent and claim them to being a ducker.
Man, I don't know if it's just outright American patriotism which is generating some of those idiotic posts or if it's Khan hatred. Some people just can't admit that Bradley is clearly ducking Khan.
But, I seen one or two genuine people who are calling it for what it is.
Timothy "Khantucky Fried" Bradley is a disgrace to boxing and should be stripped of his belts for ducking Khan.
Tell me how Bradley is clearly ducking Khan.
Bradley only turned down the 1st offer. Its called a negotiation for a ****ing reason moron. Add the fact that Pac vs Mosley is next week(meaning negotiating with a Pac fight) and floyd is rumored to comeback in the summer means Bradley is looking at his option at the moment.
One of them have a history of ducking fighters and its not bradley. Dont forget bradley went to England and took Whitters belt. Bradley also was quick to take a maidana fight(which maidana faked an injury to ducked bradley) while khan was ducking him for a while. Dont forget bradley did the same **** with Alexander and ended up doubling the 1st offer and got 1.3 million from that fight(you know the same 1.3 million khan offered bradley even though Khan is far bigger draw than alexander).
FFS this is not ducking, Bradley wants to get paid. Rightfully so, he fought to the top the hard way. Coming into onto our turf and beating Witter. More than can be said for Khan, who skipped the domestic route and got stopped then somehow gets a title shot. He should be giving Maidana a rematch. Khan played himself severing ties with Sky. I don't condemn it, i just think it could do with being built up a while. Bradley has earnt the right to make decisions. He just fought the top guy at light welter... why should he not have time for a warm-up fight like Khan did? Why does every decision need to be made straight away...
You are either with us or with the duckers! :lol1:

Hard boiled, you are a racist scumbag who knows little about boxing. Boxing is driven by one thing- MONEY. By the time fighters get to this level they've been giving and taking punches for years. No one is afraid of anyone else. If Bradley can delay the fight and get more money later, that's what will happen. All that aside, I slightly favor Khan, but not because he's Asian or because Bradley's black. The Khan who demolished Malginatti will handle Bradley. However, the Khan who ran like a litttle girl from Maidana and the Khan who struggled with and got a gift stoppage against(McClosky) will not beat Bradley.
Yes ofcouse any criticism of any African American boxer like Bradley for ducking another coloured person in Khan is racist! What is racist about calling Bradley a punk and a ducker for refusing to fight Khan? He is backing out of the fight because he knows he will loose, Boxing is meant to be about the best fighting the best, Not fighting tomato cans and building up padded records and then expecting large dole outs from HBO.
What you are saying is you agree with Bradley stalling to "make more money" this is the highest purse of his life! He will earn more fighting Khan than he did ALexander which was also a unification. Also that fight was a stinker so Bradley needs to make a better showing this time. Please do not falsely accuse members of racism when they are anything but a racist. Its not exactly like Khan is white anglo saxon protestant.

I honestly thought Bradley would be one of those Hagler/Pryor like fighters, who would claw his way to the top and beg for big fights like this. I was wrong. Khan seems to want it, but Bradley if he was so confident in winning he would take the 1.4million, beat Khan and potentially become a bigger star. I was sadly wrong.
TBH I don't think Bradley would duck Khan. He is ready to sleep with Bob Arum to get the fight with Pacman. He might be waiting for the Pac-Mosley fight, because Arum tries to negotiate Pac's next fight within a month after that. Bradley was tied with Alexander when Arum was looking for Pacquiao's next opponent last time.
Do you know all the facts? We know how much Bradley was offered but how much is Khan making? I'm guessing it's atleast double with the UK sky money. kind of unfair that the #1 JWW and unified champ makes way less than the#2. Why isn't Khan giving him a share of the UK money?
with the possibility of floyd not fighting again, bradley is the last hope for african americans. i mean if he were to lose, who else do they have in boxing?? nah, man they want to keep that '0' to brag about it.:afro::afro::afro::afro:
Its sad but its true. The problem is not with all Americans, Hispanics and the Latinos fight everyone and anyone, Its the African American boxers and only then someone of them who are undefeated who started this culture of ducking.
