    How the hell is Bradley ducking 140???

    Let's take a look at the top 5.

    Maidana: He was scheduled to fight him, so there's no way he's ducking him. He also called him out multiple times in the past.

    Khan: Shaw and Warren tried to negotiate a fight between them after both had successful defenses in December, but Khan left Warren for GBP. Then recently Bradley agreed to a tourney between himself, Devon, Khan and JMM but Khan (they guy who originally thought of the tourney) declined the offer.

    Alexander: Days after Alexander KO'ed Urango, Bradley accepted his challenge in an interview, saying "Let's do it!" From tere what did Team Alexander do? Make a bunch of ****** interviews trashing Bradley. NOBODY bothered to get in contact with Gary Shaw. Not even HBO. So tell me, how the hell do you negotiate a fight through BoxingScene interviews? lol These guys both want to pound eachother. You gotta contact teams to set up a fight. I don't get why King and Cunningham didn't try if they wanted the fight so badly. I mean wasn't Cunningham pulling the same crap back when Judah and Spinks were at the top of 147? Judah wasn't scared at all. Bradley has also recently mentioned that he's willing to do the 140 tourney, and Khan declined. Obviously he knows he'd have to face Devon in that tourney. So how is he scared?

    Ortiz: I don't think Ortiz is scared of anybody, but GBP is protecting him right now. Bradley tried to get a fight with him and they declined. I can understand because his next move should be avenging the Maidana loss to give him that hunger and confidence back, but Bradley did try to fight him.

    So somebody PLEASE tell me how he's ducking 140. He has been struggling to make weight for a long time (just look at how huge he is) and I doubt he can make 140 effectively at this point. He reached a very muscular 160lbs. Moving down 20lbs isn't healthy when you're that built! In fact, I'm going to ask Diaz personally if he can make 140 effectively anymore.

    I don't see how either, I mean its not like he is just fighting softies instead he is moving up in weight to seek tough challenges....who knows maybe he is having trouble making 140.

      Exactly. Whereas Amir Khan is calling out a 37 year old and a 39 year old and ducking his own idea. And I'm very curious to see what Ortiz does if he fights and beats Maidana next.

        he is chasing the money fights I can't fault him for that only fight he is avoiding at the moment is Alexander because its a high risk low reward fight if HBO puts up enough money for that fight its gonna happen

          I just realized you finally fixed the spelling error in your damn signature lol.

          I wouldn't say Bradley is ducking anyone as well. People are so damn impatient just let things play out and let the chips fall. I don't think he is scared of any of these guys. They will all have to settle it in the ring.

              the REAL DUCKER is Khan

              this guy is busy trying to fight OLD WASHED UP FIGHTERS or fighters that are not known for having Power

              Bradley approach is correct...from a FINANCIAL STANDPOINT, it is more money if he fights Khan or Maidana then it is fighting Alexander RIGHT NOW...but at the same time Khan is not trying to fight Alexander either

              they all will have to fight eventually even if Khan runs to 147 Alexander and Bradley will be right behind him

              for some reason it is always a double standard with fighters that are trained by Roach lol

                Khan has only been a 140lb'r for one year.

                and in that time he has fought as good fighters as anyone in the division except alexander.

                  Oh and by the way, khan beats maidana and bradley, khan/alexander is a toss up.

                  bradley can "chase" khan all he want's all hes doing is chasing his first loss.

                    What we do know is Khan suggested the tourney, we heard it right out of his mouth. Although I feel like Bradley vs Alexander should happen ASAP, something tells me the promoters won't allow it happen any time soon.
