I get the feeling that Manny really has something to prove to his fans and most importantly, himself. Bradley is coming in with hunger to be the best and prove himself. I think we might just get a barnburner on Saturday night, but I think eventually Manny catches him with right hook on the way in and puts him down with a straight left. He'll get up, but when Manny smells blood, you're in trouble. Bradley will prove he is a P4Per though and will get the respect he's always deserved. I just hope there isn't a headbutt at some point. Bradley's style and the orthodox vs southpaw combination aren't exactly good omens, but Bradley has said he's tried to work on it.

If that's not ducking I don't know what is.

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostThat's not ducking, how old are you? Ike Quartey had a fight scheduled with Andre Pestraev in 1998. He also was getting offers from Don King (Tito). He ditched the Pestraev fight instantly. And then, Top Rank (Oscar) came calling at the last minute with an offer. Ike left Tito hanging and went with what made fiscal sense. Did Ike duck Pestraev? Tito? No. He made a business decision. Only kids think in terms of duck. It doesn't apply to every fight you don't take. I'm reminded of dumb ass Dirk Diggler--you're using the same dense reasoning. Please, we have enough shallow thinkers on here.
If Manny comes out and says I'm not fighting Floyd because I can make then same money taking 2 easy catch weight fights, and I might lose to Floyd and not be able do 1mil ppv anymore. Do you think people will say "good business decision manny, way to go"?
No they'll scream duck!!
Guys dont duck fights out of fear they do it because they don't want to risk losing and losing marketability. No one avoided a prime Tyson, people lined up to get destroyed by him because he was the cash cow. Didn't wanna fight Lennox though, because it's a hard fight for less money.
Bradley didn't have a Pac offer last July when he sat out of boxing rather than face Khan. business wise it was the right move no doubt, but the fact is, for all his talk about how he's gonna win this fight Tim Bradley wasn't sure if he could beat Amir Khan. He wasnt confident enough to bet a possible Pac fight on it anyway.
