Bradley finally realized he can't beat Khan. Bradley Is Ducking.

[ny123]

Bradley is going to make 2 big paydays instead of one. HBO did this when they guaranteed him and Alexander fights. Blame them for the dumb move.

[Fix]

Sorry but McCloskey was not known here by the general public at all. As for the vast majority of Khan fans, they're more familiar with Timothy Bradley than McCloskey by a long way. other than being built up as the biggest threat to Khan at 140 by the UK boxing press, don't forget Bradley came over here and beat Junior Witter for his title. McCloskey's biggest fight, on the other hand, has been against obscurity.

Speaking in general, the ridiculous knee-jerk reactions of a lot of posters on this site are kind of embarrassing.

Bradley hasn't signed to fight Khan after, what, a week? OMG! He's ducking him!!!

Ortiz beat a largely unproven Berto? WOW! You next Pacquiao and Mayweather!!!

Pacquiao won a vacant alphabet strap at 154lbs? GTFO! Dude's better than Sugar Ray Robinson!!!

Bradley's just wrangling for the best deal. The fight will happen next.

There's also the Irish market, not just the UK. The English-Irish clash was built up by McCloskey himself when he called out Khan in a previous post-fight interview on a nationally televised bout. After that, anticipation for the bout gained momentum in the UK.

And your point about knee-jerk reactions is well-taken.. but that's what the forum is partially for.. to air any thoughts you have, even if they might be hasty or presumptive..

I'm just presenting a case for how Bradley *might* be ducking Khan and how it appears to be the case at this particular moment in time.. of course it could all change depending on Bradley's next move.. we both know that..

a spade is a spade and a duck is a duck

bradley clearly wants no part of khan

okay man u got it

[Rome-By-Ko]

bradley is making almost as much as marquez made in the katsidis fight and hes making more that berto and martinez in their last fight. its ridiculous how the guy thinks hes worth much more than that.

None of those fights you just named had the significance of this fight so of course the pay out for those would/should be lower..

So Khan ducked Bradley by taking the money fight with Paul whats his face..See how dumb that sounds??

[Rome-By-Ko]

He couldn't have fought Bradley because Bradley made it clear now that he was just posturing.. He was all bark no bite.. We can see that clear now.. You saying you still believing him about wanting to fight Khan on April 16? How can you still believe that when he's ducking Khan now? Actions speak louder than words, when Khan makes it clear he wants the fight, Bradley heads for the hills.

Khan fought McCloskey in the UK because McCloskey was more well-known than Bradley over there by the general public at large.. Obviously hardcore boxing fans respect Bradley much more than McCloskey but Khan's audience goes way outside your average hardcore boxing fans..

And I don't dislike Bradley, I kinda consider him the legit IBF champ too because Alexander shouldn't be have been stripped by that joke of an organization before their fight.. but it is what is man.. Bradley is ducking now.

If Khan did not go after money(fighting Paul was all about money)Bradley maybe would not feel the need to have a money fight of his own..So I see Khan is the only one who can do good Business..

What are you talking about Khan went after money fight McCloskey he took a massive paycut to fight him because he wanted a tune up before Bradley, Bradley is p1ssing his pants and you are defending him ducking absolutely shameless!

It certainly looks like Bradley is not sure of winning this fight. He's acting as if it's the last one for him and he has to squeeze every penny out of it. He sure said that he wants Khan, now Khan is right on top of the table. So....

In contrast, Khan's mind is set on big fights and this fight is just one obligation he had to take care of.
