It's one rule for US fighters, another for everybody else...

If the situation between Khan and Bradley was reversed, in that Khan was the one doing the ducking, everyone would be on him like a ton of bricks questioning his heart and balls.

Bradley has fought the same level of opposition and its only because he nicked the belt from Alexander in a bore-fest thast he thinks hes the divisions no. 1.

The fact that Khan WANTED the fight and was prepared the give up some of the UK PPV money (getting the Khans to hand out money is like getting blood from a stone) tells you how much he wanted it

Bradley has offered nothing but poor reasons for not taking the fight, and what very very few fans he already had, he's lost even more after this debacle.

If it was Khan doing the ducking, he'd get **** on by everybody, because its Bradley its somehow justifiable

Not in my eyes, Im an American through and through and currently in the US Army so my patriotism should not be questioned, but it is definately Timothy Bradley who is the bit*h on this one. After turning down 1.4 million plus 50/50 of british pay per view there is no doubt he wants nothing to do with Khan. Khan has some if not the quickest hands in boxing regardless of what haters think about his chin, which should be a no issue know after no going down one single time against maidania's crazy ass.

It is also telling that no one is offering any responses to your well made and accurate point. American fans on this site twist reality all the time to suit their beliefs, like Hopkins is better than Calzaghe somehow even though He lost to him. Or anyone with a good record from outside of the USA is hiding and or fighting bums apparently because they believe America is the only nation that matters in boxing.

I agree

It would absolutely ridiculous for me to say that the US, Las Vegas in particular, isnt the centre of where to see the best fights, with the most exposure and sales income. The US is where the money and potential notoriety/fame is at, no question. But its not asthough US fighters are all warriors and are a cut above everybody else from other nations like most Americans would have you believe

The sad thing is is I find myself subconciously hating on young US fighters purely because theyre always hyped as the next great thing, almost invincible at times. But if its a Russian or British or Irish fighter, then obviously they lack skills or heart or have fought bums.

Most of my favourite fighters are American, I'd imagine no one has a top 10 list of favourite fighters that doesnt have at least one American in, but that doesnt make the fans more knowledgable, intelligent or correct. Seems to make (some, not all) them arrogant, dismissive and stubborn.

I'd just like to say this doesnt apply to all US fans, just the idiots

How many threads are you going to make on the same damn thing?

Ok so with your logic then you have to admit that Amir Khan isn't better then Breidis Prescott because he lost to him. C'mon man, get your head out of your behind.

Ok, so what were your feelings when Khan skipped over fighting Maidana when every fan was calling for that fight, only to go and fight Paulie? Then after that fight he was looking to fight someone else until Maidana wrote a letter to the WBA stating that Khan wouldn't fight him, thus making the WBA step in and say if the fight wasn't made then they would go to a purse bid?

Khan wanted the Maidana fight, but he wanted for the US to know who he was before fighting him. Maidana already had some level of notoriety because of the Ortiz fight, Khan needed the same thing. One fight in the US, then onto Maidana. Which he did.....and won, now wants to fight Bradley, Bradley p*ssies out

That is absolutely ridiculous. Bradley HANDS DOWN has the better resume. Just because you think Khan would win doesn't mean he already has the better resume.

Devon Alexander, Junior Witter, Lamont Peterson, Nate Campbell, Kendall Holt, and tune up vs WELTERWEIGHT >>>>>>>> Maidana, Paulie, Kotelnik, and tune up against british garbage McCloskey. FACT. Not to mention Bradley hasn't got knocked out by the likes of Prescott either.

It's not Bradley's fault, it's HBO's. They will fight but not til later this year, DEAL WITH IT. Stop crying like a female.

Come on man that's bull. Everyone was calling for the fight. About as many people that know Khan in the US now is about the same amount that knew him before the Malignaggi fight. The Malignaggi fight was packed with Khan fans, not Malignaggi fans dude. Truth is they didn't want Khan to fight Maidana cause they thought he would get knocked out. They only took the fight when the WBA was going to step in to avoid a purse bid and losing out on what Khan is gauranteed per fight with Goldenboy.
